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

I seen something nice while playing against the Celtics.. I was up 14 to 12 with like 4 seconds to go. Celtics in bound the ball to Ray Ray around the Three point line. Ray pump fakes and get buynum to bite, ray jumps into buynum drawing the foul and hit the And 1. The crowd went crazy, i'm telling you it was sick. It was to real for a video game.

*Damn yall i had to edit my post, i put perkins instead of buyum.
I always get the two bumb's mixed up.

I really wish i had the real game to make a video of this, yall would have liked it.

Post Moves.

While in the post - Push the Right Stick (Shot Stick) in a differnt direction (up,down,left,right) for a differnt post move.

While in the post -Push the left stick away from the defender or left/right along with the shot stick in the same direction to peform a post jump shot/fade away.

Press (triangle) on ps3 Combine the drop step and drop step spin with the shot stick(left,right,up,down) for different variations. (Pro Hop) or whatever you like to call it.

Different players will have different post moves...Shaq vs Yao or KG vs Duncan.

thanks

The more I play the game the more different it feels from 2K8, lol, I feel like I need to re learn quite a few things. Right now my bugaboo is blowing by a defender after getting him to bite on a pumpfake. I know this is never been all that smooth in 2K games but I literally can't even get my guy to dribble. I got Ray Ray to bite on a fake with Kobe and I pressed the l-stick but Kobe just stood there.

For the Demo to be so short with no functions, this is easily the best Basket Ball game i ever played. The NBA Live Demo with all the stuff (pratice and whatever else) does not compare.

This thing is fun. No doubt. Dunks in traffic will have to be toned down like crazy... but I'm having a lot of pure fun with it. I can't wait to get some plays... so I can stop running around like little leaguers...

I'm having fun now that I know how to oop.

The demo is pretty decent.

I noticed I couldn't run any plays and that was a turnoff. Other than that, the animations are smooth, isomotion is now some sort of area or position contextual system as I couldn't do my regular crossovers from 2k8.

The AI is still pretty dumb and predictable as passes are easy to pick off.

The stealing animation is better and has more of a risk/reward factor to it.

I don't like the AI being wide open and still taking fade away learner.

Mismatches can easily be taken advantage of. Ray Allen caught Gasol on him and drove to the rim and got the and 1.

what a suprize, another multi-platform game looking and playing best on 360. One day ps3 owners will figure it out

I hate playing console politics, but the 360 doesn't have mandatory Hard Drives so multi-platform games are made on the 360 first and ported to the PS3, thus some PS3 games getting gimped. But it's not like across the board Burnout Paradise wasn't more well received graphically as a PS3 title, or EA isn't building all their games on PS3 first starting last year in order to curb this problem. Both consoles are equal graphically (360 excels at textures and colors, PS3 at special effects and processing - though I prefer PS3 colors); the differences are paying for online, exclusives and the controller. This ain't Congress bro, let's just play some games.


Sorry if this is poorly timed, it was the first thing I saw when I hit refresh.
