Homecourt

I know the game's been out awhile, but I was wondering if anyone here has played it. Its the latest in the NBA Street franchise, and from the demo I know they took out the trick stick(no idea why, it was the most fluid gameplay mechanic from Vol3), and even Steve Nash or Tony Parker can block three's, so you are forced to dunk. It was still kind of fun, but going from eight directions on the right stick to two face buttons for executing moves sems backward to me.
