Good but gameplay and presentation needs work
I am a big fan of bball games and the most important thing to me is realism. So when I see Dirk averaging ten blocks a game i think something is wrong. The company worked wonders with the All Star Weekend but forgot about the gameplay. Like I said before the blocking is riduclous i agree that not everyone should be able to dunk on eveyone but sometimes you get lucky. You donot have to block it all the time, sometimes there is contact and sometimes the player just misses the dunks so you can mix it up a lot. It will also be nicer if the dunkactions were a little bi nastier. Another thing that ESPN has is smarter A.I. on offense. Never in the game do you see a person cut to the basket or set a off the ball pick so a player can get open and that is the fundamentals of the game that you need to have. The players need to be smarter in fastbreaks esp. when they have numbers. In addition, the passing is horrible, it takes too long to get a pass and it is a little too easy to steal. Also, in the game it is kind of obvious that you try to make games close, like when you are winning by twenty and all of a sudden your oppenent is busting 4 threes in a row and you cant even score. Also, what ESPN has over yall is the presentation, yall presntation is very, very weak, there is no emotion or hustle at all in the game and like i said i like realism. When a player hits a last second shot i would like to see him emotional, a player getting a tech, the bench rowdy, and the crowd into it. Yalls presentation before the game starts, is always the same, the key player is shooting a three (even if it is a center) and the bench takes a seat. Mix it up a bit is my suggestion, don't always have the same outcome before the game and after the game and have some unique matchups if Vince is playing against his cousin it will be cool to bring that up and compare stats.
