I only had time for two games and unlike last year, I want to check it out some more later - it definitely felt better than 08.
About the demo itself - take a note VC! That's how it should be; you can check nearly all option screens and get informations about it.

It's nice to play around in the gym while loading, but it's still just a way to make the load time a bit enjoyible. And then it goes to a camera seemingly moving from the locker room to the court - it still reads 'loading'. I guess I'm cosseted by VC and the PES series, but that is something that bothers me with all EA sports games - loading takes too long.
The fans look good - as long as they are blurred or on pics. While it's not as bad as in NHL09, they only have like 5 animation frames per second.
As said, the initial impression of the actual gameplay is positive; I left with the want of playing some more - didn't even check all the controls. Only strange thing I noticed: In both games a CPU player hit from his own court half, a few steps to the half court line - hope that's not the norm.

Btw, can get get a demo impressions thread going and moved to the top. Thanks.

The demo really does not feel smooth to me. Admittedly I am still getting used to the controls, but but I've seen enough awkward looking transitions from picking up the dribble to the shot to know it's not that.

On the plus side, it looks great, though I am not a fan of the player models.

Just so you all know.

Unlimited (I think) shoot around with Paul in the Practice Facilities. Then you can play 1 half of 2 minute quarters with Lakers vs Celtics with the current rosters, June 8th 2008, or their November game in 2007. Instead of quitting after the game, you just go back to the practice facility.

Also, the video that shows at the beginning is unskipable so just know that.
