I'm having fun with this but I'm not a fan of the shooting and finishing. It feels way too easy to make jumpers and finish layups/dunks, and that is with low rated created guys with barely any upgrades.

This weakass demo is stuck at 19%, so all I can do is play this one game with a horrible camera view. Argh.

Just a guess, as I just started a remote download on it but:

Try turning off your PS4 for about 30 min and let it download in the background. If it doesn't go up from 19% then you might delete and start over.

Lebron was dunking on me every time but I adjusted and my defence shut him down in the second half. I can't wait till this demo finishes installing, really wanna hop on pro-am. Having a blast with 16 thus far.

The demo is downloading but it did let me play Thunder vs Cavs...

And I wasn't impressed at all. The graphics are nice but the player models are way off. I mean Durant looks more buff than lebron in this game. Also the movement is stiff and unnatural . Saw a lot of quirkiness. I do like the look of the menus and ESPN presentation.

Hopefully pro am will save face for this game for me

Am I bugging or is there no way to put your hands straight up in the air to defend?

To raise your hands, hold up on the Right stick. You have to be stationairy. So get up in their space, and raise the hands.

For slow downloads, try this:

I was at 4 hours left, and I changed it, and it's now 73 minutes left. I used the google addresses.

I've been able to do it with no problem. Could be retail copies only???

Overall very enjoyable experience but has some glaring issues that I hope they patch. I have to give kudos, EA gave us a nicely loaded demo. 6 teams to choose from, adjustable quarters, ability to adjust sliders, coaching options etc. Thank you. Best demo they've ever done IMO.

Ok, now the game. I like the graphics, fantastic player models and most look just as good as the competition IMO. I like the overall flow and the player movement is very active and convincing. I did notice one glaring issue that really is unacceptable. CPU STILL does not sub out or use any time outs in a full game. I played 9 minute quarters for my first game, Wizards at Clips, and they didn't use one time out the whole time! Come on! . The announces said about 5 times why don't they call a time out? I hope this is fixed! This was a problem in 15 too. But, it's a demo. So Life goes on... On with the game.

Shooting feels better. I still feel like It could be a bit smoother, feels a bit wonky at times and I wish I had more control, especially with the post game. I kinda wish we had to shot types like they used to have with Live, dunk and shoot, and with different combinations, you could do different things. The game just seems to limited to get a different type shot. Although the triangle button is nice for the pro and euro step, I still feel it's a bit too easy to pull off in crunch time. Rebounding feels solid, I also love how the game looks. How the PG's take it up the court looks really really smooth and convincing! Atmosphere is decent ,but nothing mind blowing. I wouldsn't mind some more in depth stat screens periodically popping up onscreen.

Inside the paint, it seems a bit too easy to score. I was shooting 10 of 10 with DeAndre Jordan shooting jump hooks and fadeaways and they all went in. This needs to be toned down.

I do like the new shot meter, although even on harder difficulty, seems like Free throw shooting is STILL too easy. Passing is pretty good, I like that new give and go with the "B" button (XBOX) and I feel that's one of the best new additions how the player takes the ball from behind the other guy, makes for some interesting plays. The play calling takes a bit getting used to, but I really like the ball movement and the AI seems a lot more in tune with what's going on.

Overall, very enjoyable experience, but the "cpu not subbing" needs to be fixed ASAP and I hope EA isn't going to ignore it this year.

Overall, 7.5 out of 10 for the demo.

I'm still waiting on the demo to finish downloading but so far I am loving this game despite a few gripes but I'll take WTF word on that Day one patch. Can't wait to get the Pro-Am started up on this. So far this game might go back to a first day buy for me.
