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.

Ehh, if you're not doing this already, I would suggest you use Icon passing for players coming off screens. Also, use the shoot button as oppose to the shot stick. I only use the shot stick for layups and dunks.

Lol so ea is saying "Hey if you dont buy our game new your gonnia have to pay $20 bucks!!!" So if you buy the game used for $40 you still going to have to pay $60 which is just like buying it new. If you want to use their hyped feature this year.

Ray Allen's release is a little too slow for my liking, should be a bit quicker.

Imma have to chalk up the textures looking like this...because of the demo size?

Has pared commented on this?

I'm almost positive this demo is Beta. Combined with that clapping glitch, some of the animations seeming a little off, NO coach's control at all. I can see why perhaps Sony and MS delayed this demo.

Playing several times on my friend's PS3 (can't wait for the 360 demo), I noticed a few things: the jump-shooting is still a little sluggish and the graphics weren't quite as crisp as I expected (from the Press camera..but close-ups were nice), but I enjoyed the new animations and the overall gameplay a lot

the feet setting seems a bit overdone this year.
