    I'm not really sure what to think. Sure some things might be better, but it looks pretty much like last year.

    It's like all they did was add Living Rosters with the updated animations to last years game.

    I'll buy this game because I'm an NBA junkie, but I'm not impressed from what I've seen.

      Best video by far.

      Lots of nice new animations.

      Defense looks much better than before.

      45 seems like the best speed so far.

          This video was straight butter, and did the game justice. I anticipate so many "little things" threads in the months to come with this game; what with the shot stick 2.0 and the ability to alter shots mid-shot and increased CPU AI motion and movement, we are in for quite a treat.

            I dont know, maybe its just me but I didn't hear the reverb and the songs were pretty generic to me but Ill go back and listen again. I do like the speed at 45 the best, it gives a good balance between moves done on iso and break aways... that Tony Parker break away was perfect in its speed.

              I have a question for people who say "something is the same as last year" ummm...you ever heard of the saying "if it isnt broke dont fix it?" example...madden remember when madden 2005 was the best one ever??? then they went to next gen and took out everything that made madden good? and to this day you still hear people say maybe next year with madden cause they messed up what wasnt broken in the first place.

                Great video Steve and thanks for taking the time.


                I remember someone was saying earlier that you couldn't shoot off the dribble, I am glad to see that that is not true. That was a beautiful looking animation by Alston at the 3:32 mark of the game clock.

                And oh my God, they played Mystikal (or a variation of "Here I Go") at around the 2:44 mark of the gameclock. That's tight!

                Seeing Artest playing ball denial was nice, even if it was on Bowen. This will be nice putting top defensive players on top offensive ones.

                The crowd and atmosphere is just sick.

                    Try this if you have the time....if you have 2k8 try to just play your custom soundtracks like normal while you play the game then lisen to this video and you will notice the difference between reverb and no reverb.

                      T-Mac looks dead on, they got his movement and his shooting down really well.

                      I cannot wait to use the Rockets! I mean I'm a Lakers first but come on how can you pass up a starting 5 of:

                      PG: T-Mac
                      SG: Battier
                      SF: Artest
                      PF: Scola
                      C: Yao

                      When someone uses Lakers, I'll counter that with Rockets and vice versa.
                      NO! I will not change this until Lakers get to Western Conference Finals!!! Friday, Oct 13, 2006 (It is raining hard) 8:14pm 30sec (Check)

                      NO! I will not change this Until Lakers Are 2008-2009 Champs! Friday, Oct 3, 2008

                        No it didn't!

                            yeah, lol. I try my best, but there is lag when I capture... I hit em' when I'm playin.. just harder to judge things w/ the lagging capture hardware is all.

                                I think that was in reference to pull up jumpers. You still have to take the extra step like in 2k8.
