That might be the case but for a successor to a game which was horrible at contact and reproducing realistic # of fouls with their default online settings, I need to see proof that guys can actually get into foul trouble this year - out of the box. All this new contact means nothing if no fouls are being called.

I remember that they commented on a previous video that they toned down fouls because TOO MANY fouls were being called. I found it hard to believe then and even harder to believe now.

In fairness, how many times did the user try to drive to the hole without pulling up?

That's one foul type. Shooting foul, reaching foul, blocking foul, charging foul, loose ball foul, over the back foul, illegal screen/pick... simulation basketball requires all of the above to be called at a realistic frequency.

I'm sure most of the sim-crowd wants at least a few of the above to be called more often and would understand if 1-2 of the above foul types were rarely called to keep the "fun factor". It's not going to be good, however, if we're seeing none of the above called at a decent rate.

It's early footage though so that's something that should be easily tunable via sliders before/after release. Not a big deal YET.

why is the crowd SO hype all the time....they need to tone that down a bit

The thing that gave me a boner was Kobe's animations in the triple threat.

Looked JUST like him... the loose feet, dropped shoulders, the way he shields the ball...

damn, I need some tissues...

It might just be me but year after year the "swish" animation of the net looks weird - the ball appears to come out of the back of the net sometimes...bugs me for some reason...
