• The graphics looks the same?
• The crowd seems to be still doing the same air fist pumps over and over again?
• I hope they fixed the bugs
• I hope the computer don’t try to over compensate to win the ballgame
• I hope the computer miss a shot when 2 defenders are already covering the shooter’s face
• And lastly, I hope it doesn’t suck

I have tons more but those are just initial thoughts.
