    I just found it. I'm not sure how I did it but Rondo did his infamous "pivot-fake-pass-layup" paint move. I can't believe that you can actually do that in this game, it's unreal!

          I'm wondering the same thing, all I can pull off for Isomotion is the clockwise motion for a spin move, nothing else works for me. Even at a standstill w. Rondo or Fisher and flicking the stick back and forth does nothing, doesn't change hands or anything. What am I missing?

          Moving on, layups are by far the biggest improvement in gameplay so far. It feels so much better, you don't get stuck in that annoying 6-10 foot range where I guy like Kobe will shoot an awkward pull up instead of busting into a strong layup animation. Not to mention the actual layups are much, much better.

          The graphics are improved but not as huge of a jump as I expected from the screenshots. I'm definitely seeing jaggies like most people on PS3.

          The players also feel like they have more weight to me this year despite the fact that there is still sliding. I dunno, it just feels better to me, more realistic.

          The game feels quite a bit different from 2K8 but that's not a bad thing, it also doesn't help that I cant Isomotion to save my life right now.

            This demo is so good, it has made me end my strike/holdout from OS. This demo is so good I had to say something. I have played the Live 09 demo and after this it is going to be very hard for me to go pick up both. If the demos are any indication of how good the games are then it means 2K9 for me hands down. Anybody who plays ball knows this game is sick!!!!
            I know the spot in BG, Ohio will have Live 09 tomorrow and possibly 2K9 if not then they will have 2K9 on Saturday. No way in hell am I now driving down to get Live 09. Looks like a road trip after my sons Football game. Peace!!!!!

BUT i ask you this, are they making alot of and1s? thats my biggest gripe. you see maybe 1 or 2 a game, maybe 4 at the most, but here youll see 2-3 a qrt with fouls set high in 2k8. so now if fouls are called and and1s arent always made, itll be a dream
                  I had three and 1's in a row. 2 with Pierce, 1 with KG. (all layups)

                    The routine is good and the way he bends over is good, but the way he flicks the ball when he shoots is not.

                      Lowering the sharpness just one notch on my TV did WONDERS. It's absolutely beautiful now. Didn't even think to do that. Smoothed out the small little jaggies I was seeing. game looks REALLY nice.

                      I don't know how to do any dribble moves though. Def need help with those. Not like last years version I don't guess.

                      Kobe dunked on Ray Ray, and went back and dusted off his shoulders, it was funny as hell. Just smirked and brushed those shoulders.

                        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.
                        Are you running the game in 1080p?

                        In order to do this you have to uncheck 720p and 1080i from the XMB. 2K supports 1080p but goes to 720p anyway for some reason so you have to force the PS3 to run it.

                        It helps in 1080p for the jaggies.

                            Same here. Sometimes I do highly effective dribbles to blow by a guy but have no idea how I did it.

                              To all the people talking about the Iso motion controls, I have a feeling that they are very limited in demos. From what I remember last year in the 2K8 demo it was very noticeable that you could not complete a lot of the dribbling moves. Maybe because this is a demo, the 2k staff left out some of the iso moves like they did with the subing, running plays, watching replays, or changing camera angles.

                              The full version should be a little easier to do most of the iso moves.
