Animations are still off, lay-ups are too floaty, and it just doesn't look like real basketball. I will take $20 from the $60 I was going to spend on this and put it towards the MJSE of the other title. I'm so disappointed because for the 3rd year in a row I thought I would be having two good basketball games. And NO I haven't played it and nor will that change my mind UNLESS they drop some major patch that fixes the flaws.

Doesn't look like basketball? I can't see what you're seeing. Looks like solid ball to me

If you have specific animations you'd like to see fixed, check out this thread: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-feedback.html

Some floaty things at the rim on occasion and passing looks a bit funny at times, but nothing really looks too way off. I think it's going to be fun. Regardless of the nitpicks haters always bring up, I say get over it . Base it on the fun factor.

Man, there are a lot of positives to take from this video, but for me, the lack of collisions and animations around the rim would be a deal breaker, assuming it isn't drastically improved by a patch, which I really don't think would be possible.

It's a shame, because the graphics are greatly improved and the overall player movement seems much better. At the end of the day though, I can't pay $60 for a game in which I'm cringing every time anyone drives the lane. How long have they been using that terrible hook shot animation now, 6 years? And is that the only shot animation they have in the post?

EA got scared because they knew 2k could make a better nfl game. so rather than improve their game, they just took the "easy route" and bought the license.

Not accurate at all. The NFL approached both EA and 2K to make the game exclusive (just like everything else with the NFL is exclusive), and EA won the bid.

But, anyway, back to the thread.

Having more than one choice is never a bad thing, however, when the difference is this drastic the illusion of choice is just that, an illusion.

^^^^^^^ THIS!!!!
