This year's game plays better than it ever has. The controls are very tight, and the movement of the players, both on offense and defense, is very realistic and well done. Player contact feels real, and directional changes are believable. It is, however, frustrating that the biggest issue that has plagued this series for the last few years is still present. It is simply way too easy to penetrate and get inside shots. Even with slower players, one or two moves done well will get you into the lane, almost without exception. This is something EA Sports needs to adjust in the future in order to move toward further realism.
Rudy Gay has emerged as one of the big stars of the youth-driven Memphis Grizzlies, who have established themselves as a team to be reckoned with in the NBA Playoffs. The former UConn star has transferred his scoring prowess from the college hardwoods to the NBA quite seamlessly. And the NBA All-Star has stayed in touch with fans using the latest technology. In 2008, he teamed up with YouTube to get video of dunks that he could use as inspiration for his own performance in the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Gay also is an avid gamer. In 2009 he teamed up with EA Sports to provide motion-captured moves for NBA Live 10. He talks about his love of video games in this exclusive interview.
Since entering the NBA in 2004 after a stellar two seasons at the University of Arizona, Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76’ers) has emerged as the main attraction in Philly. The same fickle fan base that once cheered for Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson is now behind Iguodala as the Sixers take on the Miami Heat’s trio of LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in the NBA Playoffs. Iguodala is a master at stealing the ball from opponents and has a solid all-around game, which helped turn the Sixers around in just a year and jettisoned them back into the hunt for a championship. Iguodala lists videogames as one of his hobbies, so when he’s not on the real court, he’s likely playing basketball or football on Xbox 360. The NBA star talks about his gaming habits in this exclusive interview.
As the NBA Playoffs are in full swing, Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic is the recipient of the 2010-11 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Howard, best known to NBA fans as Superman, talks about his love of video games in this exclusive video interview.
