Whoa!!!!!! I'm lost for words. Where do I start. First off, this is not 2k10. So many things that's been improved upon.

Rondo A.I. is the absolute truth!!!!!! He's hitting me with all kinds of moves. Did I fake pass with one arm out holding the ball into a turn around fade away. Had on instance where I got the ball poked away and it was loose going back down the court towards the Celtics basket. Rondos picks the ball up in stride and continues in for a slam. It was so fluid. Had that have happened in 2k10 he would have stopped for a second after he picked the ball up.

Absolutely loving the running around screens, getting open animations, cuts to the basket. It's gonna be a thing of beauty to actually run plays now. Some times down the court you'll see Kobe immediately go down to the box and post up. The defensive fronts.....etc. So so so much.............just wow.

All I can say is atmosphere wise, movement, controls, etc etc makes this game feel alive while 2k10 seems more like .. well this makes it seems boring as heck

Yep, just hope the PC version gets all of the sound improvements because as blah as 2K10 was in comparison, the PC version was even more subdued.

The player movement is so much better

The directional sizeups work really well

The way the ballcarrier strafes when you feather the stick and switches ball to the other hand when you push the stick all the way just makes so much sense. The footplanting shines there, and you can't get the sliding thats in Elite because feathering the stick means you aren't trying to move quickly. Just makes so much sense.

The variety of jumpers is much better done than in 2K10. Same goes for the intense-D, the arena sounds, the menus, the overlays (like the freethrow how to). Just much better in every way.

Pierce's face, much better than 2K10. I think his set shot animation is brutal though. I think I saw shot animations get altered with contact though (tough to tell, kobe in the far corner) and I blocked the one set 3 Pierce took. The animation for his momentum jumper, however, is magnificent. I wish they'd given him a similar shot out of the post instead of the generic looking one he has down there.

Fisher's set shot, great.

I'm look forward to figuring out the double team system, right stick passes, and offball movement, things I already forgot the game even had. So glad this is on PC as well.

Yep i when i went to play the demo was disconected from xbl everytime. You can only play as the Lakers in the demo.

Found it odd, guess everyone has this issue.

[jmo2278]

Worst.Demo.EVER....

No audio (expected)
No playcalling (kinda expected but still a bummer)
NO REMATCH
one FOUR minute qtr ( what happened to the five min qtr)
Can only play as lakers (WTF is up with that? They alwasy let us switch teams in demo)
NO USER V USER (again WTF, biggest sin of them all! we have to take turns watching someone else play demo?!?! SMH)

I guess the better the game the crappier the demo eh?
The game itself is super duper fly! Too many improvements to name. Overall smoothness/polish, new iso-motion, improved D stands out the most to me so far. Damnit I thought this demo would transition me smoothly into oct 5th. this is more of a teaser than a demo!!!

Thought this demo would save me from drudging through another 3 weeks of madden/ncaa but it wont because of the things i listed above! Oh well back to calendar jocking til the 5th(thats F-I-F fifth)....

momentum jumpshots are so much better

Momentum jumpers are a beast..lol. It seems like they have different releases and it takes some time to get used to, but man I am glad we can take different jumpers whenever we want and not just leaners.

maybe just 20% more contact animations and im a happy man. In transistion I was Gasol trying to defend the basket. I jump up to block a layup and my player kind of slides around the offensive guy. In CH2k8, that is a hard foul animation more often than not... Skill level/Game style may dictate that though, so i'm hopeful.

Kobe Cheese, on PRO atleast, is quite apparent. I dunked over 4 Celtics.

Good news, CPU KG was hitting 18 ft. jump shots all over my face.

Lots of fall down animations both offensive and defensive (with no injuries.. similar to the trailer vid)

I wont take much from the AI spectrum with this demo. Ill mainly just learn the controls

The jumpshots are making me fall in love. Just being able to pull up like Kobe would is sweet as hell. I absolutely love how the known shooters like kb and fish use awareness to step behind the line for 3s when they are open off a drive and kick, what also gets me hyped is how the bench stands up like real life awaiting a trey ball. Defense is really improved and i also love the weight on players when moving/dribbling its gonna be a hell of a year.

P.S Rondo is an absolute gambler and theif like real life.

October needs to hurry up.

the cpu bites way too easily on pump fakes. hopefully thats just because its on pro difficulty.
