    Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Impressions (PS3 only for now)

    Seems like more blocking and offensive fouls. And highly contested layups a really hard to hit, feels real.

        Yep, soon as the game is over, the menu comes up for rematch or quit

          Just finished the quarter. Remember I am new to the series so if I state the obvious, cut me some slack.


          Graphics are amazing. The crowd is really into the game, and react appropriately to whats going on. I love the "ceiling" lights glaring off the hardwood, nice touch. The fact that the court is surrounded by those who you would expect is also a neat touch, really drew me into the game.

          Gameplay is phoenomenal. Be back in a sec to detail
          I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

          I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

            Had Rondo trying to drive to the basket with authority and Kobe comes back stuff the ball into the 2nd row, but got called for body contact then Rondo goes falling to the floor. haha.

              I played through a few games (four minutes each I think)...and the game is looking hot. Lot's of jaggies around the players on my TV, but that may be fixable. I had Kobe tie the game with 3 seconds left with a three off a pick when Perkins switched onto me. I think that is the only time I've ever liked Kobe, hah!

              Off the ball doesn't seem to work, and for some reason all I can do is a hop step. How do you do isomotion? The circle button is mapped to pick control. Very confused. Is it just not in the demo? That would suck. That's the one thing I need to practice.

              Other than those two things, the game is looking good. The off the ball movement without you doing anything is absolutely superb. I've scored half my buckets already off of movement the computer did on its own. Lots of fouls too, which is nice.

                yeah, you can just do the rematch and you don't have to reload which is nice.

                    Movement is very different, or at least heavier. They showed Odom's bio when he went to the line jsut now.


                    I took control of Pierce and gave Odom space using the Lock-On D, he thought about it for about 2 seconds then took the pop up 19 footer and missed it. I like that there's that strategy to it.


                    Isomotion feels very different, I'm using to getting stuck in animations and sort of "pre-loading" my next move - you can't do that here. If you do the juke move twice rapidly, Rondo will break his first juke and start his second. This makes it a lot harder to get into the paint.


                    Ray Allen is a ****ing HOUND for screens, he literally runs around every one all the time looking for that catch and shoot.

                    And I chose the Lakers. Man it sucks I have class, can't wait to read what people discovered. My game ended tied 4-4.

                      Well, I had Kevin Garnett get 4 fouls in the one quarter. I am a ferocious defender.

                          Is Isomotion not with the L Stick anymore?

                              I cant make out what the arena announcer says when allen hits a three but i love it. one thing i like is that if you leave the computer open he will take the shot you are giving him
