Game play
The second time was clearer because I had already played. I picked a better team and could use the controls. This time was more competitive between the people playing knew how to play. With more practice I can see that I am already getting better. At one point I didn’t realize which player I was controlling and I ran him into the post of the basket. The character fell over just like he would have if he had hit the pole in real life. It was really funny but interesting that they could make him react like that.


Game design
This is a good game design because you can have many different matches with different players and different teams. The controls are complicated at first but allow you to have control of a whole team of characters. This game causes competition and lots of back and fourth leads. The open competition of different teams leave room for lots of playtime. The were not very clear at the beginning which controls you would need but you ca figure them out once your playing. I think the idea of NBA courtside is cool because you can pick your favorite well-known players but on other basketball games you don’t have to use a designated team you can select your own players to make a team. This leaves room for more choice.

good game log.
