The demo is freaking amazing! I'm getting it on both PC & XBOX360 now!
However, a couple things do irritate me because they've happened multiple times.
1. When Paul Pierce catches the ball at the corner 3, he ALWAYS pump fakes and drives to the right free-throw-line extended spot before fading backwards towards the 3pt line. It doesn't matter that Garnett and Gasol are right next to him. If he doesn't do that, he makes a pass, but it is ALWAYS from the same spot (right top corner of free throw line).
2. Ray Allen drives to the rim on fast breaks rather than jacking up a quick 3 despite the fact that there are 2-3 guys waiting for him inside. In real-life, he'd notice the impossibility of having a great shot available inside and jack up the 3.
3. Pau Gasol jumps about 13 feet in the air on rebounds. I mean, he just TOWERS over the basket (quite easily no less) to grab everything insight. I felt like I was cheesing despite the fact that I couldn't do anything about it. Also, on his post moves backing Garnett in, everytime a shot was taken where he leaned into the basket (think how an up-n-under looks) and Garnett was gone. I couldn't see an arm, head, nothing. What SHOULD happen is some kind of foul or somebody falling should occur.
4. The computer does the same thing everytime when the ball is received 5-feet past the low block. Turns and faces hoop, than a shot. No dribble, no hesitation...that's disappointing because a guy like O'Neal might do that, but Garnett takes a dribble and step-back. Worst of all is Glen Davis...he can't shoot over most 6-4 guys with his gator arms, let alone over Gasol or Bynum.
Other than that, the game is perfect for me. If they tighten up those small irritations, the game is 10/10 for me.
