Only thing i didn't like about ESPN, some things I said before, and the defense still doesn't look that good, small guys can still reject taller guys [hated this]. Cassell blocked Kirilenko out of bounds :x
The Isomotion post up is very repetitive, but it's a great thing to build on for later versions, so I like it.

The players seem to be able to still just bust through the defense for a dunk, like when they were showing the lead pass, and when Wade dunks in traffic, that scared me :cry:

:applaud: With a $20.00 dollar price tag and improved animations I'll be picking it up for when I get "Lived-out" but those points you brought up were so perfectly worded. To me, and this is going to absolutely send The 2K Twins into a tizzy, I put the 2K series in the same genre as NBA Street and the like. It's just an arcade NBA game to me just like it's forefather NBA Action/NBA Fastbreak, no more no less... Except of course that it's not about over the top moves etc., I like to call it "Simulation-Light."

I think they put the difficulty on "Rookie" to show off the animations. I highly doubt that if you played on any higher difficulty that you'd see Cassell doing such.

I hope not, but I'm excited, $20, actually it's like $27.99 here is like 3 days of lunch for me, so I'll definately be getting this right when it drops.

What I don't like though is how in Rookie they make it that garbage players get better handles, things like that shoouldn't happen, rookie should just make the computer play less agressively, and not as good, but not make the players ratings get pumped up :x

Hehehe, I prefer NBA Street myself but my point was I consider it sort of in the same genre. Sega's titles whether football or basketball feel that way to me, "arcadish."
