Reminds me of The Orange Box on the PS3 (inferior to the PC and 360 versions).

I guess it does accurately portray the game on PS3.

Where's the NBA Jam demo!?! LOL. I'm sorry I just can't get with this game, I was a fan of Live 09 and Live 10 until they ruined it with the patches. With that said this game is just garbage to me. Pure garbage imo. Bad animations, goofy controls, bad graphics(still waiting to see on 360), it's just a mess. I wish EA luck.

Well i was hoping this demo would hold me over until Nba 2k11 drops but after reading these 1st impressions i see that it wont. Still goin to download for my 360 tho, i could use a good laugh.

Well I just changed my view to broadcast (before the tip off) and change the controls back to buttons (after the game start). The game feels a little better. But I think it's time to move on anyway.

I'm soooo disappointed with this game. I had high hopes after Live 10 showed flashes of briliance. They just needed to polish that game.

Graphics are BRUTAL!!! Feels very generic. Shooting actually feels good but other than that...it's all downhill.

Live 06 for the 360 looks way better than this game. I've had every EA basketball game since Lakers vs Celtics for the PC...I think this will be the the first time I won't pick up an EA NBA licensed basketball title.

It's being more heart breaking than Live 07 for me, really. Sorry for the devs here in the thread. I really wanted to enjoy this game.

My last hope is downloading it for the 360 and have a good surprise...but the chances are slim to none.

I'ma "keep it real" as they say - LOVE the controls, especially in the tutorial, but every thing is moving and animating way too fast in 5v5. The animations need work and the game look stripped down but I like playing it in low baseline cam as opposed to my beloved broadcast cam. The game seems virtually unplayable in broadcast cam, to me.
I think if the speed is slowed down, and I hope there is a slider in the retail version for that yet I somehow doubt it, it could make a big difference. I think the game moves this fast to be able to pull off the 1:1 controls but it suffers because of it.

That is ironic. It works for the other games, so it should be fine for this one. No one is complaining.
