NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Just saw Bynum get mixed up in transition and guard Eddie House, but when he went through the post for a screen Bynum switched off to cover Perkins when he got to him and Fisher continued cutting off the screen, super nice switch.



I'm still not used to the speed of the game though, it might just be me but every animation seems a LOT slower, I can't do anything with Isomotion and am really struggling to beat anyone off the dribble. I wasn't any good with Kobe last year anyway, but I can't even do a crossover with him now.

NBA2K9. It's fannnnnntastic!

So many things (and little things) to list that I love right off the bat. 5 games into the demo and I freaking love this game.

Oh, how I hope I get this game tomorrow.

[ehh]

Saw a few other cool things...

I was playing good D on the C's and the shot clock was winding down and Rondo took a 22 footer way off balance and it was an airball, dunno if I've ever seen that in a 2K game before.

Also, anyone who's using the C's, as soon as you're D make sure you adjust Rondo's defensive pressure on Fisher. LOL, he's hit about 20 three's so far on me.

One thing that is becoming a concern to me is the lack of responsiveness of the shotstick in a catch-n-shoot situation. It's awesome to see Ray Ray come off all these screens but so far I can't get him to catch and shoot all in one smooth motion. He always has to set himself and by then Kobe has recovered. Sometimes I have to use the shot stick twice, it's as if Ray is stuck in an animation during my first attempt at shooting. It's as if he has to go from "running off a screen animation" to "neutral" to "shooting" after I press the shot stick. Not good.

Also, the isomotion is a little worisome. Basically, hold down turbo and wiggle the stick and you'll get by someone. It's not as precise as in the past, IMO, but then again I'm sure I'm not using it correctly. Hopefully I'll figure it out or cheesers will have a field day with this.
