great demo,...i was really impressed.
they've colour corrected to make it look more real, and the animation transitions are much better. The crowd is best by any game ever. My girlfriend hates sports games, and was watching me play the demo and she was amazed.

The more I play this, the more I love it. This feels like the game I have been waiting for since 2k2, plus all the new innovations such as sig shots and next gen detail. Amazing.
Cant wait for the full version.

Played 4 games in the demo. Some of the gameplay mechanics are great. I like the collision detection and the realistic finishing moves in the paint. It's interesting that any weak post moves get rejected left and right. I like the way the ballhandling feels and the way the ai's D picks up and there's good flow off the ball and good spacing as usual. The only concern I have after a couple of the games is that it was super easy to hit 3's and I hit an unrealistically high pct in my games. It could be the default level and I need a much larger sample size to draw conclusions...but it is a concern I have until I really beat the game up for a while. I'm guessing it'll go away once I get to turn the level up to All-Star or HOF, assuming those are the levels again this year.

A small thing I LOVED was a loose ball was going out of bounds and the game has such signature moves that KG dove looking SO MUCH like KG and saving it for a breakaway by "Ray Ray" (how great is that on the PA). Did I miss something though in the Fleet Center? The game is so realistic I imagine it must be the case, but, if so, the new championship banners are HORRIBLE with the weird B with the year underneath. Tell me it's some crazy bug...you can't change the Celtics banners like that...can you??? Some chowderhead please straighten me out on that.

I keep seeing new animations all the time and this is just the demo....last night I stripped Kobe as he went up for the dunk and when he came down, the ball deflected off his knee and went out of bounds for the turnover....nice!!!!!

Here are some vids I did for those who can't download the demo or are still on PS2/Xbox... Nothing too noteworthy to point out -- I was basically running the post game for the most part because I took these right after seeing the move list. KG does a great pumpfake then RT + Y move into the paint that looked perfect.
#1 - I'm the Lakers
#2 - controlling the Celtics
#3 (has video intro) Back to the Lakers

Haha yeah, this game definitely has that quality, especially in lower-quality digicam videos uploaded to YouTube. That hazy look combined with the smooth animations and player faces make it appear extremely real...

Tomorrow can't get her soon enough
The animations in the demo are amazing! I went in for a layup with Kobe and got blocked by both Perkins and Garnett! The ball bounced off the glass to Gasol who then passed it back to Kobe, who got blocked again by Garnett, but then got the rebound and the eventual layup. The crowd went crazy. The graphics are amazing. 2K8 looks horrible compared to 2k9. The players really look like themselves this year. Odom's head shape is spot on and Kobe's peanut head is deadly accurate. This game is great, and this was just the demo!
One clear positive this year: Post-Players are actually useful offensively. As has been said before, K.G. is a total beast this year.
In past years he's been nigh on useless besides the defensive end, imho.
I'm noticing there's a LOT of blocked shots though...Which in some way is good if you're over aggressive in just driving it every play...but a tad bit unrealistic nonetheless.

The faces and detail are awesome! However, a couple make me squirm...
-Is it just me or does Derek Fisher look more like Michael Wilbon?
-Something is just a little goofy about Ray Allen's facial expressions? I think it is the half smile thing? He looks a little "special" if you know what I mean?
-It looks like Doc Rivers face got in a fight with a grizzly and lost.
