To be honest, I played the demo and then went to play the NBA 2k11 demo (I have the full game, but wanted to compare the games on an "equal" level), and as much as I hate to say it, I liked 2k11 better -- it looks better and just felt more realistic and more fun.

I suppose I'm one of the few that liked IsoMotion and the Shot Stick, and I find it frustrating that you now have to remember a multitude of new button combinations to perform different moves and shots. I do think it's more fluid than 2K11, but in my eyes, that's about the only advantage it has from a gameplay perspective.

Looks like 2k11's going to get even more replay value ... or maybe I'll get NBA Live 13...

... Like that's going to happen!

This sounds like someone is mad they cant cheese.

Lag is horrible here in Australia. About a second input lag, can't do online sadly.

I completely agree, every time I try to pass quick they pass fake!!! I hope they fix this before release because it's really annoying.

Another thing i've noticed, it seems like there are much better lay up animations that are simple. What i mean is that players are doing regular lay ups most of the time instead of like in 2k12 where they would do these stupid badly programmed overly complicated double clutch lay up animations that are way overdone. A nice touch.

Dunking might still be a bit exaggerated, harden did some kind of crazy tomahawk dunk last night. Come on 2k, not everyone who can dunk decently does those kind of dunks. He rarely dunks like that.

Rebounding, from what i've played seems the same as last year, but maybe a bit quicker/better. This is actually not good, because rebounding last year was terrible and IMO needed a lot of improvement.

I've still seen some of the unnecessarily bobble the ball like an idiot animations, for me and the computer. This is when somebody makes a pass to an open big, and the game for some reason thinks that they need to fumble the ball around like an idiot for a few seconds before regaining control. I'd like to see less bobble animations.

The dribbling seems pretty good, but i still haven't completely gotten the hang of the controls for dribbling.

I also like the bounce pass feature, that was long overdue. Although i have noticed some dumb passes here and there.

Getting past your man feels more satisfying this year because it's harder to get into the paint(well at least to me it is, but then again i'm still getting the hang of the new controls). I blew by westbrook with chalmers because he anticipated the wrong way, and i got a nice little two hand dunk(not an exaggerated one). It was pretty nice.

You know... for all the complaints we always see about "basketball fundamentals" it's funny to me how these impression threads are always littered with "hit him the crossover" or "threw it down HARD."

Yes - those basketball fundamentals are really what people see right off the bat, eh?

I'm torn on the decision to have the dribbling as the default. With so many people accustomed to the shot stick, to make it a SECONDARY function now as the default baffles me. It's their bread and butter for years and now it plays second fiddle.

I tried to have an open mind about this but I find myself yearning for the option to change the default control to the SS and have the dribbles secondary. [Edit - Yes I know you can change this in the full game. A great choice at least.] This is something I never agreed with in Live's gameplay direction - just because dribbling happens at a more frequent rate doesn't mean it should be easily done. I see the same thing here although the dev. team has done a much better job of having more contact with the ball handler. I still see this being a problem (at least on defaults) of an inexperienced user taking a star and flicking the stick until they are all the way on the paint. I was able to do this on a few occasions and the Lebron, DWade, Westbrook and Durant all easily got to the rim.

Still excited for the game... but in the hopes to spotlight the "control stick" for dribbling and go against my design (which was shot stick first, LT opens up dribbling) this game opens up more to the casuals. A good thing for sales - accessibility is huge... but not a good thing for those that want the skilled players who learn the depth of the controls stand out.

I love how people are obsessed with winning, even on a 5 minute demo. So many posts in here speaking about win loss record on a 5 minute quarter. So much ego involved. Congrats, you are 12 -1 on a 5 minute online demo. I'm sure that record will carry over into real online play. Then we wonder why cheesers and exploits exist. It is the ego driven obsession with winning and then posting on here for approval and validation that drives the cheesers. Sorry if I sound like Phil Jackson but its just funny to read people posting thier demo win loss records in here, like anyone cares.

I think James would disagree with you:

Just being honest.....every year that's the case and then when the game comes out everybody finds something they don't like. And the reason they find something they don't like its because the game hardly different then the year before, same stuck in the past additions, what's next gonna have gonna have us play Michael Larry and Magic college years, same focusing on overrated my player mode knowing most of us love association the most, but never do much of anything to that mode....same graphics. I'm gonna just wait until next gen NBA 2k comes out
