Lock on with the L-stick. Depending on how close you are when you lock, you'll see the middle bar on the "web" icon show how close you're playing the man. So if you're up in his grill and lock on, you'll be defending him very tight... if you are playing way off your man and lock, it'll play him loose. Anyway, with the R-stick, you can adjust this, so move it closer to the man if you want to play closer on him and vice-versa. You can also choose to shade him to one side or the other by moving the R-stick to the right or left of the man -- all of this is represented on the "web" icon.

I was blown away by the graphics. I'm an extremely happy bball gamer.

Just played a few games in the demo. I had some nice ally-oops. Kobe over Rondo, Pierce over Kobe... lalala.

I'm playing the 360 demo and the jaggies are still noticeable in comparison to some of the PS3 demo vids/pics I've been seeing. Maybe not as many, but it's still there. It's a demo, yeah, but just pointing it out.

Overall, I'm not blown away like some people. I feel the same way as I did with the 2k8 demo last year. It feels new and I just need to adjust. =p

Most of the controls are the same, or only slightly adjusted. All of the player movement is different, but I'm not seeing the same large difference in isomotion control as others. Right from the beginning, I've been putting Ray on Sportscenter with Kobe.

lol if you played each 2k title to death then you would notice the difference...smh

I hear ya. I was hoping to play this weekend. I will be on the road for awhile after that.

I agree...this game feels way different from 2K8 or any other 2K game.
