I still see some of the problems that have plagued the series in the past:
CPU attacks the rim and defenders part the Red Sea to let them in.
Player attacks the rim, draws contact, misses layup, no foul.
Player misses wide open layups. (I missed 4 in one game with Durant)
Computer grabs lots of offensive rebounds (I counted 6 in one game)
Shane Battier posted up Ibaka, backed him down, and executed a black diamond post move for an easy layup.


But a lot of the canned animations and defensive issues seem to have been improved. I'm very excited to get this game in a week!

Oh no!!!!! I was in the demo losing by 1 with 7 seconds left. The other team had the ball but I stripped. Then when I had a wide open layup I forgot to push L2 and I dribbled out of bounds and lost

you can't technically "lose" if it's only one quarter son! haha

"Cheese" looks like it can be stopped this year so hopefully there isn't complaints

10 min in on PS3 and at 85... 87... 89% for me. Maybe try canceling and restarting?

91% now, so everything seems fine in my end.

Im kinda scared to restart but ok

Things I've noticed against computer so far. This could be because I don't rly know the controls much and u know after a while u can figure out how computer plays, but after I score Durant was down the court and they tossed it to him for an easy bucket they never did that in 2k12. Blocks are great against the backboard and look realistic. Also when computer has Westbrook they actually have him go to the basket and attack right away instead of dribbling up top for 15 seconds. Computer feels like ur playing someone so far which is good.

im sorry but defense is still BAD! Players part move out of the way for no reason when driving to the rim and skating is still evident

Good just be good defense.

Every contact layup isn't a foul in basketball. If there's body contact that alters the shot, but there isn't no type of harsh contact then it shouldn't be called.

That's not true.

Okay, after playing a few games im confident that i can review the demo.

1.Loving the new stick. It will of course take time to get used to it, but im doing pretty decent so far vs the cpu. Did a quick sprint right, cross-over and step-back and got wiiiiiide open. It was amazing.
2.Love the defence, I never liked defence before due to all the animations and cheap ways to get past things like the baseline cheese. In the demo so far, i've seen a lot of defenders pushing the guy off and cutting his path to the basket (Durant did this when i tried forcing ti with Lbj) and i like that.It's more realistic and way better than 2k12.Just wish the Intense D was more responsive. I always felt like intense D left you vunerable for people to just run around you.
3.I like the contact on the lay-ups and the like, i've only seen Kd dunk and haven't been able to do it myself for some odd reason.Nice to see players like wade and lbj get into the paint somewhat more easily than people like chalmers or thabo. All the animations seem good, and the cpu defense is great.They call double teams,they pick up people a bit better than before, and just move around better in general.Same for the offense, it moves more and doesn't just stay still.When the cpu see's you posting up it'll move away to give you room. I did this with LBJ when he was hot and CB ran away to get opened while his guy Perkins tried double teaming.Talk about awesome.

THat's it for now, looking forward to online play but that's not available yet so i'll be waiting a bit. Before this i was thinking of not buying it but now i definitely am, now all i gotta decide is if i want to pay 60 bucks or wait and get it cheaper....

I don't care what anyone says, I like the menus and the music, lol.

That said, about 10 min in, the game looks fantastic on PS3 this year, sounds great, and plays buttery smooth. I was I could use 2K Cam, but other than that, this demo is golden......

..... See what I did there?

Nice job again 2K!
