Plug in a 2nd controller and you'll be KG I believe. You can have up to 4 players in the gym.

That is nice to see, it's something that has been wearing on me in 2K's basketball games of late.

Got in a couple games with the demo, very surprised at how good it is as i haven't enjoyed a Live game since 2000, and more recently the '08 demo was unplayable to me once you left the gym. Quickstrike feels much better this year, the graphics took another leap up, and theres just a solid foundation for a great game. There are, however, things that irk me to where i'd definitely hesitate to pick this game up (only need one nba game). Two things that stand out are the shotblocking (in general but especially on jumpers) and the rebounding. I feel like the former is far too easy and frequent and the latter I feel you have no control over. The playcalling is great, the pick and roll mechanic even better. Everything related to player DNA is excellent, really top notch. The game is definitely fun, but it feels like another year and it'll be ready to seriously turn heads.
