NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Jesus this game is SICK! I will admit i was leaning towards Live, but within 2 minutes of playing this demo, its so obvious that this game is the superior of the two. Ive pulled some sweet baseline fadeaways with Kobe. Got the 2 man game going with Allen/Garnett. This game is a definite purchase for me I've gotta change my sig. Just wish there were plays available in the demo. Also, I'm having trouble using isomotion. Any tips? Haven't played NBA 2k in a few years.

The game looks and plays amazing. Tons of little details I'm still digesting.

My only gripe is that they don't seem to know who to use. Playing the Lakers, Kobe wasn't getting many shots at all. Fisher was their main man with Gasol #2.

I've gotta say that I'm absolutely blown away by this demo. This game looks and FEELS like real NBA basketball. Kevin Garnett made a block on a Kobe Bryant drive that may be the sickest thing I've ever seen in a sports video game.

Amazing.

I won't go into details about how awesome the game is in just about every single way, cos I'm sure everyone has said that before me.

One thing troubling me is they commented on the ability to jump into the defender to draw the foul when you fake them into the air, and Pared confirmed it was in the game (whether that was because he read the same article I did saying it was back or has seen it ingame) but I can't for the life of me do it ingame. I can get Odom in the air countless amounts of times but can't jump into him. Is there even a special animation for it like in 2k7? Or do you just shoot normally and the ref calls a foul? Can anyone else pull this off?

I know it's not something I'll be doing in the game to score points, just wanted to see how it works in 2k9.

The only time I ever seen it so far is when I was trying to get to Ray Allen in the corner because I was so far away and jumped before he shot it and he just leaned into me

It seems like a small thing, but the grunts & yells add so much to the dunks. I'm still adjusting to the Isomotion, but every once in a while I pull of something that has made me get up out of my chair and yell right along with my player. Big "little" thing.

I haven't tried to get anyone on that pump fake draw the foul move, but Kobe most definitely pulled it on me.
