they aren't cut scenes they are close-ups i think you can disable that in the final build, i don't know about the demo i haven't tried.

I can't wait to go home tonight and get a hand on this demo, especially because I can get a feel of my Orlando Magic. How have you guys liked it so far, how different is it from NBA Live 09 and I think the most important question is how much of a competitor will Live 10 be this year to 2K10 based on your experience with the demo?

Thanks for the great reviews guys, making me anxious!

Why is every player so light? Every guy in the hangar looks like they're half white.

The faces aren't that great, on the close ups even Dwight's face was off

The animations happen way too quick, I would be dribbling and go up for a shot and they just fast forward into a shooting animation

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but anytime I contest a shot in the paint they go into an animation where I do a hard foul

The bench is cool, the guys act really excited

I didn't notice the computer calling any plays or very much off the ball movement, Derek Fisher would either shoot a three or they would give it to Gasol. I think Kobe only got the ball once.

That's not true. Sorry I had to comment on this, but some people make this very same comment every year too.

Game looks like a cop this year for me.
Pros
arena environment and sound
dribbling mechanic
smoothness
player faces
hangar
free flowing play
playcalling
footplanting

cons
blocking
defense looks a lil stiff
the dunks are still live 06-07 looking
player textures(guys were too shiny imo)
models still look a bit stick figured and slouched over
same old live commentary


All in all am enjoying the demo. The improvements are noticeable off the bat and i just like to give people who boost games a shot. Ill be buying both this year hopefully the full game tweaks some of the things i hated like the rocket dunks also the way they tried to block. It'd be tight if we got more collision animations also because i keep seeing almost the same one. I loved the fact that you pay if you over dribble with almost anyone. Hopefully that'd keep most cheesers a bit honest. Also hopefully they get the shot game on tact because i wasn't missing after i got the release timing just like the live of old. Something i got to get used to and hopefully its just me is that when i try to stop after a move near the ft line i wind up trying to attack and draw contact instead of going straight up hopefully its just me for now.

I hope you will be Stewaat....Don't know if you remember me, but I played in a 2K league with you and your Bobcats (hope that's right) With the gameplay and control I've seen in the demo, I HOPE there is some sort of workable online league that is somewhat like 2k's.... I hope so

Overall, I just feel like the game is improved enough where a sim head can deal with any short comings this year. There seems to be enough player differentiation where I can play the game year round.

It's still early... but that's the feeling I'm getting.

I absolutely love Gasol. He doesn't jump on his shot much, and has an overall different feel from Bynum and Howard.

Bravo.
