Goodness. This is all too good to be true.

Sports GOTY, hands down...

Next time you play as the road team and pull off one of those Signature Gather moves (as seen in the Controls Trailer), you might just see a couple of the wanna-be referees in the crowd stand up and beg for a traveling call from the guys who get paid to be officials. Not only that, but when calls go against the home team, you’ll see some the crowd react in a similar fashion. This was done in an effort to give the home crowd a little personality and to mimic the kind of stuff that YOU may do when attending to game (I can’t be the only one who does it). It also shows that the fans know what’s going on in the game. The best part about this is the percentage of the crowd reaction differs from city to city.

And here's hoping they got rid of the corny holiday overlays... (Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, etc.) Maybe I don't pay attention but I never see real broadcasts do that.

It’s pretty cool that the spectators aren’t there just because we have to make the stadium look full. Another example of this (which is my favorite) is certain players doing their signature rituals on their home floor before tip-off, and the crowd actually responding to them

Hopefully this means the crowd will really get into Lebron's pregame chalk routine.

But for me, what is even more exciting than dancing bears is really seeing the psychological game between the refs and the coaches. If a coach is not pleased with a call, you will see the coach unload on the ref. A bad play on the floor by a player will trigger a more visceral response from Coach, but I am sure Phil Jackson will be his usual zen self. The coach and refs are no longer dormant chess pieces but really a part of the game.

I wonder if this means we'll finally get coach attributes.
