ALL STAR SIM 8 mins for me..
I played about 8 games. 3 of which are against the computer.
Against the lakers, bulls, and 92 Dream Team. Boy oh boy, the stars do play like stars, Kobe went all blackmomba on me. Kobe was using pump fakes, hesitations, and post moves to exert his dominance on the game. Kobe, called for the ball visibly when he was open also while in the post with the smaller Brandon Roy on him.
D Rose was just as lethal, but in a different way. Used his speed, and explosive moves to light me up for 24 points and 8 assists. I had a hard time getting in front of him, so when bringing the extra defender he dished the ball off, or just pulled up.
The 92 Dream Team was a treat to watch. Larry Legend was the main scorer, it seem like if you gave him 3-4 inches, he will drill the shot. He was slow, did not have many moves, but he would bump me and make a few inches to pull the shot. Jordan was skying to the rim with acrobatic moves and smooth lay ins. David Robinson was able to body the smaller Chandler, and it was really no contest.
Now - on to the negatives... Let me preface this... This is the most complete basketball game, i've played. Maybe even sports games.
- Offensive Rebounds needs to be fixed. It's frustrating boxing out just to have a guard or someone swoop in and grab the board 11 ft high in the air.
- Hop step. I found that being a "go to move" for a lot of users (including myself).
- Maybe this is just me, but there were times were I beat my man off the dribble or caught a rebound and wanted to take off. However, he was pretty slow in doing so. Other times it worked, maybe its user error.. who knows..
- Minor clipping still, going through the back board bothers me still. (nit picking i know)
- No long rebounds, All rebounds land within 5 feet off the hoop it seems. I would like to see a shot off the back of the iron fly off the rim towards the free throw line or the 3 points line.
I know i have a lot of negatives, however - i'm nit picking on a lot. Its an awesome game, and I cannot wait until I pick this up for the PC version as well.
