[Pared]

The greatest thing about this game since sliced bread is it will net you realistic stats, while playing, with 12 minute quarters. I noticed, however, PIP is a stat that is missing?

The biggest thing that bothers me about the game are the leftover rebounding and blocking animations from last year. The offense (dribbling in particular) and off ball movement are SO SPECTACULAR that all the defensive animations look very out of place.

Contesting a shot while the player is shooting is still broken.

The menu's, overlays, presentation are very well done! But the commentary, believe it or not, seems stale now. Never thought I'd say that.

Players have a lot more "weight" to them offensively this year, but defensively, it can still be better. It's better than the demo, I can actually body up on people, but there are times when players don't brush off against each other.

I LOVE the fact you can pick the crowd audio style..

The signature shots are EXTREMELY well done.

Post game feels the same as last year.

DNA is much more thorough this year - VERY IMPRESSIVE. It even tracks your player's tendencies while playing. I'd like to see this expanded and saved in your profile.

Will post more... just shooting off the hip right now. Certainly enjoying the game this year.
