the way the "get up" sounds it sounds like its not even playing in the arena,

Very impressive, and a huge improvement over 2k9. Love seeing the CPU set picks and I had a heck of a time driving to the basket especially for dunks, which is something I could at will with certain players in 2k9. Hard to have any other impressions without the play by play, etc., but it looks and plays very well. First day buy no doubt.

Things I liked about the demo:

1) Player models look better than I anticipated (except Kobe, he looks terrible)

2) The presentation

3) The crowd and atmosphere is excellent

Things I didn't like:

1) Some of the animations, especially when a player turns...They stop and turn as if they are on a stick

2) The net physics have no variety -- The ball actually morphs through the net on free throws...

Strictly demo related, it wasn't very good. You did not have the ability to change difficulty or any other settings to give the user a solid feel. Also, the demo was too short.

Nice to get to see the visuals which, again, are nice.

Big improvement over 2K9, for me. Most of the small niggles I have with the game should be fixable by edited sliders. Definite thumbs up.

EDIT: Although, I did notice one bug. I'd managed to tip a pass with Nelson, then fed it to Rashard for an open dunk. As he went up for it, the game froze, and when it unfroze he was about a foot away from the rim, with the ball jarring back out. Not quite sure what happened!

I didn't know Kobe had telepathic powers (4:37) and what was that at 2:45?

Also I hope the menus are better than NHL 2K10's. I can see they're the same style but they can at least be managed better.

Between these impressions and the vids (not so much the one I quoted,I can tell that dude is just bad) I'm not sure I even want to rent this now. For those that said it's worse than the Combine,how? Pretty difficult to be worse than that. That was the worst basketball game I played since ESPN NBA 2Night. (Yes they actually used a 2)

The demo is okay, I was actually still used to Live's controls when I fired up the 2k demo. (who would of thought?)...

If what I'm reading is correct about the size up dribbling not being in this demo then that helps me understand why the dribbling just doesn't feel right to me.

And why are the floaters/runners different and sluggish compared to 2k9? Am I the only one who's noticed this?
