I know playing on the Pro level will not be ideal for me, but I definitely see that this is the level I'm probably gonna be trying to sharpen my skills at. I can only imagine what the AI is like on the tougher levels. Not that this is some extreme challenge, but I can almost sense the AI trying to execute things. If this build holds true to form, it's almost like my greatest nightmare and my biggest dream come true; a sports game that's smarter than me...scary.
I finally unleash my full abilities on the iso from a broadcast prospective. God... Moves string together very smoothly and the abilities to do the stringing makes it very hard to handle Kobe. I can only imagine what D.Will and CP3 are going to be able to do. It takes masterful defense to stop Kobe from pulling up or taking you to the cup with this iso and the way you can pull.
Loving the on-ball D too. Defensive pressure from artest on Pierce is literally shutting him out. And the rotations are clean. I was constantly out of posi
The fake pass is also very nice. And the ability to post-up whenever I feel like it has transcending my guard play with Kobe a bit...
Did quite a bit of reaching to see how the calls with and Finally even though your bumping your man reach-ins still get called unlike in 2k10 where bumping your man made you impervious to fouls.
The RS is back to defensive cut-off so predicting players movements is rewarding.
The new dunking motions are also very slick. Did a spinning slam on Rondo on a fast break with Kobe and it was very disgusting.
Maybe I'm missing something here but, how the hell do you switch teams!?
You can't.
My first impressions:
Graphics are definitely refined.
The gameplay feels smoother and I have more control than 2k10.
The atmosphere sounds and looks terrific.
The fact that we can't run plays sucks..lol.
I'm not sure if it's me, but the left trigger does not initiate posting up every time.
The defense is definitely there. When I'm Artest guarding Pierce, I am playing him closely and contesting every shot.
Oh yeah, when you make a 3, it still has the same bell sound from 2k10. Live 10 had the sound on point...lol.
Most fun I've had playing a 2K basketball game in a while, had no complaints about the way the CPU scored. No laser passes in the paint just great playcalling and good transition offense.
Really hate how barebones the demo is though, so thank god they game us the dribble moves tutorial because I would be lost w/o it LOL! Really wish I could run some plays rather then just iso'ing all the time...
Overall a good demo once I figure out the new isomotion it should be even more fun. And I'm going to have to figure out the post game maybe I'll go back to 2K10 and brush up on those tutorials.
Okay man, Kobe Bryant is absolutely sickness to play with
Im making Ray Allen look real bad onn here and I mean real bad lol
He did do a sick Dr J like reverse on me though which was unbelievable
The contact inside is incredible.. one of the best done things here IMO.. .People are going to love it.. no suction either
Controls and momentum are going to take some time to get used to... remember the controls are feathered so its going to seem a bit different.
After playing 2k10 just a little while ago... Im never touching that game again and this is jsut a demo
Big Baby was at the ft line and hit a shot... looked behind to get a pound from one of this teammates and noone came over.. he stood there for a sec, then was like ok then, then pointed at ray allen behind the 3pt line... and went about shooting the next
The sig gather is a ridiculous addition and these momentum jumpers... beastly.. No im not hyping this up but it feels really good
Oh and if this is stripped down atmosphere then I cannot wait to see what retail sounds like on my surround sound
