Na...Michael on a demo...That would of wet the millions of casual users. Not the whole Jordan Challenge. I was considering having a situation set up for the user to play as the Bulls from behind in the fourth quarter with 4 minutes remaining. Something like that. Not this one player demo with 4 minutes. Its kind of lame in this day and age.

Just takes it for the fast break, no look behind the head dish to PP for a smash. Another play he gets slapped with the reach. Everything is so fluid. I tried to see how far I could walk the dog, and let the ball near halfcourt. Rondo zooms in, scoops it up for the easy fast break dunk. -Moving around in space with the modifier on is sublime. I hate that they removed the walk it up anims, but I love how Fish can handle so fluidly, again. Retreats, pulls up with the between the legs...this is the perfect marriage of control and sweet, sweet mo-cap. -Weakside help is there 90% of the time, which is great. Lots of tipped shots and outright rejections. Seen a few instances of help defenders just jumping at nothing, but it's been greatly reduced. -KG on the blocks is sick. JO is so nice on here too. The sig stuff is bananas overall. The Truth's set shot, SMH. Mom. Ba. He's cheese, lol. Using Kobe is F'n cheese. I did a double spin baseline fadeway with Bean that was just filthy. -Spacing is great, passing lanes are now monitored closely by the D. This year, if you don't have the angle, it's a wrap on the ill-advised pass. It's tough to mentally note all the crazy things you see playing this. Man, great job to all yooz 2K staff.

You just made it extremely hard to not download the demo. I'm a demo feen normally, but I'm trying my best not to download this so it'll all be fresh when it finally gets here.

Sounds like everything that us old heads could ask for, and then some.

Nice writeup Macca

i just came on a couple of pounds man... i am still waiting 2K ...Demo for the ps3 babyyyy Amsterdam is waiting in this piece

This demo is awesome. Isomotion in the past I hated. I mean really hated. Made the game unplayable to me. It's been completely overhauled and this game runs like butta! This will be the only game to get NCAA out of my rotation.

Again, you need to think like a "regular" customer (whatever you want to call it), not like someone who knows almost everything about the game and would pay anything to have MJ (like us?). If 2K did that, these people would be focused on the MJ thing rather than the controls/defense/AI etc. So, for them it would be 2K10+Jordan. Even big MJ fans...would they pay $60 for only having Jordan? I don't know...

Will they release the my player training and draft like last year?

I sense familiarity. The Ultimate familiarity. I think I need to take impressions with a grain of salt, as many liked 2k10 last year. I need to get impressions from those that shared my same opinion of the game. For me, it was unplayable last year. And this game right now, I can't put it down. That may be the ultimate compliment. From beer coaster trash to consuming all my time, in just a years time...

exactly last year player movement was unacceptable. plus i am from amsterdam so didnt get the draft combine i only had my player mode so i had 5 min each quarter. But the player didnt do what i was tryin to make him do so that for me was the biggest reason that 2k wasnt on top of there game. now i dont know yet cus i gotta waith....for 2k to pop up the demo for psn fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i looks better faster smoother...still i gotta go check that ish out myself. i am grown man 2k ..dont let me wait so long...anyway
i think if the players movement is back plus the online modes are without any lag its a wrapp...yah heard 2k??!!! bebe baaaabbbbyyy
