Does anybody know if MS stop giving a free month for new live accounts?? I just made a new one to get the demo and didn't get the free one month.

Only works 3 times per console.

Re: NBA 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Some Tidbits:

+ Really like the closeups and facial animations. Graphics look great from close. Very impressive. Liked seeing Kobe chew gum. LOL. It's the little things.
- From far, not so much. Nothing stands out.

+ Controls feel tighter.
- I don't know when the hell my man is going to post up. Times I am trying to post I can't. Times I'm trying to drive, my man will stop driving and turn his back to the basket. It's annoying the crap out of me.

+ Liking the help defense. Opens up drive and kick game that hasn't been there in the past. I'm curious as to whether some teams have better help D than others.
- There were a few instances where help didn't come at all and my man could get all the way to the rim for a dunk from the three point line. But, it hasn't happened that often.

+ There are some good looking animations when finishing at the rim. I've seen a lot of different finishes.
- Animations at the rim give the offensive player a good shot a lot of the time even if you force it. Makes things kind of easy, because a bad shot ends up being a good shot because of the animations.

+ The computer moves the ball really well. Always looking for the open man.
- Every single player the AI has easily hits the open man. No matter who it is, they make great passes to cutters and open shooters.

+ The AI has more of an outside game. Not everything is revolved around getting a shot in the paint.
- It's almost overdone. The A.I. will have an open lane or a shot under the basket and will give up the rock to someone on the perimeter. You know, the type of stuff that would drive a coach crazy.

I'm just like everyone else in that I don't want every shot by the AI coming from the paint. But I want that because the perimeter players are playing like perimeter players and looking for jumpers. I don't want to see less points in the paint because bigs are not taking easy shots right at the basket. If that makes sense.

That's what I got so far.

EDIT:

+ Not sure how often it happens, but I've had players lose the ball when trying to do too much. Actually, it's only been Fisher. Lol.
- Remember how you can pretty much strip any fast break lay up? Yup, that's still in.

+ I actually like Kobe's jumper. I especially like his fade aways off of posting up.
- Don't like how you can't shoot on the move. I thought they had those in the game? It kinda bugs me when I have some space while on the move and I want to shoot. Only to wait as my man gathers for a SET SHOT. I don't want to shoot a set shot. Maybe I've been spoiled by the other game. Probably wouldn't care had they not had it in their game and not had done it so well.

my first impression is i simply do not like it. i hope the more i play the demo i begin to like it because i have already paid it off in full. i kinda overhyped myself for the demo. 2k9 demo i was very impressed how the game looked and how it played, but 2k10 i wasnt really impressed. I will keep playing and hope for the best.

Man im loving the Help Def. Got a mismatch between VC and fisher, VC posting me up Ron saw me in trouble and help out then VC past it out to Lewis and he drained the 3. Im glad they fix this man in NBA 2k9 this rarely or never happen. Kobe jumper is not that all bad people making it out to be. PIP is tone down, see in the cpu taking alot of mid jumpers now.

The only beef i had its 1 Q man. i Mean come on 2k man last year demo was like what 1 gig. This is yall 10 year anniversary i guess they dont want us to critique it too much. But im enjoying,

Damn Bynum can barley get off the floor i though he was more athletic than that. See my knick hero pat ewing next to vangundy. People were talking about the alley hoop problem im not seeing it. Nelson threw like 4 and 2 were miss. I knock 1 down and howard miss the other one.

I'm using it the same way as 2K9 and its working my man. Make sure you just use the Left Trigger.

That has to be new using the left trigger to do it...Im not talking about a post move spin im talking about a regular spin move. never had to use the left trigger to do it in 2k9

[staffan]

First impression is that I do not like it!
I will give it more time but i just feels boring and pale.

That is probably because its such a strip down version of the game. Its missing a lot.

Overall once I figured out the iso-motion and how to do some post moves the game is gonna be that game again for me. I will for the 1st time Buy both games this year. Things I like about the demo: Better AI against the LONG pass downcourt, they will pick it off. I like the way steals are this year they seem more responsive. Still getting used to On-ball D. Without any D adjustments and playcalling it'll be hard but I think this demo was meant to give you the basic 101 class style.

The enviroment is better than before, however that chant "Get Up" is gonna get very annoying.....(i think thats the one, im at work now so i forget).....I cant wait to get in there and totally edit the hell out there arena sounds They have "1" actual NBA arena sound on Defense that I heard, which surprised me since they never have had them in the game besides the one for the Spurs in past 2k's. Overall its good. I like how the crowd reacts....there are some times where they are standing and clapping but you dont hear the noise you would expect with that crowd animation.

I love the new camera angle for freethrows when they zoom in on the player....very nice element to the presentation. I think they still have that camera shake, which is in the retail version that I never really liked ever because it takes away the visual element of the crowds behind the backboard. I love that you can shoot your freethrows with X now as well as the shotstick.

I havent mastered dribbling out of the double team as i was only double in the post but you can get out of that double team as well. Ill have to practice it a little more.

I HATE that "Get Up" chant.

how do you do the behind the back move on 360?

this LT thing must be a new way you have to do it (even though i havent tried yet) I could do spin moves effortlessly in 2k9 WITHOUT holding LT... and im not talking about Post move spins

Re: NBA 2K10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360)

Just had this glitch where the referee couldn't get the ball to the inbounder.

He kept bounce passing to Gasol, Gasol would reach out for but wouldn't catch it. Then Kobe would walk over, pick the ball up, and pass back over to the ref.

This process was repeated over and over.

There were actually a few instances that Gasol actually did catch the ball. But then he'd pass it right back to the ref and the process would start over again.

Has anyone else had this happen?

If you really want to know how to do it, just download the draft combine (or draft combine trial), and go to the section in it that tells you ALL of the controls in the game. I believe it's called "How To Play"
