What about LAN or any other multiplayer? Where did you see this information?

Even if there isn't even multiplayer, I'll probably still go with it since I never play these games with anyone anyway.

Am I the only one having trouble playing post defense? I know that in 2k7 (PS2) you could push / shove the guy you were guarding out of the post, but I haven't been able to do that, or front my man so it's they're establishing pretty good position time and time again...

Anyone notice the glitch with Lamar Odom in the demo (360)? His legs are pencil thin, and it's really noticeable when he's at the free throw line.

BTW, this game/demo is off the chain.

It looks like 2k has done it again....should be a great year for simheads.

I really enjoyed the demo. The 1st thing I noticed is how much smoother the controls feel. In 2k8, it felt like the animations got in the way of feeling like you had control and that seems much improved now. The animations are still awesome, if not better than 2k8, but I actually feel more in control of them.

I thought the graphics were a nice step up from 2k8, too, especially the skin textures and player faces. My wife said, "That's the jaggiest game I've ever seen," but it doesn't really bother me. I kind of expect 2k's games to be jaggy. It still looks great, though. I'm playing on a 46" 1080p Samsung LCD and the videos I saw online really didn't do the game justice.

Definite purchase for me after playing this demo.

Only thing I can seem to do in the post with any consistency is hook shots and fadeaways. If someone could post the controls for the post moves and isomotion that would be great. I haven't bought a bball game since 2k5 and am kind of out of the loop. Played 2k8 for a couple days but not enough to get all the controls down.

One other thing I'm noticing and don't like is that if you're backing down and let up on LT they'll do this small hop step automatically. Really annoying and I've gotten a few traveling calls because of that.

Also is it just me or when passing to someone running towards the three point line, like if you're running down court and want to kick it out for a quick three, do they seem to either stay put or even take a step AWAY from the 3 pt line for anyone else?
