I don't want to make this about Elite. I'm simply referring to what I've heard from others and what I knew going in this year.

What's funny is those that had huge issues with 2k9/10 are acting like the control of the player is THAT different. All it took was a few inclusions to win those "detractors" over. There's lot to be happy for, but I'm not going to blow it out of proportion based on what I've seen in the demo. I have a feeling the full version will be different enough to please me.

i also see where they've dummed things down instance responsiveness is very alive in the game to a certain extent into 2k10 the moment you pressed why a palyer wold get up jumping but in 2k is a has to turn around because his opponent is directly behind him his jumping is slightly delayed it makes for open shoots or a player foudn open to actually have time to make his shot. I think this goes into the whole defense sacrifice thing in 2k10 there was no real sacrafice for defense

Detracts from the game, but it's a demo. Par for the course. Can't call plays. Kills a lot of it for me. I'm not going to state the obvious. There are some amazing things that shows the promise of the final. But all I read about was control... and I expected more. I've only had a small sample but initial impressions weren't the best IMO.

Yes the momentum is extremely heavy. I got used to it after about the 10th demo game, but you hit it right on the head. It was heavy to the point of being stiff, but then I just realized that laying off turbo helped immensely with the heavy momentum.

Are you saying Pared is a turbo addict?

Seriously, I agree with you. Turbo should only be used when a defender is out of position and you want to explode to the hoop.

I so suck at this demo because I never play from the side cam. 1st play of the game Ray Allen drove baseline and dunked. Fake passes are so awesome, really can free up space for an open jumper just by doing a fake pass.

Need to find me some controls list. Few times I wanted to do an alley oop but couldn't because they changed the controls for it.
