I already have this game pre-ordered, so it's a Day-1 purchase for me...hands-down.
My
only gripe after watching/listening to all of the gameplay vids is the
SOUND interaction between the ball, rim, & net.
It seems
every time there is a made-basket, there is a swooooosh as if the ball was launched from 3-pt range and hit nothing but net. Also, when the ball hits the rim, it seems to sound like a rock hitting an oil-barrell of some sorts...it's just off.
They have
definitely improved on the crowd sounds & player/court sounds, but they REALLY have
not perfected the ball-to-rim-to-net sounds that you hear when you are watching a live NBA broadcast on television OR in-person...
A
small gripe from myself for what deems to be
another AWESOME installment for 2K, but I am in hopes a DEV sees this and does a little HD-sound work for next years installment...hoping I'm not the only one who loves the authenticity to be as close to RL as possible.
