    Re: Offical Demo Impressions

    Wow. The animations are amazing. Touches like passing out of a double team and the speed of jumpshots are spot on. Dunks feel much improved and the transitions between animations are much more seamless than I've seen in a hoops game before. This is the biggest jump the 2K series has made from one season to the next.

      Anyhow, this is one solid demo. Very good AI. I was able to get some open shots. And I noticed NO sliding whatsoever - all the players have weight to them and seem to have to plant their feet to change direction.

        I have a question on the right analog on D. I think if you hold up, you raise your hands, left or right moves your guy quick to that side, and down goes for the steal.

        Are these moves location sensitive on the court meaning that to put your hands up you have to hold directly away from the ball handler and directly right and left to get the shade animations?

        One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post - the load times are non-existant.

          uhhh... it still seems as if you cannot explode out of the triple threat??? wither that or I'm doing something wrong...

          The only bad thing I have noticed so far is that the players do the jump passes a little too much ....

          I have only seen about 3 dunks in 9 games so far... Im lovin it...

            I cannot believe this. This by far the best looking next/gen game that I have ever seen 2k7 being not far behind. The gameplay is spot on in my opinion. There is only 1 problem, too many games coming out at once Dammit!!!

              i exploded out of the triple threat with D Wade... did that thing when he bobs the ball left and right.. then BOOM he dashed to the left.. but the help defense stopped me.

                This game is gonna be dang near perfect. In fact, I have no gripes from this demo. Everything I've seen gameplay wise is what I've been expecting. Yeah the player models need to be tweaked (I don't know why Dirk's hair is painted on but Steve Nash's moves0in the video). I don't mind them so much because Dirk still looks like Dirk. Walker looks like Squirtle from Pokemon (as in real life) and J. Will looks like a rat-man (as in real life, lol). The players really have weight to them. There's very minimum slide and you can really feel the plant when you change directions. Free throws are gonna be real tough for me as you have to change how you shoot with each player (yes I missed my first with Shaq...and all subsequent others haha).

                The graphics are so much cleaner than last year's version, it's really beautiful. I am going to be killing this game once it's released.
                PS: You guys are great.

                  hold both triggers move the left analog stick to the left or right (court location specific) then just hold a direction and relase the triggers.

                  aslo you can roll out of the triple threat hold both triggers moe the left analog stick away from the basket (youll see the animation im talking about) hold a direction as hes "protecting" the ball and he will spin off that way..

                  just for the record all you gusy who are me and KDRE's league are going to be in alot of trouble on xbl

                        agree with almost everyone here about the impressive gameplay and tons of new and beautiful animations. i was expecting a little bit better graphics but gameplay and animations kinda overides that for now.

                            Is the controls similar to nba 2k6 or college hoops 2k6? IMO ch2k6 isomotion is better than nba 2k6 because I can consistently do what I want.

                            For example in ch2k6, to do a spin move you have to hold down the aggressive modifier AND the backdown button while doing a circular motion. In nba 2k6, I randomly do either the spin move or the behind the back dribble.

                              Impressions sound Sweet!

                              For those who played ID 04, are the tendacy starting to get like that? I know they had them last year, but players like dirk and Walker would still not play like themselves that much. AKA, not many threes, hanging out in the post instead of at the elbow or 3 line, etc.....

                              So is it more like ID? Did they add more player tendacies? And do they work in the game?
