Can everyone cut the **** and actually give impressions/questions about the game? Like seriously...Nobody wants to hear about you wanting to have the demo (360)

On topic

How is the sliding is it that bad?
How it the rim/net physics?

Enjoy the game

DIT's an overall setting in the gameplay sliders, I think it was right under layup and dunk success last year. Basically the lower it goes, first the dunks get more humane and then they're barely there and then they're almost non-existent unless you're really good at Sim-style basketball.

try turning the sharpness all the way down in your t.v. menu

I honestly haven't noticed sliding, in fact my main complaint so far has been that the foot planting is even more emphasized, and I think in some ways despite the game being sped up, this keeps it slowed down. Although as I get used to it the players do feel more real rather than all the same - the biggest difference in this game is switching from Rondo to Bynum/Perkins. You really feel it there.

As far as the rim and net goes, the ball bounces off of it good but, honestly...I think this build is Beta, if not less than that. I've said that a couple times. The net looks, to me, a little less realistic than 2K8 but again I don't think all the physics and everything are in place in this demo so we'll have to see in the retail (or Pared could comment possibly).

Rondo's not a great offensive weapon like you'd expect, but if your idea of a good time is weaving in and out of the paint and dishing it from all sorts of places, this is your guy. And the second he passes, it seems like his first option is always to slash right to the hoop, he takes a lot of great angles on that but the Lakers keep noticing it and shading toward him for a second. Fisher is dirty because it's on Pro, I doubt he's this great on All-Star but 2K does like to put the spotlight on a couple guys every year it seems (Brewer last year was pretty bad IMO).


OF COURSE right as I say that I take control of the Lakers and Rondo slaps a latent layup out of Odom's hands under the basket and sprints it all the way back to the other end, laying it in around Kobe and Bynum while drawing a foul. Vintage (?) Rondo.

sliding is a bit noticeable especially when trying to do iso moves...well for me anyway whenever i try to cross up someone i end up gliding of sorts but once i calmed down with the control i found it quite easy..i know this is on pro lvl so it might be tougher to drive by in higher difficulties

funny you should mention the net physics i was shooting a freethrow with KG and noticed how the net moved when the ball went through...its very lifelike lol i dont know why i looked at that detail

heres a funny bug has anybody made the second free throw from KG? the first will be all net but the second would always brick...

ray allen is so wack on 1 on 1 defense... thats so realistic.... i can basically get by him everytime if the defense allows it... kg and perkns are always there on help tho
