I always love having another game on the market for competetion's sake, but it's been so long since Tiburon has wowed me — little to no attention to detail, no follow through and I'm pretty sure none of them have really been on the surface of a sports venue (court, field etc.) — that I'm not holding my breath on a good release.

Inside information?

I stopped playing Football video games because of EA and it's horrible efforts. It is funny that competition and competition alone made them take a step back to try and take a step forward in basketball. It also shows IMO they don't care if it is a true AAA effort that they put out with football as long as the get the AAA dollars that exclusives allow them. I will check out this game and I think it has a market and niche regardless. Some people are more in love with online play no matter how the game actually plays. I am happy to see everyone get there wish. You can simply buy both games or by the one that fits more of your needs, but IMO there is no competition, just chooses. Good to have chooses.

I am hoping for a great looking descent playing game with all shoes and accessories and some kind of new tech that advances the genre' that plus great online experience and they should have a good first year for a game with their poor reputation this generation.

Let me just say NBA Live 10 was a GREAT game. I mean, why on Earth did 2K not have FIBA teams?

Don't have high hopes since NBA Live has sucked for the last decade.

Just the fact that 2k allows you almost unilateral freedom to edit and affect your association/franchise as you see fit (as they should).

EA typically has a VERY "conservative" attitude about allowing editing freedom in their games (Madden won't allow contract, age, height, weight edits) which makes me very skeptical.
