My analysis:
Firstly, a big one, their is not enough penetration, or drive and dish by the computer in the halfcourt . Actually I don't think I saw any drive and dish [wait I did, once my Marbury in the beginning of the NY vs Pacers vid], and when they did penetrate, they stopped and pulled up, their was hardly any FT attempts because the comp does not drive. I hope those global tendency sliders work well this year because the comp just shoots jumpers all day with perimeter guys.
Secondly, while that leaning fingeroll is nice, the players do it way too much, and from very weird distances from the rim. I like the layup, but I saw Joe Johnson do it twice, once from like 7 feet, Drew Gooden, Wade, Rip, Marion, Tinsley I mean geez, I don't see people doing that too often
The blocks are a little out of hand, David Wesley? Rip Hamilton blocking Shaq, and then Antoine Walker getting high and rejecting 2 shots in a row, mmmm we'll have to turn them down to 0 again this year.
The passing is still a little jacked, their's still the animation where a players hand goes one way, and the ball the other. Their's also way too many turnovers, the comp did this last year too.
Next, big men still move and run too fast, an example is Ilguaskas on the break, and they also still have too good handles. Ilguaskas cannot dribble the ball full-court like that. Bosh who has decent handles for a big struggles to do that, but only guys that can are KG, Amare, Odom, Nene, etc...can.
Another thing is that their's still alley-oops where the reciever doesn't even look at the passer, he just goes up and catches the ball behind his head. Nash to JJ.
With the spin move, they just kinda go into the defender, and their's no collision. They're basically spinning into them, and really they'd get called for a charge, or get stripped or something.
Now for the good:
The presentation was very nice, very, very nice. Their were a lot of new additions, and I like the new replay thing. Really though, I loved it, the crowd was great too, when players were shooting FT's an everything.
I saw some dunks that did look nice, though the players still don't curl their fingers after dunking, it looks odd lol, their hands are just straight.
The off ball movement is good, but I'd like more contact when using screens, and more contact overall. They need to do the 10 man mo cap thing EA did.
Catch and shoot also looks good, and I saw Jamal Crawford do this very nice one handed pump fake. The game looks like it can be good with some slider editing
