Offical Demo Impressions

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

Great demo, probably going to get off early at work to play it some more

So far there has been several bugs noticed:

- Double Dribbles
- Goaltending that is allowed (from balls that are coming off the backboard)

And one major gameplay issue:

- Slow players keeping pace/catching up to really fast players on fast breaks. This if kept in game will be a major concern. Why is this logic even in the game is beyond me. Get rid of it!!!!

That being said, sliding is a non-issue for me. The ball floating above the player's hands doesn't really bother me at all (although during block animations, the ball looks like its being deflected off an invisible wall instead of the player's hands).

Time to go home now

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

Wow this game is amazing. I feel as if I have to re-learn how to use isomotion again(it might be the new default controlls). The sig shots have been throwing my timing off not because of the specific shooting form but mainly because I just stare at the player and forget to release it .

Couple of funny moments with Shaq. I did a windmill dunk with him, I thought it was funny. Plus it's on Pro so i dont mind it.

The help defense is great in the paint.

I exploded with Wade from the key spun off Howard for an easy layup. I also did it another time but the help defense was there so split a bounce pass to Shaq by himself for an easy dunk.

Shaq has been getting called for so many lane violations that i've been scream at the TV yelling at Shaq...i think i'm losing it.

Got to work 4 hours late and i'm about to go home after 3 hours.

Feel lost in some of the controlls though. Will get used to it i guess.

Preview Review
Graphics - 8 (Decent..need my 2k cam...default cam is very nice though)
Gameplay - 9 (Very improved for offline and online play so it seems so far...NO CHEESE!!!)
Presentation - 8.5 (NO CUTSCENES...Cheerlearders look human)

Where the players sort of glide across the floor without any proper footwork.

Also when he does the mario walk when he's confronted by another player, or he turns his body (i.e. 180 degrees) with his feet planted in one place to catch a ball.

Where the players sort of glide across the floor without any proper footwork.

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

My favourite moment was when I was dribbling with J-Will and Dirk was guarding me, he pulled off some sick dribbling and moved forward, then I donno if that was a charge or he jsut simply lost his footing but Dirk just fell down on the ground same way Yao did against Stephon a couple years ago. That was so sweet.

I hope this doesn't happen too often like the 2K3 bobble fiasco

I didn't think the stuff in his sig was hilarious... first thing I thought was "Thats the Truth"

He is one of 3 greatest, if not THE greatest player to ever play the game.

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

man, this is sim basketball at its best. no more easy lay ins and dunks. the cpu pick n roll defense is a lot better. used a lot of pick n roll with terry and dirk.

not sure how casual bball fans will like it though. i know my brother and some of my other friends might not enjoy this game as much as i will

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

I love the game.

Only complaint is the catch up logic where bigs like Damp or Shaq can keep pace with Terry, Wade and Harris in the open court. I hope that's something they can really address before the game ships.

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

Ok, how do we do the idle animations? Ala Jason Terry or Dwyane Wade.
