I preordered it even before I saw this 15 second clip. Really excited.

I'm not impressed. The clip of "game footage" was like 5 seconds long and his voice didn't even sync up with his mouth. I'm going to wait till I see more before I make a decision on purchasing this or not.

If this were to only to come out for the PC...I would buy both versions of the game....

Anyone who has played a Naughty Dog game should know the difference between game engine cutscenes and actual gameplay.

If patterns hold to form, we won't see any gameplay ourselves until weeks from now. And never surprises me when people nitpick on things like double dribble (even if they're joking) or calf sizes. It's the nature of the beast.

im hoping live is competitive this year.

I do remember seeing the trailer for nba live 06 for the "next gen" and all the hype of it coming on a new system, and thinking how advanced it was going to be over 05, which i actually liked better than 2k5.

never thought 05 would be the last live i enjoyed.

I will be in wait and see mode for 5 on 5 gameplay.
hoping to enjoy 2 nba games this year

Yeah except that EA hasn't put up a game in 3 years. That trailer shows basically nothing.

Now don't quote me on this, but I swear I saw a double dribble in there.

They always had skinny models, but I have no problem with it, gives is a nice different varied look from 2K. I hope the controls are to convoluted. I liked NBA Live 10 a lot, I thought the controls on that were awesome, I hope it's not changed too much.

the PS network has a feature that lets you try out any game, even if there isn't a demo, so let hopes that's something that works if they don't release an official demo.
