IS The Sim Back In or Is it NBA Jam Again?

I've been playing NBA Live since the 1995 Version.
I was very dissapointed and frustrated with the total lack of realism and simulation in the 2003 version! This was worse because of waiting for two years for a PC Version.

I won't buy the 2004 version until I get to play a demo.
Hopefully it will play somewhat like a real basketbal game, on planet earth, unlike last year.

NBA Live has always been my favorite game, over the years, but last year I felt like they sold out to the game consoles and to the kids.

I really hope it has become a simulation again.

All signs point to a much more realistic game, but if you're unsure, probably best to wait for the demo.

Yes, I really hope that the sim aspect of the game is back.

What I really hope for is realistic gameplay, where everyone is not having a run and dunk fest. I hope they get rid of those very childish and repetitive animations or at least give you a way to completely turn them off.

Thanks for the encouraging feedback

No problem MCalca. Have you read any of the previews or seen any of the videos/screenshots yet? There's certainly reason for optimism.

Thanks.
Yes, I've been reading previews, and I will continue to do so, but I won't buy until I'm sure it's not like 2003 and I play a demo.
EA has lost my trust and I don't want to build up my hopes up again.
