It looks like NBA 2K12 for the ipad.

When was the video put up again? I just noticed it's there and can't find the page in this thread that takes note of that fact.

Earlier today. The info about the video is on the main website operationsports.com, including EA's statement.

I feel like they put just as much depth into the crowd as they did the players... even the team logos looked bad, like the Heats logo looked ********. But I guess if it's a pre alpha build then we shouldn't complain.

That's what's this thread is about. It's already posted page 1 so why post the link again?

There you go.

AND ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE IT'S NOT PRE-ALPHA. Don't buy that line. Pre-alpha is like...pre-alpha is like the very first paragraph of the first piece of paper you write a rough draft on. All the features that you want to put in the game hasn't even been decided on typically during the pre-alpha stage. This build has full commentary, art, quarters, every team, connection to the EA servers, leaderboards, the exit option for the game and so on, all of that is not available on pre-alpha build of a video game.

Put it like this. You can bet money that there were no more than four teams available on the build of 2K13 that was at E3 and I'll bet money My Player, Association, Dream Team, 2012 Team USA or anything Jay-Z related was not seen or heard by anybody that saw that game and I'm almost 100 percent certain that what was at E3 was pre-alpha 2K.

There's absolutely no chance that the final retail looks much different than this.

I know for a fact that the game is a mess. Even if the weird gameplay quirks are ironed out (see: that LeBron situation at about 7 minutes in), you don't just replace models and animations from one build to another. Fundamentally this is how the game looks. It may play better, but there's not reason to believe that. If it did, then I'm sure they would have been much more willing to showcase it to the public.

At this rate, I'd be surprised if it didn't get cancelled again.
