Re: Offical Demo Impressions

Ok so here it is. LT+A = bounce pass. LT+B=lob . Basically LT is the pass modifier. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but that's what's working for me.

RT+B has been said to be fancy pass or fancy lead pass.

ALSO, for LR+A for bounce pass... this is not the case when your in the fighting for position animation. the ball is automatically lobbed over there shoulder.

hard to explain, but for the most part your right

[QUOTE=warnerwlf98;2628804]I've been playing quite awhile, but for some reason, I can't make guys catch passes in stride. I don't think icon lead passing works, even when the recipient is moving. I try to use the lead pass button as often as I can when I see guys moving, but it always messes up my fast break when they stop to catch the pass. What should I do to make the pass recipients continue their forward progress towards the hoop after they catch the ball? Thanks.[/QUOTE

Actually im pretty sure you just have to aim with left analog stick to Icon lead pass. I was very happy to see it. Just pass the ball around the perimeter and youll see what I mean. This game is sick. After I played the NCAA demo i felt really disapointed, but 2k is great. I guess basketball games just flow so much better than football, no play calling.

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

there is no icon lead passing... u have to use the lead pass button and point towards the person that's already cutting... took me a while to figure that out.. i was wonderin why my fastbreaks would stop but now i understand

WOW!!! this game is amazing

This game is nuts..Jaw dropping.. It's like a totally different game.. & VC addressed my jersey's looking too watery & soft concern.. They know look like thick material, & sways good this time..Also the sliding isn't really sliding..Players still break when turning..Too mant turn overs, but most were my OWN fault.. This game looks hard, but I'm so glad.. I could drive to the hoop to save my life.. The two lay ups I got I cherrished, cause I had to earn them.. I see cheesers hating this game, & will stay with the Xbox version..Cause it's 'better' No console game has ever been more sim in gameplay.. This is actually like a BB game.. I drove with Wade to the hoop, a defender came to block his path, so he moved his body in a weird postional, did the lay up with his other hand on the right side of the basket..(He was coming from his left..) Just everything..Seriously.. If this game grets under a 9.5 it's criminal..VC is back with a vengence..I'm so glad I'm wrong.. & wil enjoy my crow this yr.. Thank you very much VC!!

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

First off, this is a Demo?!?! I've never played a demo like this before ever!?!? This game flows night and day from NBA 2K6 or anything we've ever seen before. This is no doubt revolutionary stuff!

As a lifelong Sonic fan I have to say...you guys FREAKIN NAILED Gary Payton. If you guys out there haven't subbed him in for J-Will yet, please DO! I'm sittin' here doing double takes at not only his shot, but his defensive stance, his parted fingers, his occasional head bob movement....it's ********! Seriously, I'm asking myself: "Is this guy in my TV?" His fade away shot out of a spin move almost made me cry!

Enough can't be said for the signature implementation and the multiple animations between players, fans, coaches, the bench, etc...as that guy said in the interview yesterday, it makes it organic and brings everything to life!

What an amazing effort! And what a leap and bound that was made in a year or so! I can't even begin to imagine where this can take us, but I can't wait to find out!

I truly believe "NBA 2K7 IS THE GREATEST SPORTS VIDEO GAME OF ALL-TIME!!!" There is really no doubt in my mind. Like I said, this is mind blowing stuff to me and this is a demo?!?!? Can it improve, yeah...but this is as good as any sport has ever translated to pixels!

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

This game is full of jaggies on SDTV. VC didn't optimize it. I'm writing Take 2 and telling them to delay it.

Yeah Im pretty sure they will handle that for ya... lol..

Man I miss Icon Lead passing on the break....

I cant seem to get it to the right man with just the analog stick and the B (Lead Pass Button)

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

My only gripe is that the announcers call most of the players by their jersey number, as if they were user-created players. I assume this is an issue with the demo only, but you never know. Hopefully they got Kenny to record the name of every player in the league.

That happened to me once, I was only getting the numbers then played another game right after and they only announced names. Hope it is just an issue with the demo.

Only other problem I had was Haslem's shorts disappeared (or turned into a jersey, same thing as last years).

Other then that this is my favorite demo....EVER.

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

With Wade I was able to get my own rebound off of a couple midrange misses, yet another nice touch!

I'm kinda glad players can't fire pinpoint lead passes out to the timeline off the rebound anymore. Makes guys actually RUN the break, not throw it. I hated when bastids used to leak a guard on every possession and drop 3/4 court dimes from under their own basket....

[WTF]

Re: Offical Demo Impressions

HOLY **** WHAT A SHOT BY DIRK... you're right Wally... I was thinking, what on earth is he doing? But he nailed that. That was insane.

Thats not what Im talking about..

Im talking about when I have a 3 on 1 break after already crossing half court, and I try to throw a pass to josh joward on my right instead of stackhouse on my left...

For some reason analog passing is not precise at all... not sure If its just my button pressing not being precise or what..
