Ok thanks, i thought you couldn't do it with the turbo.

co-signed. His and Ray Allen's as well. Yet Rondo gets a new shot *shrug*

My impressions of the PS3 demo? 2K is getting my money. I'm sold.

I loved 2K8. It finally took the throne as the best basketball game ever for me from NBA Live 99. I'm thinking 2K9 will be even better. The animation looks nicer. The controls feel more responsive, I feel like I'm in more control. Graphics are up a bit. The demo just feels good!

I also have to give credit to the "2K network". In game music isn't this rap/hip hop junk anymore. It's more like televised sports music, and that gets me stoked!

I'm going to go with the PC version because my comp can handle it, I have a controller to use with it, my PS3 is hooked to my computer monitor anyway, so no advantage for PS3 there, and it should have higher resolutions. So unless some key things are missing, or it's just a terrible port, PC version is for me, otherwise, I guess I'll have to fork up the $60. Either way, you're getting my money 2K. Thanks for making a good game even better! (so far)

Ray Allen's shot is great.

Allen's release seemed faster (more accurate in 2k8). I could be misremembering though. I love the off the ball movement. It really allows you to play the pg position and see the floor. This makes the game much more fun for me, as you couldn't really create shots for people last year without running the same boring plays.

Love the demo and can see it's an obvious improvement over last years version.

The only obvious thing i'd change i think is to tone down the dunks a bit. I was controlling Ray Allen and cut baseline and he did this nasty (as in Vince Carter dunk contest nasty, not Ray Allen nasty) windmill over Gasol.

Other than that as fan of nba basketball i don't see how anyone can be dissappointed with this game, it's by far the most accurate reproduction of professional basketball ever made and that's just judging from the demo and video's of the full version.
