But I'm more than happy to.

I'll be up for at least another hour I think.

Almost as if it's missing several frames and just snaps right into the ending portion of the animation.

Another problem that has plagued Live/Elite for a while now is the seemingly lack of body weight on the players. It's prevalent again this year and I don't like it. Also the shot animations are ugly especially if you're close to the basket.

On a positive note, the crowd noise is top notch and the atmosphere is solid as well. Unfortunately where it matters most (gameplay) this game falls way below "Elite" status, IMO. Not a purchase for me.

The controls just don't work. It might sound good on paper but it just doesn't work in motion. Imo.

Here's a question, why would I cross to my right while moving to my left, exposing the ball to a defense that has no interest but to glue themselves to me (glue, as in no matter what I do, the defense is actually stuck to the player i'm controlling without a defensive stance, but just there, for no apparent reason) and not take a swipe?

Whoever wrote, basketball isn't hockey, was right on the money. I apologize to the devs in here, but i'm just being honest. This is... whatever.

If you don't mind starting with those. I am not trying to be rude, I would just like your opinion on these thoughts that the entire community seem to be feeling. I know that you might be gutted, but I would like to know what you are thinking.
