Ok, so the game is getting a ton of positive feedback on here, almost universally so, and that's why I ask if anybody is like me and is worried it's going to disappoint.
The animations, fluidity, tempo, etc are all amazing, but based on the demo there are some concerns...
1. Everybody in the game is a sharpshooter. If somebody gets open, it goes in. The percentages for both teams have been insanely high in almost every game.
2. Piggybacking on that, the defensive abilities just aren't there. I have been able to shut down Lebron or Wade on multiple occasions, but somebody else always steps up because the AI will make a mistake. For example, if I want to take away Lebron's jumpshot and force him into a bigger defender if he drives, I've got to control both the guy guarding Lebron and the player I force him into because I can't count on the AI to help correctly in either situation.
3. Passing seems to have some quirks this year as well. The things I've seen Jason Kidd do so far are just confusing. No more threading the needle, and there have been several occasions where he has messed up simple passes by either throwing them directly to an opponent or throwing them out of reach and guys go out of bounds. Remember that these are examples of Jason Kidd!!
I don't know, these are a few of my complaints, but I'm really worried that this years game is going to feel unplayable after awhile with changes made to the offense. I don't even want to know how frustrating it's going to be to be trying to play defense at the end of a close game set at 12 minute quarters lol. The real problem is that the improvements are good enough to make me not want to go back to 2k11 either!
