I see both extreme good and terribly bad sequences in here. @ 1:33 you have a contextual animation where NENE "knows" where he is and knows he has to fadeaway to get a shot off because hes too close to the basket. do we take those moves for granted?? @1:45, theres a CPU HELPSIDE block by NENE. Shaq left his teammate stranded by getting that double team @2:00 you have a Kenyon Martin high pick being set, maybe a false pick because it got amare out of the paint, and that ensued with the melo alley oop. set play??? Even in that sequence, you have shaq coming over and trying to block that alley? @2:16 amare sets a pick for nash. again the cpu doesnt use this. amare gets switched up with anthony carter guarding him. amare is trying to get the ball. the nuggets realize these and before the post pass comes, Martin switches back up. amare still scores.. But in that sequence, you have a steve nash hookshot pass... so steve nash right there. @2:40, cpu shaq is responsive in the paint to the pass coming his way. Nene scores. that REACTIVEness is critical and im seeing a ton of that. @2:50, basic postup iso it seems for Amare. everyone is spaced out to let him do his work @3:05, look at kmart setting a pick for anthony carter in the paint. Nash is responsive to that pick and is slow to recover. kmart eventually gets the ball back. ANother set play no doubt. @3:20 you have raja bell running baseline trying to get open. great movements @3:55, shaq is again responsive on the helpside/doubleteam block as melo drives and shoots.. BLOCK! THAT defense leads to the first fastbreak of the game for the suns.. ran flawlessly @4:15, kmart runs to the basket when AI pulls up on that jumper. The shot, which we take for granted with 2k, doesnt just swish in. The shot is short, the commentators note that, and it bounces in. @4:20, the one bad note of the night. shaq and amare playing catch... @4:30, melo is spinning and "freestyling"lol his way trying to get something. then passes out to the open AI right behind him creating that "screen" with his body. That ensuses with phx quick outlet passes. no fastbreak pts though. they bring it back out and reset. Nash eventually gets the ball back in his hands. @4:50 was that a shaq iso post play?? everyone standing around letting shaq and his one opponent going at it. shaq dunk. AMare doesnt leave the paint and is close to the defensive 3 seconds. but hes far enough away to not being able to help guard shaq. @5:03, probably my favorite set play.. NENE sets a screen for Carter .. Carter gets the pass. AMare tries to go for the steal. leaving Kmart open for the jumper. THEY MAKE IT.. fast acting effective AI. @5:18 hill and amare pick and ROLL. a pick and roll that actually gets passed to the picker.. the shot goes up and rolls around a bit. soft touch. goes in. @6:05, you have nash and amare doing alittle two man game. Amre gets caught under the basket and has to fadeaway. Martin who was originially switched on who he was guarding, comes in with the helpside and gets some ball it appears. block. Ill be enjoying the hhhhhhhhhell out of this game. what will you guys be doing?? CZAR, you can make a feature lengh movie with all the stuff ive seen.

wow great analysis. thanks a lot.
