    He is saying..."1,2,3"....also when ray allen scores the PA guy will say "Ray Ray".

    When on offense the CPU will come up and set picks for you and roll and pop depending on the players setting the pick...I had a sweet pick and roll with Rondo and Perkins. Perkins was wide open and received the pass only to get rejected on the dunk by Gasol coming over from the weak side....crowd went ahhhh when Perk got blocked

    Lock-on D is alot better, you shade the defender to get him play the offensive player by moving the L stick. To determine whether to play tight, mid or way off you move the R stick. What I loved was when i was guarding Rondo I backed off of him all the way and he would shoot the 3 just like in real-life. I did the same thing when guarding Fish and backed off him and he proceed to shoot the J.

    I've never been good with Isomotion so cant really comment on it.

    I'm lovin' KG's FT routine its spot on.

    No highlights at the end of the 1st quarter, just get the score overlay and rematch screen pops up

    The user controlled team cant sub so you are stuck with the starting 5; however the CPU subs towards the end of the quarter. One of the negatives about the CPU subbing as the Lakers was that they brought in a lineup of Farmar, KObe, Walton, Odom, and Radmanovic at center, very odd lineup. I could understand if I was going small but KG was being guarded by Radmanovic.

    Cant wait till tuesday, wish i was playing demo on 360 bc not to familiar with 2k PS3 controls

              has anyone tried to adjust your shot in mid-air, if so, does it look sick?

                Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3 Only For Now)

                LMAO well firstly it's quite crazy coz I just Derek Fisher run up court shoot a 3 and scored, then me gettin mixed up with the Live controls flicked the right stick, Rajon Rondo had the ball half court, threw up the shot and BOOM 3 points to me lmaooo.

                Anyway serious side, straight away you feel the difference between now n last year. Feels much smoother, animations are great and a nice match intro.

                I would however prefer to just mess around with this to prepare for the real thing as I feel this demo was just thrown together quickly just to have a demo like theres not much too it just play 1 4 or 5 min quarter and thats it. I don't expect them to put everything in there ofcourse but atleast let me make a sub! lol

                    I am still downloading and watching the NLDS game, but as soon as the download is finished, I'll play a few games.

                    Just one question: is it finally easier to get a complete open shot. In the past versions, I couldn't get one to save my life, the defenders were way to quick.

                          I can't get over the atmosphere of the arena and I love the stat overlays. This game is nice. Real nice.

                          I just had a shot hit the rim, bounce up, hit the backboard, bounce on the rim brace and then fall in.
                          I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                            ...was hoping they would have smoothed out the image quality a bit...

                            do the skin textures and faces make it look more realistic than last year though would you say?

                              Overall, how do you guys feel about the graphics. Becuase I see some people saying the graphics are amazing, and other saying there are jaggies. Are the jaggies worse tha 2k8 Genecyst?
