So does DA_Czar. I've been playing these games for a long time so this isn't a case of getting used to the controls. I'm playing on allstar where the real ballers play Czar.

I am sorry you don't like the game. I still do !!! i don't recall making any guarantees that everyone would love the game. good thing you have an alternative.

Everything about this demo is top notch except for the rebounding and shot blocking. I hope to god these items have been tweaked for the final build.

the opossing team executes plays with perfection - that was my first thought as the Lakers went on 9-0 run to start the game

I thought the demo was impressive. I am more of a fan of the 2k series but I must say that this year's Live has a chance to be special. I don't think the demo swayed me from sticking with 2k but on Oct 6 I will be at Blockbuster early to try to rent it.

still seeing some fantastic gameplay things going on. In various half's i have seen kobe be me first. The seen him be a distributor for an entire half. I saw pau get his number called a lot. The one person i haven't seen go off in the demo was artest he seems to be content playing off everyone else.

Anyone else learn not to play around with the ball being guarded by artest ??? gesh ! LOL

still way prefer the final than demo but its still fun to play.

hopefully you guys see what i meant its not perfect but if you love the gameplay those other issues don't seem that big. not to me anyway.

Me too. But I've always been HOF/Superstar/Heisman/All-Madden guy.

yeah shot blocking is pretty suspect

just blocked Gasol with Dwight off the backboard

**apManila24** · 09-11-2009, 05:50 PM

the demo was great and there are too many good things to list so i'll just list the bad.
1. i saw sliding too many times on defense
2. blocking is still a little weird and random. i saw fisher block vince carter's layup attempt once and it was a little weird.
3. i saw the ball going through players a few times and other players going through each other.

other than that, this is a great demo and hopefully some of these problems get tweaked before release.

It's not that I don't like the game Czar. I just don't like certain things about the way EA markets and does business. I think the game still has a lot of work to do. Ultimately it's a game and I can have fun, but I just have questions about certain things that I'm not going to explain here in any more detail than I have.

**apManila24** · 09-11-2009, 05:54 PM

oh yea almost forgot, there were too many times when the cpu stripped the ball from me on defense and my team just stands there. it's starting to get annoying

don't know what you have in mind but THIS year there was no bull... marketing from EA ala gimmicks matter not gameplay

this year was all about gameplay..no bold promises

While I've already commented on a couple of things that I'm not too fond of in the game, I think it's a million times better than '09. Despite my struggles with it, I'm actually enjoying it and I'm sure the final version has a few bugs worked out.

On another note, does anyone have any defensive tips for the All-Star difficulty? I'm really having a hard time. Anyone actually using the defensive assist?

1) The game actually forces you to develop your mid range game (1st time since NBA 2K3). I like the whole experience on offense regarding Guard/ Perimeter play (Offense an Defense). You can't just hard dribble to the basket and ram it down your opponent's throat every play, because the dribblers actually lose the ball in traffic. This tendency is pulled off perfectly in the demo (of guys losing the ball when it gets crowded around them and guys stat bumping into them).
2) Analog passing is back (1st time since NBA 2K3)
3) Defense- Overall (Perimeter and Low Post) it just feels right- I like it.
4) General feel- I know it's a vague comment, but overall I think this game is leaps and bounds ahead of Live 09.

-

1) Control layout- I dont like the passing modifier (LT) on the other side of the controller from the Turbo and the Passing Icons (Y, B, X, A) . I liked it as RB (2K9) or Y (Live 09).
2) They don't seem t have fixed the grabbing the basket out of the cylinder issue (should be a goaltend but it is not called)
3) Post game- I am used to having a post up initiator button and it just doesnt seem right to trust my guy to go into post up when I want him to, or face up when I want him to. It just seems like it takes away from the player control and makes the offensive post moves random, instead of user controlled.
4) Making substitutions- seems like there are rules of who you have to highlight first when you swap guys to make substitutions...in Lakers vs Celtics, you could highlight the guy a the end of the bench then highlight the starter, and the guys would swap. I know it seems like a tiny detail but its just frustrating to be stuck in a menu that was easy to navigate in 1991 but has gotten unnecessarily difficult in 2009.

?

Camera Angles- The Camera Angles in the demo are not to my liking- I usually play from far away on a 45 degree angle so I can see the whole floor and all the passing lanes. Hard to read the lanes and find your open shooters when you are so zoomed in. So we will see what the game has to offer when it releases.
