Saw it skipping some parts, and it was hilarious.

Do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing. It's down right awesome.

Nope, can't watch mumblers on a mic playing the game, loving the JayZ music, etc.

i like it!! made me laugh couple of times.. very good commentary except for them sometimes insulting the game

Yeah, you can obviously see their perspective is from a gamers point of view and not basketball fans who plays video games. However, they were pretty sharp at pointing out little things like double animations, no balls, and cheerleaders clipping through the camera view. Not to mention the bug with the music disappearing.

I think they showed that the game does have pick up and play value, even if you don't take time to learn all the controls.

Yes, it's worth noting that Jeff knows basically nothing about sports but does love the NBA Jam/NFL Blitz/NBA Street/etc. type games. And Vinny is mostly along for the ride.

They've been doing these with Madden, NHL, etc. and all of them are just as hilarious.

And it has some reward as noted regarding just how a casual fan can get into the game. They knew about the shot stick in the past as part of the series, but figured out you can just hit X to shoot and started to have more fun.

Plus you can tell when Jeff figures out how to exploit the AI.
