Headscans are pretty nice as is some of the foot planting. Barnes looks like a bit of a zombie with his awkward eye and freethrow animation. Doesn't seem like they have Barnes' sig FT either. Slow dribble animations are great but the fast ones in motion and in contact are pretty goofy and terrible. Looks essentially like Elite 11.
Signature parts of role players doesn't seem to be there. The running with the ball animation with draymond is an old animation and needs work. Out bounds force field there. It is alpha, so I'm not really to judgmental either way, gotta see it closer to launch
It's definitely improved a lot & I see the potential it has but it's still not there yet. They're about a year away from really competing in my opinion but I definitely can see the effort the devs are putting in.
Sometimes these early vids aren't a good thing because I went from being overly hyped from the screenshots to greatly underwhelmed from these gameplay vids, at this point I just hope the gameplay looks totally different from what we are seeing by the time the game releases.

It's hard to get a good impression from these videos though, because the people playing don't know what they're doing. It's like that with 2k as well. The person on the sticks can make the game look great, or make it look bad.
Was about to say "Man, that walk up animation Kyrie did was pretty dope!" Then on the very next time down the court he did the exact same one. -Face Palm-

I thought that was by far the best thing about the video. The second he broke out of that and started jogging/running it looked like vintage Live herky-jerky. Don't even get me started on the passing animations.
I like the graphics and courts and lightning, is kind of more realistic than 2Ks ... also like the animation were Kyrie slowly brings the ball up the court and the handoffs of the other videos ... like the apparent feel of foot planting when dribbling and the off ball animations that make the game look lively.
There is still work to do to polish the in between animations ... Dont like how the paint jumpers look and also those moving shots that I cant identify if they are hooks, floaters or what ... dont like Westbrook (cover boy) face scan nor his skin tone.
Maybe because of the build but too many repetitive camera angles.
Here is to hope for more and that the playable version at gamescon is a more update build, so I can get a better appreciation of what has been done ... then again, if there isnt full player editing, I believe I wont get it unless its surpasses my expectations and the competition product.
