Because even though the skin textures and lighting look improved, the jersey's still irritate the hell out of me.

I agree about the crowd. I hope the crowd's animations are fluid and that they react and stand up and do whatever other animations realistically. NBA 09 has a nice animation for when someone launches a three, the crowd stands up and it looks so awesome!
