Same thing for when it's in the left hand but with opposite left stick movements, if that make sense lol

So you can pull of stuff like this?

WOW! I must say I just got home from work DL'd the demo and played it for about the last hour. 2K has finally gotten a post game, I mean one that actually works!!!! I love it! I also love the animations and the player models this year. I must say this is the first time in a while from 2K that I feel I am actually getting a "new" basketball game from them.
For anyone still on the fence about the game if you haven't downloaded the demo yet do so..The controls are a lil different than in the past so it took a good 10-15 mins to get used to the new mechanics but they work really well. I already have both 2K11 and Elite pre ordered from Gamestop, I'm thinking I might just get Elite for nba jam then return it after entering the code for Jam, but I'll give that one a try too. BUT 2K11 HAS ME SOLD THIS YEAR JUST FROM A 4 Min DEMO!!!!

Well in the demo, KG didnt care that he was wide open, he just continued running the set play curling back under the hoop and over to the 3PT line, meanwhile Rondo kept dribbling as this happened without attempting a pass. The A.I. will also do these slow attempts at the rim where theres 3 defenders waiting and they go up and get blocked. Its too easy to time your blocks now because the A.I. doesnt anticipate and seems to lack any offensive awareness.

The A.I is on pro difficulty though, right? Still that seems disappointing since many people are saying how the A.I has a wide open 3 and just decides to go for a layup.

But this DEMO shows the player movement of the 2k series has been completely revised. As a matter of fact, I'd go as far as saying it feels a lot like Live did, which I'm sure has something to do with Mike Wang coming back to 2k. Perhaps you just need some practice with the sticks!

no it's not like live, wish it was then I'd be pretty happy. when i move a certain direction, decide to dribble a certain way, or shot.... well it should happen right then and there, not seconds later. 2k7 had movement great, and every year it just gets worse.

I've seen this, but only on a very small scale. I've left the AI alone plenty of times only to have them take a good shot. It seems hit and miss. As far as KG goes, he's shooting the ball every time I leave him open. Lovin this demo!!! I posted this earlier and was pumped about this, it might be worth another print:

Just played a game and executed a move that had me jump off my chair.....Had Kobe in the post against Allen on the wing, hit the "b" button for a pass fake and (out of the post) Kobe executed a "Jordanesque" ball fake with one hand pump to his right side, Allen bit and I pulled off a fadeaway jumper.....Money! Wish I had that on video. Damn that was sweetness!!!
