NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[JackTheRipper]

I guess I'm too hung up on college hoops. How do you isomotion? Any insight here?

The Celtics just had a two on two break against me, and Ray cut to the elbow, spun off his defender and drained the jumper. All in one smooth motion. It looked incredible. He was hitting everything last game, had 10 of their 12 points lol.

I am starting to get settled in on defense. I went back to my old days where I control either the big man on defense so I don't have to guard the ball out front and so that I can help out on defense. The one thing that I have noticed doing this is how sometimes after screens, I get caught in a mismatch and if there is an opportunity, myself and teammate will switch back so that we are better matched up.

hope that made sense.

Also, I love the blocks on this game. I block Gasol from behing awhile ago. Freakin' sweet!

I'll try to find out.

OMG...I just fouled Fisher hard on the drive with Rondo and Fisher fell to the floor, rolled around a few times and was holding his ankle. When he finally got up he was limping big time...I have never seen that, it was so cool

For all those complaining about the graphics... are you on an HDTV?? Maybe your settings are not right???



Like I said earlier, the game looks rough. If you were able to see the 360 version you'd see the difference. It's not slight. It's noticeable.

Anyways, glad you guys are enjoying it.

the graphics look fine to me.

off the wall thing, but I keep noticing this one guy in the crowd pacing back and forth. He walks from one end of the aisle to the other and then goes back and so on and so forth.

As a 360 owner, this late demo feeling is odd....unfamiliar. I'm at work anyway but still. If these are the shoes you PS3 guys walk in, I don't like the fit. Let's go back to the way things normally are: we get the demo first, you get it...whenever.

Its the little things, If the cpu shoots and misses and the ball is about to go out of bounds, your computer teammates will not chase it out like dumbies, they will let it go..Ball rim physics has been tweaked even more, very very realistic, maybe better then sonys nba inside series.
