For those playing on HDTV's, turn down your sharpness level. I had jaggies on my 120hz samsung, and it took away almost all jaggies.
Also, remember that there are recommended viewing distances for televisions. I play pretty close to the tv, but my face isnt smashed up against the screen.

Didnt pared say the 360 version seemed brighter and smoother?
Not trying to start any console war, but I think i remember him saying that?
Either way, im sure they are pretty identical.
Players look spot on, except for ray allen.

PS3 owners, if ur in the middle of downloading and the internet freezes, do u have to start over your download, or can u resume it where it left off? I've been downloading well over an hour, and its only 68% complete

this game is awesome!!! I love everything so far. finally you can block. when kobe was on a fast break I run behing him with allen and blocked him from behind while he was going up for a dunk. he fall on the floor but no foul was given. it looked fantastic and so real.

p.s. you can play the demo on 1080p. just turn off the checkboxes by 720p and 1080i. far less jaggies then.

live is officially terminated

How do I turn my sharpness down? In the TV menu or PS3? Jaggies are rough on 1080P Sony Bravia LCD.

Game is pretty sick though. Saw some NASTY plays thus far. The blocks are sick, and I've had KB24 pull off some just straight up sick things.

Stinks that there are no plays though, and no replays.

Overall, I'm definitely enjoying it.

I felt like if I need too, I could have Kobe play 5-1 and win. He's that darn good.

I love the steal animation. It's awesome. Watching the CPU play is also very, very awesome.

One minor thing though, I still have too many dunks in traffic, but I assume sliders can fix that.

Did I also tell you that shot stick adjustments are amazing?

Also, I have a little difficulty with the isomotion, but I feel I could get better if I play with the right camera and more practice.

This game feels near perfect. On a freaking demo.

Guys complaining about the jaggies realize one thing. the ps3 does not have anti aliasing built in, the 360 does(4x of it), it was decision by Sony to not have anti aliasing built into the system for whatever reason. that means dev's have to go above and beyond to get jaggies out of ps3 versions...the retail won't be much different.

Gotta love the 360!. But man i cant wait to download the demo tomarrow morning! Thank you microsoft! Is anyone posting videos just to give us 360 users something to look at while we wait??

Correct. 360 has the dedicated graphics card; PS3 would have be emulated via software.

pared, is the broadcast camera angle closer in 2k9?

I wouldn't say it's closer. Looks the same to me.

What happened to ISO, I'm trying to do some moves with the right stick, and my players keep putting there back towards the hoop, what is changed?

Hey Guys....i´m play the game...

It´s amazing....but i dont like one think.

I play in LCD 720p, but textures in default camera is VERY VERY LOW if we compare with 2k8!

Jerseys and courts textures in demo are very blur!

you're not the only one. This ppl. are just too excited that they didn't even pay attention to how the game look visually. The crowd got higher texture quality than the court and player and the overall atmosphere on the floor. Everything turn into HD when theres a cutscene which the gameplay graphic look nothing like is so BS.
