im fine with alot of fouls. believe me, average that out over an entire game, and itll barely reach the nba league average. BUT i ask you this, are they making alot of and1s? thats my biggest gripe. you see maybe 1 or 2 a game, maybe 4 at the most, but here youll see 2-3 a qrt with fouls set high in 2k8. so now if fouls are called and and1s arent always made, itll be a dream

Yea I called that while watching videos. I KNOW 2K didn't give us a "Leaners" Tendency, so I know I will get frustrated watching the CPU shoot leaners when they are WIDE open

Never mind guys, I'm playing again, and my settings for my set I changed on accident, now I have it back to normal. Colors are fine

2K always had an issue with AND1's. I don't know why they never gave us a slider for that

Just seen Rondo split the double team by dribble the ball behind his back. Man oh man..

man, i really want to get this demo now... all these impressions are great, i'm still going to try and hold out until tues-wed when i can get the full game and play it then first, but it's going to be tough

Man this game is going to be insane. I remember for 2K7 demo there wasn't audio either and the game itself was mind blowing. I think I can say the same for 2K9 in terms of improvement. I don't know how the entire game will play, but the quarter of play was amazing.

One thing that stood out to me right away was the Lock on d options. You can play to the right/left/center - close/medium/out - which is impressive. I played Kobe to right so he would have to drive left and his *** got blocked by the Big Ticket.

Then when I was playing as the Lakers, I made a bad *** and Allen went on the fast break. Odom caught up from behind and make a ridiculous block off the glass - WOW.

The lay up animations were sick, the dribble animations were as well, player movement was great as well. Can't wait to utilize off ball control.

I think the difficulty setting was set fairly low because many shots seemed to be going down, but that is just a matter of sliders and not gameplay.

I CANNOT wait until I get my hands on this game! Hopefully tomorrow
