NBA 2K9 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Yes! if I am close to a shooter they have the "Hands in Face" animation for my defender. Wondering if it actually decreases the probability of the shot going on though

first shot i see in 2K9, Pau Gasol (CPU) takes a jump hook against the side of the backboard.

sigh.

for the rest it looks pretty good, has a nice flow, nice animations. still gotta find a way to defend cuz i'm getting torched atm.

i've played 2 games as Lakers and 2 games as Celtics, 2-2 against the CPU...
-not sure about the ps3 version but the 360 has nice smooth graphics, no jaggies observed...
-i have to say very nice and improved yung player details nila... PP,KG and KB24 faces are spot-on imo..
-i like their little touch during the replay that when you get a dunk, the screen shakes... also like the tumble animation during layups / fouls
- PNR is not that effective anymore, yahoo!
- the double clutch move is pretty nice, but a bit difficult to execute but i was able to pull a couple with KB24
- FYI, the color commentary not available sa demo

with that quick impression with the demo, i'm sticking with 2k (as usual,hehe)...
can't wait..

Yea 360 version looks good AND I have a regular tv (SDTV), can only imagine it with a real tv

And it is good to see you can't abuse that damn Y-Button Drop Step anymore

I didn't read through the whole impression thread so if it's already mentioned I aplogize.

But did anyone notice Rajon Rondo's hook-fake under-the-basket thingy? (One he fakes going up with 1 hand under the basket, turn around and lay it up on the other side)

Saw atleast 4 "sweet shot" animations that last about 15-20 feet. the ensuing layups or shots are missed though. thats through about 20 minutes of game footage. I really need to get a hang of isomotion. its weird but I get sucked into a backdown postup animation when im just holding the right trigger and using the L stick. I'm getting better but I wont make that excuse for the game. if its me, ill know its me. if the game ill know that too. more on that later... I will say I love the steal animations. many are so seamless The DYNAMIC AI though where my teammates are running around and trying to get open is a breath of fresh air. I may never need to run a play. I like it alot

ray allen happy after getting fouled.. Cutscenes are spectacular

this game is pretty awesome. the movement off the ball is amazing. the game plays so smoothly too and the graphics are great. the new isomotion controls are gonna take a little getting used to though. i had a crazy dunk with kobe that gave me goosebumps. i recorded it with my camcorder since my laptops being repaired so i cant use my capture card. ill upload a quarter as soon as i can.

Glad to FINALLY have an NBA game with realistic oops. God is good
