LOL. Is there some employee exchange program in the industry I don't know about?
For me, I have to say that this is FAR superior than the videos that were shown. I'm confused as to how to feel about this. On one hand, you have a UvU game that makes the game look crazy. On the other, you have a UvU game that makes the game look much, much better. Maybe it was the camera angle? I don't know. If THIS was out before the other vids, I don't think there would be as harsh of a general reaction. But the visual gap based on the user is alarming, yet impressive. If you get two guys that know the game and want to play a REAL game, you can have a pretty good experience with the game I would think.
I disagree with the comments about commentary. This group sounds SO much better than the older crew and I don't think it's because it's new. They may have sounded less energetic as they do on TV, but come on. This is their first time doing this sort of thing. Ease up.
Gameplay - I saw some things that I liked. There are some nice animations sequences as cutters and defenders come through the crowd, putting their hands up. Reacting and flinching on passes. Things like that. On one hand, I see the dribbler getting separation from the defender, but the next, the defender is sliding over as quickly as the dribbler.
Ultimately, I will say that this video makes we want to play the demo even more. I've bought last year's game and I'm still deciding about this one. The demo will decide.
