Found this video showing moving screens, and thought I'd post it here...

There are no words to describe how great this is.

It is on default gamestyle AND pro. Don't forget this fact as it is important.

But if the game becomes as ridiculous as Live '10 was in the paint then I know I personally won't be a happy camper. The game shouldn't make NBA bigs lose the ball as if they were 5 year olds at the Y to simulate "paint traffic."

They could've fixed that simply by upping the hands in the paint rating but alas I digress. I agree it shouldnt be that simple to lose your handle and I've seen no such thing so far in this demo

I disagree with Pared. Live 10 was fine when all players could lose the ball easily in traffic. Now for 2k I don't think they have to lose the ball all the time, but bigs and all players should be forced to pick up dribble more and lose the ball.

No NBA player dribbles much in the paint. If users want to over dribble in the paint something bad has to happen. That makes it actually fun to score in the paint because you have to be smart. I hated when they patched Live 10, pretty much ruined the game for me (user v. user), same thing happened with 2k8.

Seeing some terrible things in the demo. I'm on offense and the Celtics got called for a defensive 3 seconds but they gave the Celtics the ball. Hope that's not in the retail.

Then it was an presentation (overlay) bug, or you're crazy.

My only issue is that the whistle comes too fast. But that would be the essence of nitpicking.

Over-dribbling had nothing to do with it. It would happen too often.

People were looking for fixes for a reason. Hell, they started playing on Pro with sliders because it was so ridiculous.

But you're welcome to your opinion. If 2k11 goes that route, expect the complaints here as well.

The "one hand up" on D is automatic. It has always been for show, not sure if that is the case this year. I'll find out.

Can you manually contest jumpers in the demo without leaving your feet? If so how?

[Pared]

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

Same as last year - lock on with LT, if you're close it happens automatically. No manual contest.

I feel like I'm nit picking by saying that I wanted to hear more authentic Staples Center audio when the Lakers are in possession or on defense. I love the game but I'm hoping the full release will replicate the Staples Center experience more accurately. Damn... I feel like a total *** just saying that.

How do you call for a screen?

I feel no shame in nitpicking because I never let it determine if a game is good or not. I don't use them as excuses to say the game sucks or that I won't play it. I use them as points to make the game even better.

I'm not a fan of basketball video games but I'm impress with this demo.

I think I may have found a pretty bad glitch, I hope its just because of the demo, but if not this needs to be addressed...I don't want to expose it here, and it doesn't happen every time I have tried it, but its consitent enough... If a mod or a higher up pm's me I will tell what it is.

Still loving the demo btw, just hope this little glitch gets handled during the retail version.
