Hate how late defenders are when trying to contest shots though

This is well known to be false dude. Come on. The fact that you even have to call this out makes the point.

Nice screenshots, btw.

Yikes. Graphically, NBA 2k9 looks better than this.

Sadly though there isn't one area in the gameplay department that you can pinpoint and say "This part is 100% solid, and they just need to fix XYZ" There are aspects that I really enjoy about the game, but it truly feels like they are 2 solid years away from having a good hoops title. I'm glad I got it, but I couldn't imagine finding enough enjoyment to play a full 82 game season - it literally will be just a rarely used alternative to NBA2k, and I am sure that is not what they were hoping for -

This was my impression as well-- hey, some of the animations and movement is actually almost context sensitive. It actually kind of looks sort of okay in certain situations. Too bad no single aspect of the game is actually well done, and the leading features are done the most poorly. It's like the developers followed a document on what might make a good basketball game, but have never played a good one themselves or can envision what one should look, play, and feel like.

Actually what it plays like is a moderately funded, semi-amateur Half-Life/TF mod modded to play like NBA 2K. It's the Counterstrike of basketball games-- a derivative that just doesn't quite have the polish or depth of the competitor it appears to emulate, except not fun. Counterstrike was actually charming and fun in its own ugly way, mainly because it was free. Steve Nash already looks like a TF2 character.

Really having a hard time even finishing a game because of the limited camera options and I find all 4 or 5 of them terrible. I hate to say it, but would love to see something close to the 2k cam/high cam from the other game.

Man I really like this game and yes I know it has some of its flaws but I'm still having fun with. I've been playing dynasty mode with Knicks for the past few days and have been enjoying it.
