I love the emotion they've added to the players - it's amazing how much they've done. Had Perkins attempt to dive to save a ball from going out of bounds and he hit his shoulder. Afterwards, he's up walking back to the sidelines holding his shoulder, grimacing like he's in pain. I love scoring with Garnett and seeing the reactions he has - and how the player reactions on the whole are different and seem to fit within the personality of the real life player. Even on something as simple as a free throw attempt - they've managed to capture near-perfectly the routines, how players take a deep breath to gather themselves - truly incredible stuff. And to think this is only the demo; I can't stop playing this thing. Can only imagine what the full game has in store

After playing this demo I am impressed. I don't have the money so I will rent for now. But I am impressed.

What is with the clapping? Any time Lakers score, I hear clapping on the right side like I'm sitting in the crowd and some dumb Laker fan is clapping right in my ear. If the Celtics score, some dumb Celtics fan is clapping right in my left ear. So annoying!! Please tell me this isn't in the final game!!??

How do you do a leaner or is that not in the demo?

how awesome.. i accidentally jumped when bynum got switched to pierce and he pulled up for a jumper, created contact, drew the foul and made the shot.

I just spent maybe 3 demo's in a row doing nothing but driving to the hole and switching the dunk/layup...it's amazing...Most times I waited too long so my guy ended up underneath the backboard, but it still is incredibly fun/awesome.

And KG in this game=money. I just won 18-2 with KG getting all 18 points on 100% field goals and 4 blocks haha

I give up guys. I can't play anymore. CPU just threw down something nasty on me. I'm just awe struck, I really am. woke my family up at 12am, thanks 2ksports.

Description below. Watch first.


Play starts off as I make a wreckless pass thats within grasps of kobes long arms. He steals it and slows it down. What progresses next leaves me awe struck. Kobe, Andrew, and Pau form a triangle and pass to one another like its 3rd grade PE. I start laughing at the AI (at its apprent lackluster dynamic abilities). The shot clock is winding down and the play tends to break as Pau moves away. Out of nowhere, Pau comes back into the picture and sets a screen for a cutting Kobe. I am left defenseless as Kobe breaks through for the alley oop dunk.

Laker fans, is this how the triangle works? was this really a triangle type play? did the play break down and pau just set a screen for kobe as the play ultimately broke down or was this all within the motions of the triangle to confuse the defense

Thank you. Finally somebody else admits that it's just not the demo I downloaded. I've played a ton of games and while Kobe feels like Kobe when he gets the ball, he just doesn't get the ball enough.
