Hey,
after a long night...of playing nba my "next turn" of impressions .
Menus:
no better also the "sound-blob" erverytime if you navigate through the menus.
to checkered, no clear look. The menus in nba01 wasn´t a hit but much better than
nba 03
The worst menu screen is the trading screen. Folks i have a 19 monitor and the game rund in 1024x768 but is looks like 320x160
At the menus you can see really good the effect of the console.programming , because for console you must navigate with the pad.
There some similar things with the menus but what happends
Grafiics and animations:
Thats good, the animations looks really smooth, also the lay up etc. The grafics
good work, if turn all of max.
But...ea take now the jersey with the hole pattern. Look at the jersey patches of nba 2001 . This is old stuff
Also the faces. Look really good, but i thing our patches would make better faces with the grafics tool from ea. There are more talented. The best example is Kidd
He has a piercing glance like Hanibal Lector
Improvement:
The changea player with all this stuff, Tatoos etc ! I wish that there more different style
muscles . There are only good shape or looks like Schwarzeneggger .
Gameplay:
Yes, with all the options of the freestyle control it is the first time to play real move like post up game etc. It is harder but better !
I think by the balance of gameplay we have the best effect of the game.
Which improvmet is important for a new roster
- less stealing
- lower speed
- lower fg %
-lower 3pt fg%
- changing player ratings overall
The old 80+ player are now the 90+ the old 70+ player are now the 80+
etc
Sound:
if you like rap.....its ok if not uhhhhhh
