one quick tidbit from my initial impressions. You can immediately 'feel' the difference between this and 2k10

Thanks, Czar!

That's also delighting for us, PC gamers.

Nice, expected attendance! Dynamic attendance is in again.

THE BLOCKS ARE REDUNKULOUS!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa!!!!!! I'm lost for words. Where do I start. First off, this is not 2k10. So many things that's been improved upon.

Rondo A.I. is the absolute truth!!!!!! He's hitting me with all kinds of moves. Did I fake pass with one arm out holding the ball into a turn around fade away. Had on instance where I got the ball poked away and it was loose going back down the court towards the Celtics basket. Rondos picks the ball up in stride and continues in for a slam. It was so fluid. Had that have happened in 2k10 he would have stopped for a second after he picked the ball up.

Absolutely loving the running around screens, getting open animations, cuts to the basket. It's gonna be a thing of beauty to actually run plays now. Some times down the court you'll see Kobe immediately go down to the box and post up. The defensive fronts.....etc. So so so much.............just wow.

Yep, just hope the PC version gets all of the sound improvements because as blah as 2K10 was in comparison, the PC version was even more subdued.

The player movement is so much better

The directional sizeups work really well

The way the ballcarrier strafes when you feather the stick and switches ball to the other hand when you push the stick all the way just makes so much sense. The footplanting shines there, and you can't get the sliding thats in Elite because feathering the stick means you aren't trying to move quickly. Just makes so much sense.

The variety of jumpers is much better done than in 2K10. Same goes for the intense-D, the arena sounds, the menus, the overlays (like the freethrow how to). Just much better in every way.

Pierce's face, much better than 2K10. I think his set shot animation is brutal though. I think I saw shot animations get altered with contact though (tough to tell, kobe in the far corner) and I blocked the one set 3 Pierce took. The animation for his momentum jumper, however, is magnificent. I wish they'd given him a similar shot out of the post instead of the generic looking one he has down there.

Fisher's set shot, great.

I'm look forward to figuring out the double team system, right stick passes, and offball movement, things I already forgot the game even had. So glad this is on PC as well.
