Well I disagree with the last 2 posts.
On the hardest mode (where I've been playing) Turbo only slighty increases speed. As far as offensive rebounds go, when you shoot, you'll almost always have a guy down low, just pick him and hit the jump button and you'll get offensive rebounds, if you wait for the computer to get offensive rebounds for you, forget it. This game is real, it makes you work for everything. People who are used to the old way of letting the computer do so many things for you are in for a dissapointment. This version allows you to do so many things that it makes the game entirely different from a gameplay standpoint.
The graphics are some of the best seen on any system.
The movements are the best of any game.
Freestyle is useless in the harder modes.
I'm finding shooting percentages of 40-58% in most games. It varies by team (as it should). You'll find that detroit holds the ball more to keep the score down and they defend well, they switch off each other perfectly.
Sacramento will allow you to run up and down every game (Dallas too).
But then again, look at dallas and sacramento this year. Scores of 125-120 are typical. Why should the game be geared to keeping scores in the 70's when real games are going past 100.
