Ron Harper, Shaq, Sam Cassel, they all look pretty similar to me. Not only do their heads look the same, their postures are all alike. It looks as if the team took a cross-country bus trip to the game, and they have yet to fully stretch out. Supposedly the game moves along at 60 fps, but it s hard to tell with the herky-jerky way the players are animated. When things get crowded in the half-court offense, it s near impossible to discern what is going on in the paint.
Bodies are everywhere, running through each other, jumping from one place to another.
Another example that 989 didn t get the memo on play testing their games, is the camera work. One of the game designers decided that a typical camera was not suited to show off their handiwork, so they went in a new direction. Worthless Cam is what I presume that it s called, but I didn t find anything in the press release touting this feature, so we ll just assume that s what it is called. The only thing this view does is show you what your center is doing down on the other end of the floor, so unless you are going for a Hill to Laettner bomb, this view does little to help. After tossing the ball in to your pointguard, the camera follows along until half court.
