In that screengrab of fileplanet you'll notice that the IE progress bar at the bottom is still going. the site pings the file servers to get the right numbers for people in line, wait times, etc,., and this sometimes takes longer than the rest of the page to load. Be patient.


Thanks man, it isnt working fo rme cause I browse using opera

After the first hour I will be going insane if I have to watch another lame cutscene. It doesn't add much to the game, cutscenes never do. Maybe If I can participate in the training, I can see who is dogging it and it's more than a reflection of basic ratings then I might like it. Otherwise..... :roll:

The fadeway jumper looked nice.

Vince Carter MVP.... :lol:

I will be quite dissappointed but not surprised if EA devoted too much time to this garbage rather than the gameplay.

Nevertheless I am still optomistic about this game.

I'm lovin' the way players move about. From the fade-away jumpshot to the boxing out of rebounders, it looks awesome.

Damn, that video was awesome. Eventually some of those cutscenes will get old, though. Another thing, the last screen says "Rosters Accurate as of September 12, 2003" if that wasn't pointed out earlier.

Glad you enjoyed the video guys. :)

I was very impressed when I saw that. The animation looks very fluid, very realistic. (Y)

That much is true, the cut scenes don't really add anything to the gameplay, but they could add something to the ambiance of the game, the mood of the game changes. I just wander how many of these cut scenes there are in the game and related to what things.

I would have liked to see a deeper dynasty mode instead of some "watch a couple of times" cut scenes. But we'll just have to wait and see... 19 days to go... Plus the time it gets here :cry:

I'm afraid that the cutscenes, even if they look great, may be quickly repetitive... But I'm glad to see it's cutscenes, not stupid videos :)

Hopefully those cut-scenes will only be shown before or after a season.

We all know MVP, Coach and Rookie of the Year and NBA Draft cut-scenes will only be shown after a regular season.

As for the cut-scenes with new players coming in, players retiring, I hope too that they're played before or after a season. It'll eventually get annoying if your a guy who likes to make trades and signings every 2 games.

Of course it'd be nice if they could update the roster just a lil closer to the release date.

If it's anything like past Lives, significant trades will probably be included, but if a player isn't already in the game by the cut-off date, he won't be in the game.

Well for the people who aren't impressed with the cutscenes look at it this way. Instead of traditionally making a trade and looking at name on a screen you actually see the player going in the locker room and greeting the best players on the team. This is a nice touch unless you like just looking at names.

Also I'd rather see a man go up and get his award at a press conference than look at a picture of his face and a pic of the awards. However hopefully we will be apble to view his stats after the award is presented, or that would be a major mistake if they dont include that season stat for the player.

I just hope you're not forced to train your team in order to compete.

Why don't you wanna train your players? In real life if a team doesn't train and everyone becomes out of shape they WONT compete...Unless they are competing for worst record.

With those award-winner cutscene, do you think they would have improved the selection of 6th man of the Year and Most improved player? (Just a minor thing, but worth a think-about)
