DAAAAAAAAAMN, finally got to play this demo. First me and my buddy played coop on the Live demo for about 5 games, then we switched over and played coop on the 2K9 demo and couldn't stop playing. When you play them back to back the difference really shows. 2K9 is just a beast of a basketball game! My friend who was playing with me is a big arcade guy, he loves the run and dunk style of games, but even he was blown away by the smoothness and realism of 2K9. He didn't even care that it is a sim, becuase its so damn authentic its amazing. Plus the graphics IMO are MUCH better than you guys give it credit for. Again playing Live 09 demo and then 2K9 demo immediately after, I'd even say 2K9 has the better graphics. I thought 2K8 was an ugly game, and to me 2K9 is a damn nice looking game. No jaggies or low res textures that I saw. The mid-air collisions in 2K9 are incredible, I hacked the crap out of Kobe on a breakaway and he collapsed to the ground, got up and just gave me that trademark Kobe sneer. It was so realistic! Then later I two hand stuffed Gasol and he fell, when he got up Garnett was talking trash to him and Gasol shoved Garnett in the chest and walked away while Garnett continued to mouth something at him. The authenticity is just mind blowing. I actually considered getting Live this year as well as 2K9, but not anymore. Theres absolutely no reason whatsoever for me to own both because I would never take the time to open Live. This game is just..... Plus I accidently plowed right into Doc Rivers with Garnett, he stumbled back and Garnett held him up, its was awesome. Then I had some fun by intentionally running into the refs and making guys trip over the camera men on the sidelines. EVERYTHING is in this game. IS IT TUESDAY YET!?!?!?

This game is on fire. Animations are excellent.

But i dont like how you have to use triggers for isomotion. Makes the moves super fast

Best basketball game I ever played...And it was a flippin DEMO! It takes a lot for me to get excited about a game trust me...I cannot believe how realistic the animations are...hard fouls are actually hard fouls. The players faces look amazing...This is what next-gen gaming is all about...I think 2k finally pushed sports gaming to a new level.

9.5/10 demo

I cant see how anyone could complain with near perfection....Oh wow.

Damn the CPU actually traps on the screen N roll attempts. Nice job. Rondo (me) was doubled and they (Gasol + Fish) doubled me and I found a rolling KG for the easy donk
