Couple of things

KG can get his fadeaway blocked in the post same as the other game

Isomotion feels different but controls about the same, not as herky jerky

Pace feels really good IMO, I dont think the demo is as fast as what we saw on the vids

Ray Allens jumper does feel too slow

no commentary, no plays, no sliders, and some of the textures to me look like zombie players...its a demo though

The beginning presentation is nice to watch while the game loads

PP sig ft shot in the game

game feels a little different but if you love 2k much then you'll love this

teammates run around screens, set pics, etc... which is nice for a pace

variety of layups and stuff when you drive with the shot stick and no not like what PP did in that first trailer, just game situation layups, a nice touch

Its easier to strip guys when you're under the basket and they're running a break on you and tries to go for a layup

Im kinda indifferent at this moment, havent played enough but alot of you guys are definitely more excited than me

Oh and KG doing windmills and stuff on people DC is gonna puke

I also tommy'd on Lamar with KG and swore I heard him scream when he dunked it aaaaaaahhhhhhh

Off to play more

Is the CPU the only one who could make subs?

Pretty cool after the fact you realize someone's stuff got smacked off the backboard. Even your teammates will help you and do it sometimes for you if someone tries to drive in the middle of 3 players for a shot

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.

Good point.

Derek Fisher is a god in this game. He drains 3 after 3 after 3. AND does anyone feel that its very easy to drop the 3 point bomb at any given moment? I am comfortable saying that I can hit 60-70% at ease in this demo. In fact, my last game I threw up all 3's and hit 8 of 9. GREAT Demo tho.

I wouldn't be surprised if the demo is on Pro difficulty. It usually is. And then when the game comes out and start to play on All-Star or Superstar they start to cry because of how hard it is.

Yeah man but you still go for steals without moving your body. They just slap at the ball from a stand still motion instead of moving/lunging to get the ball. Next year thats a must

The play I described with Fisher/Kobe involved Fisher lunging about a foot to poke the ball. Most times I hit the steal my player moves a lot, usually curling around a player trying to get the ball from behind?
