I'm with you homie, I was scared for a minute when I downloaded the ps3 version. You wanna talk about jaggies, MAN. On my tv as well the 360 version anti-aliasing is way better hardly any jaggies.

KDRE hopefully i get the game today and i am planing on putting out a few game play vids with teams that haven't been shown all that much

I've been able to do that too but im not talking about a leaner. Let me know if you come up with anything because i'll be there in a heartbeat.

I concur, the 360 version looks much better. I had the ps3 version first and wasn't at all impressed with the graphics. After downloading the 360 version i was pleasantly surprised.

The leaners are so nice. For anyone having problems, make sure you're pushing the shot stick left or right (camera-relative, as always) instead of pulling it back like normal. Remember they said that the leaners, runners, and floaters are on-command this year.

I do agree that there is too much suqaring up with the normal jumpshots... but if you use the shot stick, you can remedy some of that with the leaners when they're coming off screens. Alley-oops are beautiful -- I hit Kobe several times on the break and they were all normal dunks instead of some crazy 360 BS like would happen in 2K8.

I'm hoping that they fix the hitch that exists when you jab step and then try to shoot quickly (think Melo) -- there's a huge delay that totally ruins the timing.

Heh, I did "rock the cradle" with Kobe going baseline. The best part was that it was basically a contextual animation and he avoided the defender coming from the left with the dunk motion itself and then finished as he flew by.. DC would probably still complain because it was in-traffic, but I loved it due to the appropriateness of the whole thing. And yeah, I managed the Rondo ball fake move in the post on the break.. it surprised me and I was dying for a replay option.

m-dogg, I agree...the right analog stick on post defense shouldn't have the same actions as it does on the perimeter, just like the stick lays it in up close or shoots from far away. I think pressing toward the offensive player should press into his back, left or right you react/shift in that direction (like walking/running it's pressure sensitive so you could recover) and towards the basket puts your hands in the air.

Yoooo I was driving, and Pierce was standing under the rim, Kobe by himself took a side step to not get the charge before he went up,..... TIGHTTTT!!!!
