I'm with you Bro...my wife don't understand the logic...I told her I don't understand a $2000 handbag either.
I'm getting both a 360 and PS4 version

I love the game already and so I'm sure ill enjoy this one. My only concern is these are the two best teams with good defensive skills already. Just hoping they rep my Pacers well as well as all the other teams. Once I get a feel for that, then I'll feel better.

It's prob to late to ask Jwill but I was wondering if they are finally satisfied with where all the controls are because as an older player I'm hoping I don't have to keep relearning that every year - arthritis and all lol.

I might need to play the game to get a good feel for it. Anything that bothered you while playing the game Jwill? What's your overall impression now a day later? By the way, how was moving around the permiter? Did you feel really free or where you fighting animations?

Not really much, contact was there, game speed was a bit slower overall but the explosions/quickness was still there. TP was definitely quick off his first step, as he blew by me a few times ... just that quick.

Some really nice layup animations happened, as well as some good looking post/up n under stuff.

Flashy passes was the only thing that made me raise an eyebrow... while looking nice... just too accurate, but when I brought it up I was assured that it was only due to the build.

movement felt fine, as said a bit slower, but that's good it (for me) felt normal cause my slider set has the speed lowered.

Never felt like I was fighting animations, wish I would've been able to edit difficulty tho.

That looked better than it has done before. In 2K13, you would probably need a wider angle to go around Duncan(If you weren't in the 2-player animation). JWill, how did you feel about the audio?

the station's volumes were hella low and borderlands booth was right there doing multiplayer games. So I can't really say.

As turnover prone as my team is I'm not expecting accuracy - only to get killed by it since a flashy pass prob adds to momentum a bit for my opponent lol.

I did ask about controls going forward but they said something to the effect of we have to keep idea paths open or something like that..

Yeah I'm sure it adds to the momentum system.

A new mode? You would of thought they could have paid attention to the existing modes glaring issues first before creating another one...
