http://www.operationsports.com/previews ... -part-two/

    smoother gameplay
    some lead pass speed boosting still
    no blocking spam
    crowd will interact with the ball when it goes into the crowd
    standing alleyoops added
    no manual bounce passes
    no delay between fake pass and regular pass
    AI uses more fakes and adjustments
    Over the back, illegal screens and off ball fouls are still in
    Broadcast views are Arena specific
    Crowd still gets "lost" in the game, not always reacting properly
    Free throw feedback is now a percentage
    Blacktop mode was "cleaned up" (still exists, woooo!)
    no self alley oops
    AI didn't walk the ball up the court
    no no-look steals
    34 classic teams, 30 NBA
    more back-stories
    can customize location of NBA logo on headband
    will be a shoe insight
    only old MP drill is the shooting one, 8 new
    500+ Press Conferences
    no D-League in MP
    Retire at any time

Tbh the D-League in My Player isn't a big loss, now if we loose it in Association then that will annoy me because I used to like sending players down and playing games with them so I know how they feel without screwing up my team.

It seems they have put a great effort on the gameplay. a big (Y)

"Crowd still gets "lost" in the game, not always reacting properly"

Not a big thing but a good ambience is allways good,oh well :(

The previews are allways good,let's see if the game is good as it seams,thanks for the info ;)

I really wish they would just do a full on Allstar weekend, if they did this even though its already going to be great this year it would make my player that much better to be able to enter them into the dunk contest or even the three point contest, I am sure they will do this eventually but would really like to have this.

Let's see how they "Cleaned up" Blacktop. :shifty: :eh:

training camp mode

so it means that they replaced the practice mode, its quite good though
but in the blacktop mode i hope they had a rules there rather than hardfouling your opponent to death

Sounds good all around.

Things like shooting a full court shot will not count against you. Lots of things cleaned up for teammate ratings. Lots of scratch your head plays that lowered your rating last year, were cleaned up.


A couple of other previews have mentioned that so far but it's really good to hear.

I second that.

The gameplay video OS posted would seem to back up that claim. Encouraging to see.

I've been seeing the 34 classic teams number more recently. I can only think of 32, between the 15 Legends games (30 teams), the Run TMC Warriors and Chris Webber's Kings. What are the two I've missed?

Some NBA's Greatest games double up with teams from the same year, so there aren't actually 30 NBA's Greatest teams. Those teams plus the Run-TMC Warriors and 2002 Kings plus a few bonus teams from the Jordan Challenge last year make up the 34 teams. Full roster listings can be found here in our Wiki.
