I didn't get to play the demo before renting.
1st game Thunder vs. Kings
I'll post as I go.
7 minute quaters.
No Sonics jersery.
It's cool they know it's tuesday.
Oh lawd! The framerate on the opening!
Sure is bright in here,don't like that cam. Switching to press.
Oh lawd! The framerate in game.
Snatched an alley oop from the AI that was cool but seeing them try it their first play without the setup was bad.
I've now missed 3 open shots and a lay up.
AI tries to alleyoop on their 2nd play and the pass is blocked.
Martin warps under the basket and gets a layup. Nice.
Went back to broadcast cam. Press was unplayable.
21-20 Kings after 1. They're shooting 73% and 56% for me.
Only one foul called with one trip to the line.
Should also note I didn't get the book with my rental so don't know all the controls.
Martin did some funny dance along the baseline and jacked up a shot that hit the side of the board.
Auto-subs AND auto-time outs are on even though I've turned them off on the main menu before starting.
Then none of my subs take.
Then I call another TO and they don't take AGAIN.
Had to intentionally foul and they STILL didn't get in.
Another one and FINALLY they get in there. (Because I've realized there's pretty much no fouls called anyway)
There goes the framerate again.
I seem to be having problems with the pump fake happening instead of actually shooting.
Evans just did the same thing Martin did earlier.
46-33 Thunder at the half.
60% for me and now 50% for them.
Still only 1 non intentional foul.
Don't get to make half time subs anymore.
I'm hating the player movement,it doesn't feel good at all.
Menus are awful of course but I knew that from the NHL game.
Thankfully no more alley oop attempts.
Nocioni just dunked,don't think that's right.
Yay another foul. That's 2 now.
The framerate dives again on one of the FTs.
This doesn't really feel like 2K8 or 2K9 and it's better than the draft combine but it's reminding me of Live 07/08.
Spencer Hawes drains a contest 3.
DJ White drains an uncontested 3. (Yah,yah I forgot he was in there and thought it was Green or Durant)
The announcers say he's not gonna let anyone get the best of him and he'll trade 3's with you all game.
70-58 after 3.
Green missed a wide open 3,Westbrook got the rebound and did a straight sick dunk. The framerate dived again during the dunk so it looked like they were in the matrix or something.
Apprently Westbrook is famous for getting rebounds and doing dunks.
I really like that reggae song on there,dunno what it is but they're playing it during a time out and I heard on the menu earlier.
Dunno what that just was. They called a TO,inbounded,Hawes stood there with it,passed it to Udrih who stood there with it even longer,passed it Evans who stood there with it,started driving and then back to Udrih for a contested 3 that went in. That ain't right!
Should be more desperation being down 15 with 2 minutes to go.
Now they're down 12 with about 1:10 and still standing around with it.
Oh snap! Westbrook just completly broke off Nocioni,shook him BOTH left and right then dunked on Thompson with the and 1. That was the nastiest thing I've ever seen in a 2K game. Good thing it wasn't in franchise or he'd get suspended 5 games for that!
92-75 final for me/Thunder.
Westbrook player of the game. 30 pts,8 ast,6 reb,3 stl
Durant had 21,3 reb,1 ast and 2 stl
Harden with 16,5 reb and 3 ast
For the Kings
Martin had 24,3 ast,3 stl
Evans 18,2 ast,2 stl
Thunder 40/63 63%,6/19 from 3 31%,23 ast,10 TO,4 fouls (2 intentional),26 reb,4 blk
Kings 34/63 53%,7/15 from 3 46%,22 ast,8 TO,5 fouls,18 reb,1 blk
Well the numbers turned out decent and the Westbrook highlights were sick (hope I can up those) but overall wasn't a very enjoyable experience with awkward player movement and terrible framerate.
Gonna try out a dunk contest now before putting in that other game.
Forget how to do most of this stuff but I'll try it anyway.
Thorton knocked a dude over and helped him up.

Nice new dunk I did with Moon. Think it's new anyway. He knocked someone over too.
Time still doesn't reset on replacement dunks. Still runs during prop set up too.
Pretty much the same as last year.
