Poor defense by Rondo/stumble.

I will start off by saying I am a pure 2k guy but I decided to download the live demo to see how they improved. After playing the demo I still prefer the actual game play and the fluid animations and signature shots of 2k. If you are a live fan, I think you will really enjoy the game this year. Live definitely has some sweet features to their game that 2k may want to take a look at. If I could have the features of live with the gameplay of 2k, I would have one killer game.

-The quick strike cross-over isn't quick at all and it's unresponsive
-All the player models look like offensive linemen (Just look at Ray Allen)
-And everybody keeps talking about sig shot, but so far everybody shoots the same to me which is pretty boring (Kobe shoots like Allen, Garnett shoots like Fisher, etc. All the same to me)

The one thing that is cool is the bodying up with the defender instead of having a lock on D magnet

How do you switch players in The NBA Academy????
(ex. pierce to r. allen)

I like alot of things in this demo! I like the player models, the intuitiveness of the player-controlled and automatic playcalling, the automatic doubleteaming, the variety and intuitiveness of dribble moves, the presentation, the signature player style, etc. Yeah, the demo is fun, but......it does have more of a arcadey feel and look to it, though. Which explains Kobe's fadeaway-it's straight out of NBA Street Vol 2.
It may not be enough to be considered a real baller, but I favor alot of things about it, especially the controls and graphics.
