I bet it is. Just saw smoove's video. Demo would have been so much better if non-Kinect players could execute some of those quickplays and defensive changes in game. Cool little easter egg in demo for Kinect

Smoove actually inspired me to hook mine up, I never use it outside of when wifey exercises...

I can see angles so much better....and chaining moves into explosions has really opened up..

I'm assuming he is talking about getting the game to switch to the 2k angle with Kinect.

Not gonna lie, I've accidentally taken long jumpers with Ibaka cuz I couldn't immediately tell him apart from Durant. They're the same size when Durant should be rail thin. But I love how I can somewhat reliably attack the rim with Westbrook. He moves the ball around without me using the shot modifier and the speed he attacks the rim makes him able to slip by people better.

Also want to say I'm really loving the interaction between driver and defender. Defenders no longer bump you into submission like in 2K11, nor do they warp in front of you to stop you like in 2K12. There seem to be degrees of "beating your man", and if you get a step on him, you can penetrate with the defender still riding you to the bucket and trying to affect your path and shot rather than either hitting a brick wall or blowing by him completely.

It's the way it should be.

I was quite suprised they got this right as it's always been an issue in past games, and promo videos showed the bumping but not a lot of the hip riding.

lol

so anyways...I've done 3 ankle breaking crossovers in this demo, which is 2 more than the entirety of my time with 2k12. One of them felt 'not so earned' compared to the other two.

Also seen a few windmills with players nearby. It has made me wonder if players with Highlight Reel will perform uncommon dunks in traffic too often for my tastes. Although it does need 80 STM to pull off...forgot about that.

yeah yeah demo, pro, default n all that. Im just saying i think some will be addressing it with sliders.

LOVE play continuing after a whistle! can't state enough how awesome this is!

so i don't know if this is a demo glitch or the game glitch

but i just got called for a shooting foul and then perkins blocked the ball after the foul is called and he got a goltending call so norris cole got a three point play

hope it's only a demo glitch

Unless I'm not understanding what your saying, That's not a glitch....even after the whistle you can't goaltend if the player got the shot up in time...

That wouldn't be a glitch of any kind

It's the same as the "and 1"...if the player is in the act of shooting and you foul them that doesn't mean you can then goaltend with no penalty

Some things I noticed already

-Spin move and up and under moves are way overpowered...
-Self alleyoops need to be drastically toned down (I personally would even remove them from the entire game)
-Lack of contact when an offensive player is close/under the rim (maybe a slider thing?), combined with poor shot blocking/too slow contest animations for the defenders. Lead passes could be the cheesers' favorite weapon this year

Everything else feels GREAT, having a lot of fun with the demo

I am really liking the demo so far, but I totally agree with the bolded. I am not sure why 2K refuses to remove these legacy "uninterruptible" animations. It is extremely frustrating to see an Offensive player go through these long-winded animations and know that no matter what you do (run into the player, try to block the shot, put your hand up, etc...) the player is going to get the shot off perfectly clean every time. There are just entirely too many animations that play out in the paint where an Offensive player can just float/glide through people unhindered. Last year I had people abuse the heak out of that kind of crap online, and it looks like it may be more of the same this year as well

no what i mean is perk fouled cole on a layup and and then quickly got called for a goltend when it's clearly not a goltend because the ball is just an inch off cole's fingertip
