I can say it because it's a feeling not based on any logic what so ever. I'm a perssimist. I'm not drawing any conculsion until tomorrow, and hoping to be pleasantly proven dead wrong.

It's a shame details like these don't make it into EA games. That would be more acceptable if the core of the game was that much better, but...

I second this. These screens are a tease with hints of what's new in MP. Better MP face creation, (possibly) higher, REALISITC overall to start with, Mock Drafts, interviews, PROMOTIONAL billboards, Sports Illustrated mag (I'm willing to bet milestones and success/failure, as well as being traded or signing a new contract, will possibly land you or the team on the SI cover). Combine that with already having post-game press conferences and (hopefully) the ability to land a sponsorship with ANY company, not just Jordan, and they're already adding to the realism and authenticity of actually being a player.

Seeing "Come Fly With Us" and "The Future Has Arrived..." really has me interested in becoming the star of a team instead of being a Robin. Lot of teams that are gonna need a PG face of the franchise...

That being said, I hope we can get some footage of MP, or even maybe have the college game and/or interview process as a demo, or part of it. Looking forward to the insight tomorrow, I imagine it'll be lengthy .

Are you going to pass on the game if the improvements are not up to your standard?

All of that is great(I'm not being facetious it's really great), but this isn't IMO going to enhance MP's replay value. There are still huge issues with progession, in game goals, longivity, and teammates AI/performance. Addressing these issues is what will make or break this mode not billboards.

I don't know good question. MP is the only mode I play. I think just the gameplay improvements are enough, but if none of my key issues get addressed maybe not.

I just purchased two games that's a different sport, by a different company and because their BAP mode is lacking I regret buying both. I don't need another coaster if you get what I'm saying. LOL Although my step son would play it so it wouldn't go to waste.

I don't really care if NOTHING new is added about MP other than it's already been announced(contracts, interviews etc etc).. All I care about is better OVR(already seen i Ronnie's screenie) in the beginning and have some intelligent players on the court.

i hope they add taunting or signature celebration like dikembe mutombo's finger wag
