There's a ton of cool things for those that notice. I'm guessing a good 75% of guys will never notice stuff like that but it's always nice to see you guys do. Just like the Rondo fake.

When the full game drops... let's see if anyone can notice what's new about the CPU controlled Iverson.

It's there. Like I mentioned there are few guys that still do it... they're the athletic guys. Kobe, LeBron... and J.R. freakin' Smith. He's a cartoon fellas.

I'm loving these impressions.

Tomba, it's a PS3 vs. 360 issue. The textures on the PS3 are a lower resolution than the 360. Just slightly, but those with a good eye will notice.

360 also has AA while the PS3 does not.

The demo is great, but like all other previous NBA 2k games, I still feel like I am playing basketball on ice. When I am in lock on D, your guy will still slide and warp around. This could be due to game speed, though. So, correct me if I am wrong there from those who have the full game. I also noticed Rondo burn by me with Fisher and I said to myself, wow, that was nice!! Only for Rondo to hit a brick wall in Gasol and then boom. Rondo is running right into his chest while his feet are still moving like he was on a treadmill. This is the only problem I've ever disliked about the 2k series. Again, it could be due to the game speed this year. I will have to wait and check it out.

To get rid of this feeling it will take a complete overhaul of the animation system.

You have to take the good with the bad. Frankly, I can overlook things like this when the rest of the game is as high a quality as this one is.

No one is saying it is perfect. But for sure, arguably the best out there.
