NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[Lagoa]

Hey Guys....i´m play the game...

It´s amazing....but i dont like one think.

I play in LCD 720p, but textures in default camera is VERY VERY LOW if we compare with 2k8!

Jerseys and courts textures in demo are very blur!

This demo is pretty good it hasnt amazed me like most. One thing im not liking so far is The Cpu is doing unnecessary leaners. Also this game is pretty damn jaggy or is it my tv or is it just the Ps3 version cuz 2k8 on ps3 looked jaggy also but 2k8 on 360 didnt. Iv tried adjusting my shot in mid air but have yet to be succesful. I like how they hav Kobe sig free throw when he is tired and has his hands on his knee(hopefully you know what im talkin bout) This little small thing also bothered me when im about to shoot a free throw they show the crowd behind you and i swear there is about 8 dudes with white shirts just standing up looking to sit down.

Do the players feel heavier, like having weight?

And is the post-game improved?

Wow they changed the feel a lot. Obviously if you played 2K8 a lot you can pick up 2K9 and go but you'll notice a difference immediately especially with the Isomotion and player animations (that lock you in.)

Blocks are a lot more common and if you work on timing your swipes it feels like u can actually rip ppl now when they have the ball over their head. Unbelievably I saw a charge a few possessions into my first game, a rarity as you well all know in 2K8.

You can tell they really did work on perfecting the camera angles and I love how players grunt when they dunk hard. I did the Kobe hand switch dunk on a breakaway and it was fantastic.

In regards to the visuals, I'm assuming they compressed the hell outta stuff to keep the demo size low b/c some of the graphics such as the player images when substituting look low-res even on an HDTV.

same here, and this is the first game on ps3 that my tv sets itself to 1080i, every other game it would set itself to 720P.

If you guys remember the 2k8 demo it looked like crap compared to the actual retail game... i mean crap, so thats not unusual

I'm trying and while it is possible they aren't acrobatic at all. Look very odd and unlike anything the star guards can do.
