There are new animations which are nice, although some of the dunks still look the same, especially the alley-oop.. It seems you can now split double teams.. The graphics are pretty good, they fixed the lighting effects on players but the models are pretty much the same

I sure hope not, it looks the same an the dunk animations look shit!

I like the fact that it's possible to split the double team.

Is it me or does the players head looks too big for their body?

Yeh, Gambit, the spliting of the double is awesome but hopefully wont be able to overuse it....

Yea, maybe if the offensive awareness rating had something to do with splitting double teams, but I'd think that the Double Team Effectiveness rating would have something to do with it... If not.. I have a feeling there would be a lot of frustrated posts saying "WTF!!!!!!!!!!1!!11!! THE COMPUTER JUST f**** SPLITS ALL THE DOUBLE TEAMS!!!!????"
Maybe guys like T Mac, LBJ, Kobe, Wade etc. if they have high offensive awareness, they can split double teams better than guys such as... say...Scalabrine.

The lighting looks much better as well...

Agreed, that would be a really nice feature, so long as it remained possible to defend top players with a double team and as it should be with everything else in the gameplay, the user can do whatever the CPU can. Both the human user and the CPU would be able to effectively use double teams and effectively split double teams in the right situation.

The players really looked weird lol

Isn't MM the same Live, just with different players, teams and dynasty/season stuff ?

[T-Comm55]

I really hope not, the players look bad. The head is too big for their body but other than that its fine.

Nope, pretty much different gameplay too. Some things are the same, like the dunks, but there's alot of different stuff. For instance when you take a TO, you have 30 seconds. In those 30 seconds you can set up a play (offensively or defensively) make substitutions, etc. The presentation is better imo too.
