One last question lol. Are you telling me they have signature pull-ups!?

You said no Combine so the College All-Star game is the only time you get to display on court skills? Are playing in the College All-Star game and your GM interviews what decided you being drafted, or are there like drills and scrimmages to test your mettle?

Thanks for sharing your impressions Aaron.
I've heard alot of great things regarding gameplay improvments,as well as presentation upgrades.
The one thing nobody's touched upon yet is audio improvments.
Would you care to elaborate on the audio side of things, such as better crowd responses, more arena specific sounds .ect.....

Once again thanks for doing this.

Much better but I'll be honest I didn't have a huge problem with last yr.'s game. The momentum does make you feel more in control of your player this yr.

Did not try enough dribble moves to actually test this out.

Arena specific sounds are still in and there are a few more (for example the MSG sounds). The crowd sounds are the same as last year. No real improvements there.

In the time that you played, did you feel that live ball physics made an impact on the game?

Is the lead pass similar to last year?
