People have been writing off games prior to release all 8 years i've been on OS only to buy or try the game anyway.

That's the thing. People writing it off because of *this* video under these circumstances and conditions and settings with those users playing that style, probably had no interest in giving it a fair shot anyway.

I'm trying to determine what I liked and not liked from the video, but most of the things that bothered me are hard to give too much weight because they seemed more User oriented, know what I mean?

It's like judging a sports car before driving it because you saw your 50 year old uncle grind the gears going around the parking lot

That was him that was trying to trash talk because you paused it huh?
That guy man.. just wow

Anyhow we're not trying to be negative as much as telling you what some of you guys will feel when you first play

Some people will like it, because its more free flow than 10, and some wont at all.

Id rather get all the vids out but its too easy to run and gun remember that so take your time even if tempted not too

Guys I wouldn't give up on this game just yet. As 23 and everyone else that played said no one even really knew how to play so it ended up just being a full court mess. I'm sure these kind of events are fun and all at but isn't meant to be a sim experience, I don't care what game you are playing. Also who knows what difficulty setting it was on. I guess we will just wait and see with the demo.

CS10029- You're right, but it doesn't matter. The only rebuttal that'll sway people will be 5v5 from EA and maybe a trailer.

Jano, good looks on picking the Bullets. That one layup that turns into a switch hands sort of thing looked like an instance where you would want to go straight up and the game did an auto adjustment. I wonder if in those situations, you pressed up on the RS or rolled from the left or right up. Ever since I read those controls, I could see the potential issue of people inputting the dunk control (up) when really wanting the layup (roll).

Still, bring on more videos 23!

Fact, both games have videos with users that didnt know the controls... and 1 of these 2 vids are just brutal to look at, so Im not buying that excuse.

Could've sworn dude who played with the Lakers knew because you didnt get to see him

That was ridiculous, and some of those dunks were WAAY over the top though. That has nothing to do with user control or knowledge. The kids were killing it man. I dont know which vid is which but ill try to find em

i've said that and jano as well. Learning curve aside tho, there are some really strange things that are going on during the game regardless of how bad I play it.
