I really enjoyed the demo. The 1st thing I noticed is how much smoother the controls feel. In 2k8, it felt like the animations got in the way of feeling like you had control and that seems much improved now. The animations are still awesome, if not better than 2k8, but I actually feel more in control of them.

I thought the graphics were a nice step up from 2k8, too, especially the skin textures and player faces. My wife said, "That's the jaggiest game I've ever seen," but it doesn't really bother me. I kind of expect 2k's games to be jaggy. It still looks great, though. I'm playing on a 46" 1080p Samsung LCD and the videos I saw online really didn't do the game justice.

Definite purchase for me after playing this demo.
