Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

first shot i see in 2K9, Pau Gasol (CPU) takes a jump hook against the side of the backboard.

sigh.

for the rest it looks pretty good, has a nice flow, nice animations. still gotta find a way to defend cuz i'm getting torched atm.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

i've played 2 games as Lakers and 2 games as Celtics, 2-2 against the CPU...
-not sure about the ps3 version but the 360 has nice smooth graphics, no jaggies observed...
-i have to say very nice and improved yung player details nila... PP,KG and KB24 faces are spot-on imo..
-i like their little touch during the replay that when you get a dunk, the screen shakes... also like the tumble animation during layups / fouls
- PNR is not that effective anymore, yahoo!
- the double clutch move is pretty nice, but a bit difficult to execute but i was able to pull a couple with KB24
- FYI, the color commentary not available sa demo

with that quick impression with the demo, i'm sticking with 2k (as usual,hehe)...
can't wait..

Yea 360 version looks good AND I have a regular tv (SDTV), can only imagine it with a real tv

And it is good to see you can't abuse that damn Y-Button Drop Step anymore

I didn't read through the whole impression thread so if it's already mentioned I aplogize.

But did anyone notice Rajon Rondo's hook-fake under-the-basket thingy? (One he fakes going up with 1 hand under the basket, turn around and lay it up on the other side)

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Saw atleast 4 "sweet shot" animations that last about 15-20 feet. the ensuing layups or shots are missed though. thats through about 20 minutes of game footage. I really need to get a hang of isomotion. its weird but I get sucked into a backdown postup animation when im just holding the right trigger and using the L stick. I'm getting better but I wont make that excuse for the game. if its me, ill know its me. if the game ill know that too. more on that later... I will say I love the steal animations. many are so seamless The DYNAMIC AI though where my teammates are running around and trying to get open is a breath of fresh air. I may never need to run a play. I like it alot

ray allen happy after getting fouled.. Cutscenes are spectacular

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

this game is pretty awesome. the movement off the ball is amazing. the game plays so smoothly too and the graphics are great. the new isomotion controls are gonna take a little getting used to though. i had a crazy dunk with kobe that gave me goosebumps. i recorded it with my camcorder since my laptops being repaired so i cant use my capture card. ill upload a quarter as soon as i can.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I just played a couple games. It plays the same like 2k8...slow in response. All the animations are like slow motion....WHYYYYY didn't they go back to 2k7. It almost seems like the processor doesn't have enough power to keep up with the high quality graphics and therefore what you see is slow motion. That's exactly what the gameplay is like. It's like you're playing a game with an underpower machine. I am not impressed with the slowness....it feels the same like 2k8 which i hate. But it appears to speed up a bit...but the animations makes the game slow. i don't know to explain it ...if you play 2k7 and then 2k8 or 2k9, you know what i am talking about. 2k7 is so easy move the player and feel VERY RESPONSIVE!!

Everything looks great from graphics models to crowd. Although no audio..no commentary...no play calls.

Damn, lucky you. I only had one attempt with Ray Ray on a 3-1 fastbreak but it got deflected lol.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Glad to see the jump into the defender animation has returned. I tried to jump at Ray Allen after I got beat around a screen and I damn near killed him when I went for the block

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I saw a block on a fastbreak. Kobe stole it and gave it to Fisher and I went for the layup but KG just BATTED my stuff off the backboard. I'm gonna love this game.

[lebromelo]

demo glitch?

did anyone else get a glitch where u can play to the third quarter in the demo? or thats where my game stopped. ALso in halftime the camera followed my team the lakers to the lockerroom hallway where u can see all the players just standing around in a room.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

ok i d/l the 360 version and compared to the PS3 the 360 version is way more sharper but the colors are more saturated in the 360 compared to the vibrant colors in PS3

camera angle seems farther back in the 360 version while the PS3 looks like its using the showtime cam...

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I hope this isnt problem in the real game. But i drove to the basket with kobe and he was about to do a pump right handed dunk so i was gunna try to see if i could make him do a reverse layup out of it and then all of a sudden he flew past the 3pt line like superman and hit a turnaround jumpshot.
