Are these Organ songs all new?? They sound amazing. hard to tell if they are that different from the Lakers. im guessing they are. Are they truly MSG specific?

Yea that angle is disorienting almost. The side view works for me much better. But still loving the halftime show. Nice how they isolated the two main players and showed ACTUAL good plays. Very nice man.

That dude was doing some nasty stuff with Evan Turner haha. That behind the back dribble move and layup was sick.

Man i'm loving these videos, they've definitely stepped up in showing us more media. And thanks to OS as well for being...OS.

The halftime show is legit and i'm looking forward to seeing the rest of it, the commentary is fluid and so is the player movement. 3 things i liked a lot. When turiaf spun in the post and went up for a dunk it wasn't overdone or videogame-ish. It was a simple one handed jam and little things like that stand out. Another thing i loved was when the ball was inbounded with 40 seconds left and it was rolled to the point guard so he could get enough time for a 2 for 1 situation. And finally, of course the breakdown of the halftime stats. Can't wait till the 5th man. It's looking like we are going to get us a very memorable game this year.

Nice flow to the game and good commentary.

My eyes became dizzy by watching the two people constantly going up and down the stairs.

NBA2K11 FAQS and IMPRESSIONS:

1) The framerate, graphical detail, and animation transitions are the smoothest I have EVER seen in a sports video game. Absolutely sensational.

2) The new controls are spot on--after you work to figure out the timing and usage maneuvers. HINT: It is very sensitive using L2 trigger dribbling controls. Hammering away left and right and half-circles will get you nowhere. You will look jagged and sluggish. IF, you master timing and execution and move the Lstick deliberately you will get better results.

3) Shooting jumpers off the dribble using the shot stick is absolutely incredible this year. I have NEVER liked using Kobe Bryant in 2K (particularly 2k9 and 2k10..and not because Lebron James is my favorite player THOUGH i know Kobe is better-for now). His jumper didn't tickle the twine like it should and doing his signature moves didn't flow well. NOW?!?!? OH MY GOD. The Black Mamba is finally the MONSTER he should be. And will be and absolute nightmare to defend.

4) The animations are sensational. Wondrous to behold. Paul Pierce's jumpshot (PHOTOREALISTIC), Rando's one-handed ball fake, KG's shimmy pull up mid and PAU GASOL'S BIG ARSE HEAD! lol ...are all some of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in a game. Everytime I saw these things or variations from different players I had a BIG SMILE on my face.

5) People saying it has an NBA LIVE feel to it need to realize the truth here: Mike Wang was the lead designer for 2KSports for years. He left 2k last year and went to EA Sports and helped them turn NBA Live from completely abysmal to oustandingly mediocre but fun. Now he's back at 2kSports were he "belongs". That's a quote from him. His heart is always with 2k. His own words. So anything you think feels like Live actually feels like Mike Wang because Live didn't feel that way before he got there last year. And won't feel that way ever again. Bet on it.

6) THE PRESENTATION IS AMAZING!!! This is only the demo and player introduction pics on the load screen are fantastic!!! The shot of the arena? Fabulous. The "galaxy stars" backgrounds on menus, photos, statlines, and in game subs are simply beautiful. The sound is spot on. AND THEY HAVE A HALFTIME SHOW IN THE FULL GAME.

7) We haven't even fell in love with the Jordan modes yet. OR Played with King James and Dewayne Wade in Miami. Or checked out the new robust My Player and signed endorsement deals.

8) Can you imagine how incredible the full game is going to be? Just.....WOW! lol It's going to be absurd.

9) NBA2K11 will be the best basketball videogame ever made. MARK MY WORDS. Every b-ball game will be judged on this bar 2K has just set. Bravo 2K Sports! Bravo! In the words of Jay-Z: "Clap for 'em, clap for 'em"....

8) 2k11 Demo > EA Sports as a Company. They should just can there basketball sim title now and just make NBA Jam each year. Seriously. I'D BUY THAT!!! lol

Anyway who can play with that camera angle gets my respect.

So happy Amar'e has his goggles and the half time show is LEGIT! I hate getting too far ahead of myself but I think I can honestly say this game is shaping up to be the best basketball sim of ALL-TIME.

PS. Who in the hell plays in THIS camera view? lol

Do you read books upside down as well? Smh...wow haha
