I like that double teams and corner three point shooting seems to be fixed.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
I heard that as well. I just thought it was the one Laker fan in a sea of Celtic fans, either that or Dereck Fisher's auntie sitting behind me. I'm sure that once the real game hits and we have commentary it will be drowned out.
Overall I am really digging this game, so glad I pre-ordered so it will be in my grubby hands on Tuesday. They do such a great job with movement and animation in this game, kudos 2k. I can't wait to play as my Pistons (i'm not actually the owner of the Pistons if you are wondering
).
But yeah, I've had more fun with the demo than I did with the 2 full games I traded for this title.Comment

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
I was just playing and KG got blocked and as the ball was in the air the ref called it out of bounds, before anyone got it or it even hit the ground. How is that possible?
Not sure if this is a glitch that will be part of the full game, but if it was, I hope it's patched.Comment

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
I've noticed a few bugs here and there
Once Fisher was just past half court holding the ball above his head for the whole shot clock
A couple of times now players have spun randomly for no reason at all out of bounds
It's not like I was playing up on them either I was defending at the 3 point line and they would be quite a few steps back, do a spin and go out of boundsComment

this demo is crazy! The attention to detail is unmatched. My 1 year old son was watching me play. I got a steal with kobe and did a rock the cradle dunk from the baseline and my son said "daaaammmnnnn" LOL.... My 1 year old recognizing real game. I can't wait till i can play the full version.
I did notice that the iso motion has changed just a bit...it's some new animations with the ball handling. It's a nice touch to see ball handlers drop that shoulder as they round the corner on a drive to the hole. I'm impressedComment

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
There's not much to add that hasn't already been said about the demo. It's fantastic. I only have a couple observations to post for now.
I am really impressed by the AI of the CPU. When I'm playing with the Lakers it quickly found out that it's not a good idea to have Rondo and KG on the same side of the court whenever the Big Ticket is on the low block because the double team is coming and coming hard. Heh, I show a complete lack of respect for Rondo's jumper while controlling Fisher, having Fish sag into the outside edge of the paint to help drives to the cup from PP and Ray Ray, and dig on all postups by KG and Perkins. After a few possessions, the CPU started running its offense away from where Rondo is standing so that Fish couldn't have much of an impact disrupting things off the ball. Like setting up screening or pick-and-roll action along the baseline with PP and Ray Ray while Rondo stands on the opposite wing and occasionally drifts to the corner away from everything. Clever.
I don't know what his ratings are, but Bynum is beast on this game. He can back down without any problems and put up a baby hook or any type of one-hand flip shot from point blank range on either side of the rim. He can turn and throw down a monster dunk against a who get caught being overzealous and reach for the ball, or "pulling the chair" to try and draw a charge. He even buried a wide open 18-footer on the left wing while I ran a pick-and-pop sequence with Kobe.
By the way, the footwork that can be showcased while posting up on this game is awesome. So many things can be done down there, even while controlling players with limited offensive ability/skill. You just have to be fundamentally sound on execution and also know how to set up the post defender on what you want to do.

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
The demo is pretty awesome..the 360 version does feel more crisp visually and in the controls department. Overall I'm enjoying the AI, animations, overall feel/pacing, and the positives far outweigh the negatives (jumpshots a little sluggish)..now I'm definitely getting 2K9
can't wait to start a franchise

Re: NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
The demo is awesome, been playing it for 3hrs straight yesterday and currently playing again as I'm typing. I dunno if it's cuz this is a demo but I'm playing the 360 and I can't get the alley to work.
I tried LT+A and it doesn't work. Sorry if this has been asked before but is that still the same button to use? or is it cuz it's the demo and I have to wait til the full game comes out to use it?PSN & Xbox 360 - KB24Gold
