So are you still going to to "those other people and that other game"

Dude, this year we have two good options. Control wise I go with NBA Live though

Honestly... I'm glad they don't push it if it looks terrible. We all know what happened with MLB 2k8.

very true i never want to SEE or hear about that darn awfully made game again. brinkman is a complete screw up with that one

The jaggies compared to last years game are much better though. they've been able to handle them even with the sharper more realistic graphics now

I would agree, but the colors are more vibrant in the PS3 version if you are using component on your 360 like I am. The sound is better on the PS3 as well with the 7.1 PCM. If you have a nice surround system listen after you make a shot you will hear someone clapping in your right speaker sometimes on the PS3, but not the 360.

If you have both systems I think both games play the same, but it will come down for people what controller they like better and how much you play online. If you don't care about online or the bigger controller the PS3 version looks a little better with the HDMI connection if you don't have one on your 360. Also, like I mentioned earlier the 7.1 sounds really good. I am on the fence now, but I think I will be leaning toward the 360 for the bigger controller and better online capability.

Are demo's always gold exclusive on Xbox 360? I can't download...

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Tomba, it's a PS3 vs. 360 issue. The textures on the PS3 are a lower resolution than the 360. Just slightly, but those with a good eye will notice.

360 also has AA while the PS3 does not.

I must be one of those with a good eye because I notice that the game doesn't look that great graphically...the textures don't seem to stand out, and players look dull at times...

Do not like both. Never ever did. I tolerated it in 2k7. In 2k8 I just gave up since I felt the control was better in NBA Live 08(I said CONTROL) and just stuck with NBA Live 08. NBA Live 09 is much better letting me do what i want to do with my controller.

But now with 2k9 I'm TRYING to tolerate it because very other aspect is good

It's mostly noticeable from afar and at certain camera angles.

When you zoom in the game looks much better but some textures look just... bad, IMO. Again, PS3 here.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Man Tomba you gotta use the shot stick man. Buttons to shoot the ball are obsolete. Just go in practice mode and play around. You have SO much control man

The only reason you think you don't have control is because you don't know the commands. TRUST when you get it, there will be no turning back

I know exactly what you mean.. but that's a trade-off for the numerous amount of animations in the game. Sometimes you'll get something that you didn't want but IMO, that's rare. It's tolerable and has gotten much better over the years.

You should really learn the shot stick man. Once you understand it, it's very, very good and full of depth.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Blah. I'm working a 28 hr shift... starting this evening at 4pm. No more demo playing for me. I have to find my camera cord before I leave though. Just threw a couple of sick oops to KB24... then Pierce finds Ray Ray for an oop on the other end.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I see many of you saying the controls are much more responsive. Am I the only one having trouble pulling off the isomotion moves at will? I had these almost down to a science last year, but I can't seem to get them when I want them in the demo.
