That's what I think the difference between the two games will be this year. 2K = Real Life Basketball Simulation, Elite = Basketball GAME

I don't think 2k will go Physics based unless Elite kills them in sales, which is definitely not gonna happen this year. They're not gonna overhaul anything while they have the momentum they have now. Maybe on the next gen consoles you'll see them rebuild and go physics based.

And where the hell is this realistic physics in the 'Picture 007' video at 2:05 when the player with the ball just flicked his wrist at the defender and he went flying!! That is unforgivable and especially as PHYSICS is meant to be the main feature of the game! Shocking.

Help me out people please..... Am I missing something? This game looks just as good as 2K and seems to flow better. But maybe it's just me.

Very dissapointed with the videos. A lot of good comments posted above. I too am a bit dissapointed with this. I guess I'm paying $60 for NBA Jam, and getting this for free.

Yeah, lets not be ridiculous and count the game out before the demo....I have my doubts, concerns, issues etc, but until I get the feel of the game in my hands....I have to reserve judgement....this could end up being a great bball sim!

On the other extreme....can the excuses stop for that Boozer dunk? its ridiculous and should be ridiculed accordingly...hopefully the devs can catch this and address it before release..

Wait, I can't tell if you're serious or just trying to be funny.

If you want to try something new in the basketball genre I think you will like it. In past years I would say Live was an option to 2K, but now its more like an alternative.

Two completely different ways to play the game of basketball.
