I liked the interview. Didn't say anything new but I liked the focus and the direction EA is trying to go

Live that was a very wide generalization you made what people are you referring to that don't care about basketball ? Did you take a poll or something ? If you talking mainly about people on OS I can't even see that statement as being correct man. But maybe your talking about another crowd.

Oh and its Hockey Dude !!! ROTFLOL

I always hear only about gameplay but nothing about the franchise mode. Why is that?

Though I can appreciate the idea of being responsible for making my own shots, if I developed the ability to consistently hit 3's w/Rondo how would the represent Rondo? I now have a generic player w/a difficult shot release, do I not?

I thought this was supposed to be an NBA games with representations of REAL players. If so then why not have the real limitations that the real players have? By the way there aren't multiple releases for each player only varying margins of error. A perfect straight release hits no matter how large the sweet spot or small the margin of error.

That isn't even my major concern though. I've been wondering over the last few weeks when was the last improvement in this series made to TEAM play, meaning actual gameplay improvements to make the game more realistically reflect real life challenges of playing in the NBA? Please don't say last year! Though last year was an improvement on the series, it was simply made more challenging across the board (a lot of which was through CPU cheats) and not really reflective of the actual challenge of NBA play. Pretty much every game had the same challenge whether it was the Clippers or the Celtics.

It was an interview with a specific focus. There are all kinds of facets to the game that they have yet to touch on, why speculate that they haven't?

Great Interview, still waiting on a release date for the demo.

As others have stated, nothing really new.

Time will tell.
