	"One of the key changes we made this year was introducing all-new Hands-On Control. This puts the control of the player in your hands, and gets rid of the dice-roll shooting, canned animations, and loss of control you�ve experienced in past NBA Basketball video games. Like putting in time at the gym, there�s a learning curve with Hands-On Control. But once you feel the difference, you�ll know why we changed everything. To compare Hands-On Control to the old button configuration, you can switch back in your Lakers-Celtics game in the demo through Pause-> Menu -> Setting -> Control Setting. We really encourage you to put in the time in Practice Mode with the Hands-On Control and feel the difference versus our old controls."

I am never a fan of sliders, because I think we are supposed to play the game not change or fix the game ourselves, though I do want some sliders due to individual preferences...but hearing you said the sliders will have lots of impact to the acutal game is interesting, because from the past both in 2k and live, is sometimes really hard to see if certain sliders changes can affect the game at all, and most of us don't even know what some sliders even do! Can't wait for the demo, half an hour left!!!

Can't to play the game. Going to wake up early and download before I go to school, then another wait at school until I can come home and play. Can't wait to read people's impressions on the game.

Definitely jet lagged, but I'm pretty hyped for the demo.

May have a hard time sleeping because of both.

is this you confirming that the game played better after slider edits?

# 105 stepsix @ 09/21/10 12:42 AM

Hah no - just saying the 'experience' can be modified to give you a different feel. I'm of the belief that the dev team should tune the game to play how they feel it should, but that's not to say how the dev team feels the game should play is in alignment with everybody. I really like the idea of slider sets that you can toggle through a la NHL, because with a single set there's no way to please everyone.

# 106 Philstat @ 09/21/10 12:43 AM

If this is not up by 11 central, probably won't be until tomorrow.

We've asked for this for AGES.

Once again: Live '05 had this. '04 too.

# 108 stepsix @ 09/21/10 01:01 AM

'06 Live went to the common Front End (FE) and we lost a lot of those gems. I'm on AI but I'll be pestering the FE guys for variable season length and slider sets for 12.

# 116 Pared @ 09/21/10 01:05 AM

LOL I still remember being the first to realize the settings were reversed in '04 when I put out sliders. Sim was arcade and arcade was sim.

Go figure. Fun times...

Guess you guys are bored waiting for it to hit too, huh?

# 117 BaylorBearBryant @ 09/21/10 01:09 AM

Can't wait for the release. OS Reviews and demo experiences will help me decide on which NBA game to purchase.

I rmb lol but those two games were perfect I didn't fix anything it gave me a great 2 years of non stop playing with Iverson and his sixers

# 119 HOLLIDAY1183 @ 09/21/10 01:13 AM

Sweet, having both systems def a + in this situation. This time of year I'm catching the serious hoops fever, so I'm going to be playing the heck out of these demos the next two weeks.

I've had my doubts about the "new focus" for this year, but I'm taking the devs at their word or having to "feel" the controls, withholding judgement. But if this game is good, I'm going to play it, and buy it, period.

***off to DL on PS3***

# 120 jrich730 @ 09/21/10 01:15 AM

Hey any one of the Devs how come you guys didn't do the tuner sets like ncaa and nhl or did you all do them or is that a plan for the future?
