This guy has some good things to say about the game but also some not so good things to say.

One of the things he criticizes is the pick n roll feature (although he does cite his "poor skills") but I've heard so far nothing but good things about the system. The other thing he harps on - Derek Fisher being "too" clutch - is kind of troubling. I just hope that when you're playing against someone that is the Lakers you won't have games where D-Fish drops 9 three pointers on you.

Too Clutch? Well, since the guys said that his skills are lacking, let's just assume that is for both office and defense. I'm not saying there's no validity to his statements...but we know that Czar doesn't lack skill, and his impressions have been that he's impressed.

just saying.

Nice find but this was already posted in the forums, 2 days ago - http://www.operationsports.com/newspost.php?id=356175

I had meant to post on it, then, but as much as a I found it refreshing that someone wasn't fawning all over the game, dude sounds like he's not a sports gamer, or at least not a b-ball gamer, when it comes to consoles. For me, it was hard to take his opinion seriously.

That makes it two blog posts for me where somethings already been posted. ADD gets me again.

But I agree that the guy doesn't sound like he's sports gamer. The one comment he made about sport games not focusing on gameplay rather than gimmicks was suspicious considering all the work EA and 2K have made (good or bad) on improving gameplay over the years.
