NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[mackman3]

i was unimpressed with the graphics on the ps3 its jaggie central but i expected that because i didn't like the graphics on the ps3 version on 2k8, can't wait for the 360 demo

Can we just wait until we see what the 360 version looks like also?
2k works from that system.

I'm fine with that. I loved 2K8, but lets be fair here.

Hmm, this is now turning into a pet peeve. I hold aggressive to try and do Isos and I'm starting to just get sucked into some charging animation.


The more I play this demo, the more I love the game but the more terrible I feel at it. And I was pretty good at NBA 2K6 through 2K8.


Does no one else feel like this almost an entirely different game? Man this is frustrating. I guess not entirely different, but I'm really struggling with finding open shots and getting layups. I haven't shot a single layup yet actually, all mid-range, threes or random dump offs to the paint. And I keep repeating it but I'm absolutely useless with Iso and mid-air adjustments.

maybe stop trying to play it like its 2k6-2k8....take your time and play around. with the limitations of the demo just get used to it..

1. 496 MB

2. Nope.

cheers mate thanks for that.

Tiny size of the demo could explain the low res graphics maybe?

Man...

Textures kill me...serious...

Gameplay is fantastic...but my god, NBA 2k8 have REALLY BETTER textures...in NBA 2k8 demo, textures are fine too.

I think i dont play in 720p with this poor textures...

Just me and other 2 guys look this? It´s not possible!

lol what?

Can someone tell me how to take running layups just like Fisher does every 3 possessions? I used to hit those sweet spots all the time in 2K8 but I can't find any of them in this game.



The rest of my offense is starting to open up a little though.


To the other guy, I don't even personally think this is more than a Beta build if anything. I wonder if that clapping sound is a glitch related to certain plays, because it's never been mentioned in any videos or heard before. And directional passing doesn't always work. So I'm not knocking the game because of any of this, jsut observing that the game is pretty different.

One thing that I don't' believe has been mentioned is, they finally fixed those up close layups. This was evident in Steve's vids but playing the game myself you truly appreciate this. Gone are those ridiculous fade away shots when you're directly underneath the basket. A simply layup off the backboard never looked so sweet.

I will definately be getting this on 360 though. Lowered sharpness or not, I would imagine the 360 looks a bit cleaner...

Seriously.

I think he is trying to say he can't play in 720p and have poor... I don't what he is trying to say.

Take a deep breath, and type.

NOT TRUE. I took a backwards-leaning shot from the left of the basket, which both Kobe and Bynum swatted away from Perkins. He was standing right under the hoop, then with a flick of the shot stick he rotated and jumped backward, holding the ball out over his head in the middle of the court. That was the only time I kind of got angry with this Demo so far.

This game i sickkk so many animations.

But i need help with isomotion help me plz

[kobestopper]

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3 Only For Now)

isomotion with kobe is easy to get into the paint. the spins are soooooooo fast. but the game was on pro so i'm sure its harder to drive on higher difficulty

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3 Only For Now)

I dunno man, the only jaggies I saw were in the menus and someone posted to turn down the sharpness. So I did and now I don't see any. My HD set is top of the line tho.
Try pausing the game, going to choose sides, let the cpu play itself and make some adjustments to your set. I did, and this game is absolutely, positively georgeous. I'll still d/l it on my daughter's 360 tho, just to see which is better.

Sorry my english! hahahaha

I try to say NBA 2k9 have terrible textures in 720p!

2k8 is very, very better. I dont think so is because a demo. If camera zoom in textures looks fine....

2ksports fail if full game show this poor textures.

I hope you understand my english! hehehe

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3 Only For Now)

Just play about 10 games (1 qtr a piece)...overall..seems like the same with little adjustments...saw some cool new animations..but I am leaning more towards Live and haven't said that for a while...2K just seems boring to me....

I know I am in the minority and believe me I never like next gen Live....I just hope the dynasty and other features make this a must have...

one thing that confused me was when I was downloading the demo, I notice Live had a 19.99 add on for the updated DNA stuff...Is that right? I can't believe I would need to pay $80 bucks to get the full benefit of Live...
