I think there will be more shots off the backboard and ones the rattle around the rim in retail version of the game.

I was just looking at some the videos that have been released and their seems to be more of variety in the on how the ball interacts with the rim in those vids.

So I'm going to stay optimistic on things like this.

I haven't seen any backboard shots either. Hopefully the retail is better. Almost every jumpshot is a swish in the demo. Lay ups and shots close to the basket have some variation, but it still nowhere near the "other" game.

Did anyone notice that you can adjust the sliders on the demo? Just go into MY NBA LIVE 09. You can't adjust the period length, but the rest of the sliders you can.

From Beluba;

"Bank shots are contextual (as they are in 2k8 contrary to popular belief)... but to be honest, I didn't spend much time looking into it for jumpshots. Layups should go glass as well in the proper context. The code basically looks at what angle you're attacking from and then chooses whether to bank or not accordingly. It's a pretty simple function but might not work all that well.

The demo isn't the final code, but it's really close. 95%+ I'd say."

I believe he is incorrect for 2k8 LT would allow you to bank em in

That functionality was in 2k7 but removed in 2k8.

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!

Um, okay, my argument is gettin old? That's my first time mentionin' the backboard. Anyway, in practice I definitely don't see ANY. No, none at all that hit the backboard or the rim and drop in. No....none. I'm about to begin a session, a few rounds of the actual game, and see if I notice any.
