This sounds like it might be of NBA Street 2 quality. Won't get too hyped yet but there's hope. The intro vid is different than the Dwight vid right? Is it another Mos Def voice over or is it one of his songs?

the power up thing is only for when ur in triple threat position and you are sizing up your man.

Re: New ESPN article

Because RT is now the size-up button. Maybe they moved it elsewhere, but I'd LOVE if they got rid of the "turbo" mechanic, which has no place in a basketball game IMO. There needs to be a way to differentiate speedy players from slow guys (and yes, to allow for short bursts of speed), but letting people hold a button to run faster is a very dated mechanic and I would love if they came up with a better way to handle it.

EDIT: Ahh, didn't see that it was a triple-threat only thing... they probably kept the turbo/sprint button. I hope they make it harder to just lay on the RT with no consequences though... should tire people out to "sprint" constantly.

Re: New ESPN article

The size up should make those clutch moments pretty tense when you have to guard a superstar in a close game

I'm dissapointed they took out the practice gym but I love the Nash pic.

Re: New ESPN article

Loved how Sean consistently stressed control, control, control, and he stressed not being interested in pretty animations that take our control away. The shoes, custom arena sounds and everything else are nice too, but glad that he knows gameplay is the factor that will decide this thing.

I will still be VERY skeptical, as I imagine most of you are as well, until I see this game in motion. EA has given a similar interview EVERY year the past four years, so not convinced yet.

Note: if the players still dribble like And 1 Mixtape superstars, it's a wrap, so that's the first thing I'm looking at.

Re: New ESPN article

This is a good read, I hope that they can actully deliver on these points? if they can its good for all of us.
We need both EA and 2k to deliver game thats are better then last years versions.

They strapped it all together? or just on the loading screen?

Yeah I liked the practice gym too... maybe the hanger will be nice though

what Live is doing (im pretty sure) is if youre in the triple threat position and you pull RT instead of holding it then you will size your man up. Turbo will still be because you have to be able to change speed. College hoops 2k had this and it was awesome.

Re: New ESPN article

yeah too bad the gym was being taken out, I liked that shooting around with bosh or marion.

We kept it for Dynasty Mode.

Re: New ESPN article

Sounds like they stole that from that Nike ad a while back with Just Blaze beat

Was part of the inspiration, yes.
