Here is my two cents after playing 2 games.

I played on All-Conference, 2nd highest level.(I think that is what it's called)

Here is what I enjoyed:

Graphics- very nice. Courts, crowd, signs, practice area, presentation etc....
Tempo, Coaches Input- Nicely done.
Gameplay- This looks pretty good as well. I just need to learn the controls better.

What I didn't enjoy:

Collision Detection- Wow, 1st game, PG CPU came over the mid court line and the user PG lined up to start guarding the CPU PG. One little bump cause the CPU PG to go back over the mid court line and called for over and back. Almost a game stopper for me right there.

Also, second game, CPU SF dribbled out of bounds on the end line.

Every pass seemed like a perfect pass from CPU, user passes could be stolen by CPU.

It appeared that there were high shooting percentages on both teams.

I'm hoping some of these can be rectified with sliders with the game. I'll sit on the sidelines and wait for the reviews to come in before purchasing.

I might purchase if it seems favorable. Not a bad, effort at all.
