yup, your onto something.

I'm liking these icons for off-ball movements and double teams.

Hey Czar, this demo build the same one you've been working with? Minus of course the limited team and menu selections.

This game is really smooth. Getting my arse handed to me though, as I'm getting used to the controls. A few things I've seen:

-Bad long court pass ended up with Kobe chasing the ball down and fielding it with one hand under the basket. Made for a nice little fast break play

-Pierce stumbling on a cut to the top of the key

-Momentum in general feels nice

-You can definitely feel the differences control-wise between the players

-Very nice assortment of layups and inside shots, I'm sure I haven't seen them all.

I know what I'll be doing on 10/5.

I've accidentally ran plays for Kobe a few times. You have to use the LB button to somehow get a red circle under the player you wish to run the play for, then click a face button (A,B,X, or Y) and play art will show up.

I'm in love. It's like live 10 and 2k had a baby.

Yeah THIS its tricky to do consistently though.

I'm in love with this game... It is nothing like 2K10 and as others have mentioned it does have a feel of a older 2K game. The animations, presentation, crowd involvement in the game and overall the entire game just feels new and much improved!

I only got a chance to play one game before heading to work this morning, but I got to see how great it feels to actually be able to blow by garnett with kobe or to feel the weight in the players rather than all the players feeling the same...

I can't wait to go home this afternoon and burn my eyes playing this demo... I can't wait for October 5th!

Woah, my first post was quoted by Da Czar haha.

Care to elaborate on the timing of using the LB button for the demo Czar (or anyone else who has figured it out so far)? It seems in your 10 days previews that the LB button will have a display when pressed in the actual game, yes?

Why would they only allow the Lakers to be able to play? Can you play 2 players?
