Who is gonna have to be bribed on the dev team to FINALLY get some home/away/alternate accessories in this game. Not a gamebreaker obviously for those who will undoubtedly act like that's what this is saying. It's just a tad on the completely ridiculous side that this hasn't been fixed yet. At the very least allow us to edit other players in My Player and Playoff modes so I don't have to be forced to look at stupid inaccurate uniform combinations like that white headband green bands and black sleeves look they have for the C's here (they rock all white at home for the record) Other than that, fantastic stuff from 2K and this vid makes the wait for the 4th even harder.

I'm with you bro, if they had them separate, it would make this game a 100 on a 10 point scale to me... right now it's a 90 haha

The most impressive thing about the video for me was cpu play and off-ball movement on the offensive end. Hopefully that carries over into My Player. Passing looks similar to last year. At 8:15 in the vid, I like that the defense was able to defend the lay-up attempt by O'neal after the lead pass from Rondo.

I too would've liked to have seen some more examples of live ball physics. Those will come with more videos or by the time we get the demo.

when i saw Kamen cut to the open space, when Griffin was double teamed. A tear fell from my left eye. Wish we could have see how the isomotion works this year, that was my only let down of the video, ray allen showed a little bit.

Positives:
-I'm actually loving how the CPU is playing. They are going to they're main guys Griffin and Gordon. And I don't believe I saw them run the same exact play twice. They may have run a similar play but it was on the opposite side of the court or they chose a different option. Also I love how Blake Griffin was so aware of when to set a pick, on one possesion I saw him set 3 perimeter picks when a play wasn't even running.
-The jumpshooting is very smooth; there are no hitches involved and and it looks like the days of getting your jumpshot blocked from rediculous places is gone.
-I liked the animation choices that the game made around the hoop. No more elongated contact animations down low when most NBA players are skilled enough to find a way to put up a clean shot.
-The post game looks completely overhauled for sure, looks like KG has a new post fadeaway. Also the post entries look MUCH better
- Ray Allen's new sig shot looks noooiccee. As well as everybody else's, minus Gordon.
-At 5:26, I love how Rondo began to initiate a euro step but since there was defense in front of him, he was stopped in his tracks and was forced to put up an ugly shot. NICE.
-I loved the final play of the video when O'Neal got blocked by Griffin. Looked smooth and realistic, not canned at all.
Negatives
-The CPU passed up a couple open shots.
-That Griffin layup... yuck.
-Ronnie is not too skilled at the game, seemed like he was trying to spam the paint with Rondo (maybe intentionally?)

Overall this video was great and definitely an improvement from last year in every aspect. Can't wait to get my hands on this game.

Very nice. Everything I liked has already been touched on, but a couple things:

Wasn't sure at 1st how the 3-man booth would work...thought it might be a bit cluttered/crowded. But sounds like they all mesh seamlessly. Much as I like Clark (probably in the minority, I know), Steve looks like a great addition.

The walk-the-ball up animation is back! No more of that creeping hunchback stuff from last year.

Looks like we have a legit fastbreak this season.

Everything just looks so...fluid. Shooting, defensive movement, passing, off-ball movement.....just everything. Smooth as can be.

Hard to read too much into an 8-minute sneak peek, but if this is what's in store, well, they've outdone themselves (yet again).

They were affected or changed by the contact physics Bro

People always seem to have to complain about everything, just enjoy the game, it's going to be spectacular..

Players in real life sometimes put up "ugly shots"
