I was able to record a ranked online game against a random opponent. He had the Sacramento Kings against my Golden State Warriors. Once again the experience had absolutely no lag or frame rate issues. Gameplay wise you'll see it is a little more open going up against another user. He ended up getting hot from the outside in the 2nd half and I didn't do much to adjust to it. However I came at him with the Warriors up-tempo style throughout. Who ended up with the victory?

This game has the Charlotte Bobcats visiting the Atlanta Hawks on All-Star difficulty. In this one I took over controlling the road team. Where some games have been dominated by the point guard, this one was not. Speedy Claxton did have 12 points but only attempted seven shots. It was Joe Johnson who carried the scoring load for the Hawks. Continue on to view the videos as broken down by quarter. (more…)...

This game features the Chicago Bulls vs LA Lakers on All-Star difficulty. Watch to see how Kobe Bryant compares to other players seen in the videos. Can he dominate in the game like he does in real life? Current plan is to post a Charlotte @ Atlanta on Sunday, and Golden State @ Phoenix on Monday. I'll also try to record an online game to compare head-to-head to the ones I've played against the CPU. Continue to view the videos broken down by quarter. (more…)...

This game features the Miami Heat facing off against the new look Boston Celtics and is played on All-Star difficulty. A couple notes: I've seen comments in different places about the aggressiveness of point guards and that is true to a certain extent. You'll need to play good defense on them otherwise they'll drive the lane or pull up on you. However there is a big difference depending on who the PG is. Face Jason Kidd and he'll terrorize you when you're controlling Earl Boykins (trus...

Here is another full game broken down by quarter. In this FIBA matchup Germany faces off against the United States. This one is played on All-Star difficulty and to me is by far better than the two games I have posted previously. I made sure to do a few go-to moves in there as well. Of note, these are the default FIBA rosters. EA has stated they will release roster updates which will include adding Kobe Bryant to the US roster around the release date. This will probably be the last sig...

Here is the video I put together displaying the Go-To Moves of many players from the practice gym. After finishing it up I realized how dark the gym is so it may be difficult to make out the player. At the very least you should be able to get an idea of their moves through the video that plays in the upper right corner (for some reason no video plays for Steve Nash or Allen Iverson). Included are 24 different players: Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Steve...
