NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

I wonder if they changed game speed in the simulation sliders.

While this is a demo, the fact still remains that it's a demo of the game to come. To all the people who say, " it's a demo " for a crutch on why some things are the way they are in the game, don't think things are gonna change drastically when you buy the full game. It's never THAT much different - especially with 2K Sports.

I dont try and and1 may way around the defender, or use 3 or 4 different types of isomoves I gave up on it but people said it takes time so im still trying to get it down but i just cant get it. the more and more i try the more and more i run around the court, or do just a simple left to right crossover, or do a sizeup when i didnt intend to maybe i need a practice mode with no d in front of me to get it right first, or an absolute relative control scheme I think i said it in another post on here but what gets me by a defender or creates separation is only because its on pro diff and kobe blows past how ever is guarding him i know its not about doing this and that with the ball but once again i cant do nothing but a simple left to right or right to left crossover on a consent basis. while that works sometimes i get tired of doing that and want to do something else

I think all demos should include a mode with you alone in the gym to work on moves and stuff...

Here is what you do. Work on the sizeups first. Come down on the right side of the floor with the ball in your right hand and only work on holding left trigger and pushing left stick to the right. Then work or breaking out of that at different times... So break out early and go left , early go rignt. then medium and then let it finish....

Then do the same thing but add a cross after you break out by holding left trigger and moving the left stick back to the left after you break out to the right. Build step by step .

By watching the sizeups you get a feel for the rhythm and when is the best time to break out. If you play with that rhythm all the moves will flow seemless

this is my main gripe so far...ive done everything in that video the guy has shown but it seems to me its not consistant and what i mean by that is i could practice a move before i even get near a defender and it still doesnt always do it

I bet the camera relative moves are doing you in. In the final I think they have an absolute options. Just pick one move and try it as your bringing the ball up the floor. Start with a crossover left trigger left stick to opposite hand. If he is not doing it your probably not moving from camera relative left to right. look at your hand to verify. Then only after you have that down pick one other move and then when you have that down link them together.

The movement in this game is stellar absolutely the most realistic I have ever seen in a basketball game. The way momentum actually matters in so many ways in this game is just a thing of beauty and Czar is absolutely right in his assessment. As a basketball fanatic, I find the fact that you can actually create space from your defender by realistically getting them off balance ie leaning one way and using their momentum against them is a far more true to life represenatation of the cat and mouse between the ball handler and the defender than anything that has been presented to date from both games. When you finally "achieve isomotion" what this game has to offer is just unprecedented. As a lifelong Michael Jordan fan I was already on bored when I found out he was the cover athlete. But after getting my hands on just a bare bones demo I am absolutely salivating at the thought of the most accurate Jordan playing experience ever in a video game pull up Js, the signature MJ footwork, (which is evident in the "Kobe doing work video" posted earlier) the off ball working off screens to get a good look it's overwhelming. And that's not even speaking about the improved physics, or all new passing system including animations for having to catch bad passes. Or the improved defense this is just Amazing.
