I have to run in a second (in korea at the korean games conference about to give my presentation) but I'll give it a quick go here. Yes the verticals are unrealistic. But we did that intentionally to make another aspect of the game more realistic. Basically, we took real life scenarios and tested them out in the game to make sure the game was responding like real life. So take two equally tall players, put the defender right up on the ball carrier and and tell the defender "I'm going to shoot the ball in 3 seconds" and then do it. In real life, the defender should block that shot 9/10 times. In our game at the time, with realistic verticals, you could never, and I mean never, block that shot. The reasons are reaction delay, the time it took the animation to play out with the proper gather, and the general controller latency. So we tuned the game until we got a real life result for that scenario. We then proceeded to do the same thing with a ton of other real life scenarios. What you're left with is a game that "controls" like real life, gives realistic results, but sacrifices realism in other areas, like verticals and jump gathers. People may not agree with our choices, but you have to admit that it is a perfectly valid approach to building a sim game. And it offers something gamers haven't had before in a basketball game. Usually that kind of thing would be appreciated by the hard core. I'm hoping once the demo gets out people will start to understand better. hope this made sense...so jet lagged

First just let me say I'm about as hardcore as you can get when it comes to sports games. I just want a realistic balance. However...

More needs to be taken into account besides the timing of a shot. The reach of the player, the position the player is in, how fast and high the release of the shooter is, etc...Verticals, globally, need turned down. That's on offense, as well as defense. All players are jumping too high. Results of a blocked shot should be a combination of factors, not just timing. If you have to sacrifice the amount of blocked shots, but have realistic verticals/animations - I'd be all for that. It's all about balance.

If you exclude tip shots, which are very rarely blocked, the overall percentage of shots that have been re-directed in the NBA this season is 6.6%, or in other words about one out of every fifteen shots. Jumper 3.8% Close Up 14.2% Dunks 2.7% Totals 6.6%

Why can't stats like these be implemented with Synergy to reflect real-life statistics? I understand it's user-controlled, but it's also realistic to have around 5 BPG on average per team and have it somewhat life like. If you can reflect the stats to show more blocks in the paint and less on jumpshots, as well as incorporate all of the factors into blocking shots we've mentioned, it could help with your verticals issues, as well.

The more I watch the less I'm impressed with the RTP's and really dont understand how its special. I understand you cant judge how it feels by watching clips ,but certain basic physics principles are being ignored just by watching clips of this game.

when comes the demo for ps3?

Jumping in basketball is too important of an action to purposely get it wrong for any reason. I'm sorry nobody in the decision making process feels this way. Like mentioned I would much rather have blocks be rare(especially on jumpshots because they do rarely get blocked) then have every player jumping out of the gym just to have some. This is a mistake in my opinion one that could kill this game for me.

I feel you. The concern with jump shots is contesting, making sure you get a hand up...not w/ blocking it. smh

I see the same old behind the back dribble move to get to the bucket.. kinda reminds me of how everyone would do the skipping after every made bucket in Live 10

I'm lowering that crap down....

I can't play with guys jumping out the gym like kangeroos all over the floor.

All verticals are coming down to 50 and below once again this year. I can't believe they keep doing this every year.
