    I didn't care much for the demo.

    Control isn't that great; I expected more. Momentum is very, very heavy.
    Audio missing was obviously going to happen. Detracts from the game, but it's a demo. Par for the course.
    Can't call plays. Kills a lot of it for me.

    I'm not going to state the obvious. There are some amazing things that shows the promise of the final. But all I read about was control... and I expected more.

    I've only had a small sample but initial impressions weren't the best IMO.
    Well, I'm more than willing to eat my words. I finally got a hang of the controls... bravo 2k.

    HOWEVER...

    Momentum still is over done. There are things I'd like to see different in terms of movement overall. I understand when people say it feels stiff, but at the same time you can see there is a respect to movement by a player (steps, footplanting, etc.) that was not there in the past.

    I'd like to see turbo be more subtle and easier to employ. In real life, when you're playing a sport there is acceleration and top speed. While this is less apparent in bball than say, football, it's still something that needs to be accounted for.

    Still... the dribble control is real nice once you get the hang of it.

      I seriously don't know how you guys do it. Because I only played it twice last night. And was done. I thought the improvement were awesome. I want to see some human on human interact really bad.

      I can't wait to actually run plays.

        I hate that camera angle, The feel of the game is enough to warrant me to buy it, But I cannot wait to play it in 2K Cam
        Yea that was one thing that bother me last night after playing it twice. Not really that good at inputting the dribble moves that way.

          LoL... I played it twice two and put it down. The dribbling is way too hard like you stated, I also can't really tell pass lanes at that angle too...

          If I get desperate (Which I don't see), I might play again

            Jeebs, its a demo man. I think most are just taking it for what it is. It SUCKS it barbones....Im just gald we got something early from 2k...Its basically just a teaser of some of the improvements. @ Pared....Yeah, when you put some work in on the controls its awesome...but I feel you on the momenteum...IMO its a necessary evil..

              I am just blown away by this demo. The physics, the animations, the fluidity of the gameplay...it's amazing. Such a huge step up from previous games it's not even funny. I bought Live last year because the 2k games had turned into such a mess, but man what a difference a year can make.

                This demo is stripped down to the bone everyone. All they wanted was for us to feel the controls see how the weight physics feel with the players etc.

                All the window dressing will be there. 2K is the gold standard on presentation and this version will be no different.

                The game feels amazing!

                  No doubt this game will become the NBA game by which all others will be judged against for a long time.

                    I don't understand the issue with the demo. Its not the full game and its only supposed to show you what the game is like, not give you every option or even a full game.

                      Yeah, I haven't had the "wow factor" when playing an NBA game since 2k6, and to some degree 2k7 because of signature shots, but it's like 10 fold when playing this game. I didn't think an NBA game would be ever be this good.

                          I doubt it's my control skills but I'm having some games where I have ultimate control of my dribble moves, and games right after that where I can't do much of anything on the first try. Maybe it's just all in my head but some games feel better than others. I guess its that consistency issue I need to work out

                            Did anyone notice that you can't walk bouncing the ball like we were able to do it in 2K10 (or even 2K9, where we could use different speeds to lead the offense with the man carrying the ball).

                            That sucks, I love to walk through my court cooling down the match a bit. Now we kind of "crawl".

                              Man, ok guys, my impressions are from the ps3 version...I wonder what you game you guys are looking at on the ps3 version sayin' that the grapics have taken a hit! That's not hardly the truth! Peeps sayin' they see jaggies all over, like someone said early in the thread, adjust your sharpness!! I've never had these problems with any game, probably becasue I have sharpness set to 1 or 2 at all times...Moving on to the actual game, I hate that the demo is only 4 minutes of 1 quarter, but what can you do...Its a teaser and I can't wait for the full retail version!! Next, the game feels alive this year, it feels a lot more organic...I mean I never felt this before in a basketball video game, where everytime out see something different than the next!! And all this from a barebones demo stripped down to nothin' has me so excited I would go to Japan for this game if I thought I could my hands on it a couple of weeks early! I'm in love with Kobe (no homo) man it actually feels like KB this year, his sig moves are AWESOME, he should had this style and swag last year when he graced the cover for the aniversary edition!! I absoutley love how a live the ball seems, and the new animations that added to catch lead passes adds a whole other element to the game...You really have to pay attetion to where and how you pass the ball because you can and will pay if you don't! In closing I'm at work typing this and can't wait to get home to try out the iso moves...After reading some more of the posts I have to try the feathering the stick thingy...As of right now, my iso moves with KB are jus' blah at best...My only gripe with gameplay would be, iso moves still seem to be a little behind, but it could jus' be a learning curve. I can't wait to Oct. 5 gets here, man that seems like a long ways a way even more now!! to 2k for what could be the G O A T
                              I'm a diehard St. Louis Cardinals Fan!! Birds on the bat til I die!

                                Must say that the demo in my opinion does exactly what it was meant to do. I dont think that we should be upset or anything, it just gives us a feel for the game and exposes us to the new controls.

                                One thing off the bat that I did notice is how much this game has a live 10 feel plus 2k. (Great Work Wang) I think that this game will meet all expectations.
