Haven't tested this myself, but looking at gameplay footage from Shakedown, it looks like you van still do an infinite stutter step without the ball touching the ground...kind of felt like this would be fixed with all the focus on dribbling this year....

total disappointment for lack of a better word

Yep. This is my only real disappointment. All the talk of Bouncetek, and the ball artifacts you have seen in every basketball games before are still there. I can live with it, but I was expecting not to have to live with it. So much for the groundbreaking feature.

Online game #5

Nets vs. Grizzlies.

This guy would just take Deron Williams on a full sprint from one end of the court to the other, turbo by my on-ball defender and dunk the ball over AI Gasol and AI Randolph, who would just stand there flat-footed every time.

Williams would occasionally run over one of my players, but the game never called a charge.

As usual, nobody could make a jump shot due to crazy input lag.

Terrible.

I haven't played the game yet, xbox release in Australia tomorrow night, but the impressions here are getting really ugly, and the game here is going to retail at $100AU so I'm gonna play the demo (just to say I did & I'm opinionated) and keep my 2K14 pre-order and play that.

I don't think this game will be any good for CPU vs User gameplay. The best production seems like Human vs Human play because that way plays will get called and and the gameplay will look much better with two humans controlling the action.

It's probably why they didn't even include sliders.

Something is wrong in Kansas. Many of you know, strong advocate of Live here. Not anymore. I'm done. I'll say Live 08 looks and plays better. No, really. PS2 Live was more fun than this. Good features cannot erase how sluggish this game is. And um, no game speed adjustments? Seems to play slow then when you go in for a dunk the dribbler gets an unrealistic brief burst of speed for that short instant. One button for shooting? Come on. Feels unbalanced or something. Defense is boring and just nonexistent. Dunking is fun. Horrible models and glitchy. Commentary? Just ok. Courts look good and fans. Cheerleaders? Look like ps2 girls. Needs a year or more dev time. 2 out of 5.
