Open your eyes, son!

Yeah, the Italian press probably figured they were immune to that prohibition and rolled with it haha.. Hearing that same mid-range jumper line from Kellogg was really bad, but at least we have assurances that it'll be better in the final build. It makes sense that a lot of the dialog recording would come later in the process simply due to off-season moves (so they can talk about Baron/Camby to Clips, etc.) and stuff like that.

Looks solid enough -- nothing impressive really. It's an early build and I trust Simballer that we'll be in for a great game in October.

Game looked pretty good, player movement looked alot more natural. Commentary IS SOOOOOO OUTDATED. So scripted, not natural at all. I don't like having to cut the commentary off because it takes away the experience for me (since I dont ever cut it off when I watch a real game).

I hope that at the very least they fix the crowd sounds so they cheer at the right times. The crowd was silent during the alley oop.

I believe they prohibited all media outlets from doing anything. That's why I feel this tape was "leaked."

And it doesn't accurately portray the game with what you saw. Much was left out in that build... I'm guessing.

Y'all are tough critics!

I just watched the video and thought it looked better than last year's version. As for the crowd audio, outside the lack of cheering for Garnett's dunk at the end of the quarter, I thought it was loud and boisterous. Just listen to how "quiet" it got after some big shots by the Lakers; those fans were screaming their heads off from the get go.

I know I shouldn't look at any of these early clips, but I'm too weak to resist. It should be against the law to show any sports vids on Default level settings are lower. Leak a WIP clip with the A.I. dumbed down, 30 lashes for you.

The one good think about seeing this early clip is that is caused a mini meltdown and got SimBaller to come out of the basement and drop a little info on us.

Things may change as more information comes out, and vids of the complete build are shown about 6 weeks from now, but at this moment even if you're too busy for two games, or don't want to pony up the cash, I don't see how any true basketball junkie is going to be able to resist buying at least two NBA games.

Kenny's commentary script shouldn't even be in the game anymore.
This game needs some serious ad libs and fresh commentary altogether, not a repeat of lines.
