fix some of the issues ?

Well right off the bat, the engine is outdated. You can't "tweak" that. It's flawed from the ground up.

it makes no sense why would EA release a pre alpha video build at this point in time

It was not released through official channels.

Pre game presentation was sweet. For the rest I will obey my mother who taught me that if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

They screwed up so bad .. Had the chance to win our money !
The game is so official but this looks like NBA 2k12 on IPad ...
Com'on.

Yeah, it's called a 'soft reveal'. IMO a very poor choice in how to handle the situation when they know they're on the last thread of trust with most bball gamers. Don't try to cover up, misdirect and lie about it at this point.

I highly doubt this was released by EA. Unless their game looks awesome and plays awesome and they just wanted to show this one first, get a bunch of negative comments, tell us it's months old, then release the real version and turn us all around. I doubt that.

I lost all interest once I heard "Jeff Van Gundy with Mike Breen ready to call the action..." Possibly the two worst commentators in the history of sports. They pretty much ruined the finals for me. Between Van Gundy's constant flip flopping and Mike Breen's undying man crush on Lebron James a man can only take so much.
