I guess in the old sense of the word, it is an arcade style game.
But to me, it is pretty similar to the modern game of basketball. Lots of threes, not a lot of defence on the ball, lots of iso and pick and rolls.
And regardless, it is extremely fun. The players control as well as any game I’ve played, great weight and fluid movement and it’s fun to both shoot and drive.
And miraculously, EA has finally listened and removed almost all of the weird ‘Live’ animations.
Great game.
Just hope they add the normal maps and lighting to the players...
