[quote=arden_05;2040180597]This demo has really surprised me thus far
It's leaps an bounds better than Live 09. Here are my quick observations about the demo.
THE BAD:
1) This game needs a faceup (on defense)/backdown (on offense) button. THIS IS NECESSARY! Without these features I don't feel like I'm really playing defense (feels like I'm floating around) and its seriously taking away from the offensive low post experience as well.
On defense if you are more subtle with the stick and combine your movement with the defensive assist button defense is a blast. Actual foot planting and no bodying up and riding players around the court (shouldn't that have been a foul anyway? ha ha). Good thing.
I know there's an overwhelming sentiment for a post up button and I'm certainly not opposed to it but, it does work as is. Again, a subtle move with the stick to engage the defender and you're posted up. Not really hard just different.
I'm loving the game and by Oct. 6 everyone who has spent time with the demo will have all of the controls down. Once you get em down it's a very impressive experience.
