Easy..because I'm not you, i have my own opinion. Either way the dunks are motion captured, so I'm pretty sure the speed is right.

Well honestly I wouldn't be using it if they hadn't brought the word out. But it makes sense for what I'm talking about the players seem to be moving a lot more smoothly.

Last year the players animations looked great but there was times when the movement wasn't on the same level. There would be a lot of hitches and unnecessary motions.

And that to me is a problem with locomotion (or general player movement) not so much the animations themselves. The players transition from each move a lot quicker.

Which adds a lot when we get to look at the game at 60fps, it really sticks out when you compare this one to the other vids. Or maybe I'm just seeing things haha

Wade sliced between the D without any real dribble moves there, which is great. You can actually get to where you want to go on the court in an efficient way this year.

Chris Paul is going to be just INCREDIBLE to control this year. Responsive movement + right stick passing = drive and kick heaven! Players actually have proper shot preparation too, FINALLY! There was nothing worse than hitting a wide open shooter in 2k10 and then taking 2 seconds to get the shot up. 2K is starting to add some much needed fundamentals that have been missing for years.

Video looks really good. The snapback/warp animation occurred when Marion got crossed up though and he was able to get back in position. He would have been lucky to even get close to recovering in real life. Thats just a nick-pick though. The player movement overall is gorgeous.

Someone lied, or maybe you haven't seen everything yet?

Very smooth looking game. I'm really looking forward to playing this.

Exactly... last year was the year of the highflyer, this years going to be the year of the point guard. After downloading this vid to my PS3 and running it on the bigscrene a bunch of times I'm officially hyped for this game!!!!

The speed isn't right, it's very obvious.
