I wouldn't be surprised if the demo is on Pro difficulty. It usually is. And then when the game comes out and start to play on All-Star or Superstar they start to cry because of how hard it is.

The play I described with Fisher/Kobe involved Fisher lunging about a foot to poke the ball. Most times I hit the steal my player moves a lot, usually curling around a player trying to get the ball from behind?

Im talking about at the users control. That is not whats in this game.. not just some animation but when you want to do it you should be able to do it.

I cant find the demo on the PSN. Ive looked everywhere. Can someone help me out??

Wow, it sucks to be European. No demo available today on PSN (but yay, a Bioshock demo) so that probably means we're gonna get it next Thursday. But with the game coming out here next Friday, then really what's the point?

I guess I don't totally understand, I wanted to do what Fish did usually, except for a few cheesy lane strips on PFs.


Just saw another great deadball "reaction" moment, KG puts up a bad layup, gets the OReb., goes for seconds and Bynum swats it at some cameramen, then starts shaking his head in KG's face and it cuts to a close up where Bynum looks away and his mouth looks like it goes "that's right". I LOL'd Bynum getting at KG like that.

Didn't they have that in the old 2k games? If you saw a really stupid long pass you could run and lunge your way towards it, almost like a free safety.
