- The faces look great....minus Kyrie. Unless it's just a poor facial animation, he took a step back this year.

- The defensive skill-based counter & all-new Post System sound good/interesting, but want to see it in motion and more details first.

- I wish EA SPORTS had released the mini-trailer on their own versus it being buried in YouTube videos. Having these videos without something directly from EA first sort doesn't make a game announcement or info seem completely legit IMO.

Looks like I'll be able to go to EA Play this year! I'll definitely give whatever impressions I can after that event concludes.
