Just finished playing as the Celtics vs Lakers. I had a blast with the demo. On one play Fisher was covered in lane and he passed it back out didn't force anything. I have been a 2k guy for a long time. Now im not really sure which NBA game i want.

Loved the demo, wasnt a big fan of the dribbling and its animations. It definetly had its moments, there just wasnt enough animations. I also didnt like the pressure defense (forgot what it was called) from player to player. I personally didnt think there was enough animations there either. The biggest improvements I found where the Lay-ups, woah were the amazing. The dunking was good too. Great demo, just hope I didnt see all the animations yet, I killed the demo, I must have played like 20 games already. Big fan this year =)

As far as the animations, I assume you're talkin' about crossovers, hesitations, etc. What really gives me an immediate good feeling when testing a basketball game is feelin' like every move that's legal in organized b-ball is represented, and intuitive to pull off. Every possible move seems....possible, to me. The controls and animations....and the lay-ups are great, IMO!

Damn, I guess it's time to change my signature.

Has anyone made a shot off the backboard yet???? The shots seem either hit or miss. No off-the-rim shots, no bouncers, no miracle-roll-ins, no....you get the point.

Forget it, sig stays.

Without the backboard, Timmy Duncan is gonna have a hard time in this game, eh?

You argument with this is getting old my friend. Obviously you haven't watched the videos that have been posted in this thread. The HD videos and the others I've posted as well. There have been many backboard, rim rolling shots made in quite a few of them. Don't act like you honestly haven't seen a few already. I've played the demo almost 80 times and I've seen different things over and over again. Including the shots you say that aren't in there. Everything isn't a swish!
