Tried to play a head to head match online and it froze while searching...

HOLY. ****.

For the first time since 2k11...I was actually able to beat someone off the dribble (with Westbrook) just by being faster than him. No magical defenders sliding in place, he got beat and was too slow to recover.

Now, the demo lets you change sides between the Heat (who they automatically put you on) and the Thunder.

As for the Online portion it is an Online Quick Match. Presumable it's 1 quarter but I'm having dribble with the dribbling right now. I'm forced to do simple things (A cross or a hesitation), then hold turbo to beat Mario Chalmers .

Oh, and yeah. It's going to take a while to get used to holding the left trigger to get shots off. Feels more natural just to tap X if you want to finish in the lane.

Aw man this feels so much better than 2k12.

Just finished a ONline game and it was smooth but what amazed me was the DEFENSE. The defense is crazy this year it's like you can actually play D for once now.

Very glad to hear we have a choice between the Heat or Thunder. This demo can't download any faster!
