Yeah THIS its tricky to do consistently though.

Woah, my first post was quoted by Da Czar haha.

Care to elaborate on the timing of using the LB button for the demo Czar (or anyone else who has figured it out so far)? It seems in your 10 days previews that the LB button will have a display when pressed in the actual game, yes?

Why would they only allow the Lakers to be able to play? Can you play 2 players?

# 164 SageInfinite @ 09/14/10 08:34 AM

I just saw PP's set shot. HOLY CRAP.

Builds don't really apply to demos. They could have the most recent "build" and then just strip features from it since you can turn on and turn off features in games before they're shipped.

Does Kobe new kicks or is everbody wearing generics???

# 167 2k10Fonzarelli @ 09/14/10 08:37 AM

wow, they got KG clapping his hands when matched face-up on Defense.

Did I not notice that last year?

I see why Czar's latest series is focused on the play calling and the plays themselves. 2K has obviously put alot of work in this area to be on par with, if not surpass, the competition.

From what I've played so far, I wonder if 'cheese' complaints will come from people not knowing how to defend basketball plays instead of people who can't stop 1 on 1 slashers like Lebron and Kobe.

@KyotoCarl I'll do well to remember that, thanks.

No I don't think they are the same build. Can't tell if its earlier or later.

# 169 SageInfinite @ 09/14/10 08:42 AM

Wow driving and going into Kobe's pullup jumper feels amazing!

# 170 JrDoubleHockeySticks @ 09/14/10 08:43 AM

I know we're on the topic of playcalling the last few post but... has anyone been able to pull off a hard foul? and if so how was the animation? i havent done one yet. It says to use turbo and the right stick but when exactly?

# 171 MrZone @ 09/14/10 08:44 AM

......this is the first sports demo....ever....where I was blown away. The gameplay is sharp, the AI is even sharper. This feels like a real NBA game.

haha Man apologies I didn't know that was your first post I ususally give a welcome to the OS when I see that.. SOOOOOoooo Welcome to the OS baby !!! Hope you stick around.

Its not real consistent but if you get into the halfcourt and then tap the lb then quickly the player icon and a play sometimes it works... so like Kobe's icon is B so I go lb the b and b again for that play. When its done right you see a red indicator under the player. Like it said its not very consistent at this point but its in there.

Yes is does feel very authentic. Just breathes the NBA, and it's only a demo. SMH. Barebones at that.

# 174 jeebs9 @ 09/14/10 08:46 AM

So I repeat....You can't play 2 player games? Where someone else plays as the celtics?

Thanks Czar ahah.

People need to read this (by this i mean the BOLD print), i just tried it and it works for me almost everytime now. Also, i'm gonna try Lb to B to A, X, B and Y to see if those are different plays as well

Yeah, i think it depends on where you're standing....for some reason you can't start the play at any spot on the floor, but top of the three point line, in the middle of the court seems to be pretty reliable

# 179 stizz @ 09/14/10 08:49 AM

Don't think so jeebs. The only options are resume, view controls and quit when you pause the game.

Nice work figuring out the playcalling too guys.
