yeah I can cross this game off my list. after spending more time with it, simply put the game is more frustrating than fun. When it works right, the game is amazing. Sadly the controls and sluggishness prevents it from working right alot. I thought they were redoing isomotion this year? that was lies, it's just as clunky and unresponsive as ever. I guess this year it'll be NBA Jam as I don't feel like updating 2k7 for another year.

Although this is the barest of bones when it comes to demos, some things are self evident, at least to me:

1) The physicality between the players, something I thought was lacking in the video footage we've seen, definitely is improved, not to mention the overall feel of the game. It plays and feels lightyears better than it looked on some of those earlier clips

2) 95% of the halfcourt passes I tried were deflected or intercepted, much to my joy. It also seems that they take the player attempting such a thing into consideration. I was marginally successful with D-Fish, but it was only once or twice, trying that with the bigs will sink the cheesers quite appropriately

3) Overall there's just a level of polish to the gameplay that's already satisfying, I'm salivating for the final product now. 2K10 made me jump ship for a year, if they can make sure all the elements are working "out of the box," this could be the classic they're hyping it up to be....

From what I've played so far, I've come away impressed.
- The shot selection is amazing, momentus shots, just everything.
- Player movement is a lot better, not clunky like last years.
- Presentation was impressive, bringing in the TNT producer really helped and you can see it.
- There's more I could say, but what can I say, I'm going back to the demo.

One last thing, Ray Allen looks a lot better than last year although still a bit weird looking. I'm satisfied with though. I couldn't stand looking at Ray in 2k10.

What I liked:

• New moves (especially with my man Kobe)
• Seeing the outside of the stadium
• The intro
• MUCH harder to score in paint, which lowers the cheesers.
• Extremely smooth, especially compared to last year.

What I disliked:

• The graphics seemed to drop down from last season.
• When KG is in the post he was unstoppable even when Double-teamed. When he shot it hooked in the post it hit the very top of the backboard.
• Too easy to hit a fade away. Cheeser move.

Evil..pure evil that we can't switch to the Celtics. You don't know how much it pained me to put the beats on Ray Allen for 10 quarters straight.

You guys have been able to do this move?

I can do the ball fake into the fade (franly something I've never seen him do) but not what he did in that vid after the pump fake.

the graphics dont look right to me its like they tried to hard// d fisher look funny kobe always looks bad , and rondo i dont even wanna say what he look like lol i'll gamefly this 2 see if i like the final product better

[ehh]

Like the demo a lot, the momentum and spacing is finally dramatically improved. I really need to get the hang of the controls, I have a mix of CH2K8 and Live 10 stuck in my head.

Overall the game is going to be insane, just want those darn playbooks!
