NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[DirtyJerz32]

Play 3 games and I will say that either they made the court bigger or made the players smaller. Either way I love it. The spacing is just perfect. Last year everyone would get bunched up in the key. Hated that.

The game seems so spot on. GF came down in the game room and asked what game I was watching. She loves Ray Ray from He got Game. I said it was the new NBA 2K9 video game coming out next week and her mouth dropped. WOW! is all she could say. She actually sat down and watched me play. That never happens.

Samsung 60 HDTV and there seems to be a white line around the players when they do close ups. Maybe just the demo.

Anyway, I was on the fence with getting both games this year but, I can already tell Live will be an after thought after playing this.

Gotta go walk the dog and hang with the GF. Damn relationships. Anyway, keep the impressions coming. I cant wait to read more on the game on my iPhone.

what do you mean by pick control?

how did you utillize this? what do you press to initiate the pick?

Any impressions of post moves? Up & Unders especially. Does the animation still take forever to get off.

And a word of advice -- get used to using the shot stick rather than the buttons... makes the game SO much better, especially now that they added the adjusted shots.

thanks. I haven't been using the shot stick. I guess now's as good as time as any to start learning.

It becomes second nature once you get used to it.
