All in all, the demo is just a tease, and I'm sure I'll be in bball heaven once the full version is released with all the presentation elements/commentary in tow.

Im the same as you. I already know im buying the game, good or bad, the demo wasnt going to sway me either way. the onlly difference is I havent played a bball game in years so it is kind of blowing me away.

Aside from the back door cuts and bad help D situations, it's pretty easy to force the CPU into a bad shot in this demo, so this was mostly about seeing the graphics and controls. Controls felt good. Isomotion worked well. Broke Vince's ankles at will with Kobe. Pretty easy to get layups and dunks. I think I played four games and saw 8 or ten dunks. Maybe more. Level is just too low/incomplete to judge anything resembling AI. If it weren't for My Player, I don't know where I would stand on this one.

My feelings exactly, found alot more enlightment from the draft combine.

I dont get the people saying this game sucks..the demo is decent but its hard to judge off a demo, duh. There is no way i would say it sucks like a good handful are saying. I will say this, 2k needs to make the game feel more fresh..its starting to feel dated sorta like how madden on the ps2 and original xbox felt pretty much milked to death after 3 or 4 years of the same old same old. Although again..its just a demo..maybe there is more appeal to it in the full version.

I do know one thing, Live10 feels "fresh" ..and plays good so i have a GOOD feeling Live10 will take the crown this year..mark my words but both games are good so you cant really lose going with either. The fanboyism going on in here is hilarious

The signature movements and plays are a lot and true to life. Another thing i noticed was with 10 secs to go, the magic wasn't playing full court press...i rather than pass the ball to me, bynum rolls the ball up court so the clock doesn't run...as soon as the defender came up, i picked up the ball and went for the shot...i missed. I saw a similar video on youtube only that he made his shot.
Very nice!

i like how fastbreaks arent a sure thing now. when the magic put in their subs, they had a fastbreak where pietrus tried a bounce pass to anthony johnson and he couldnt catch it because it was bounced a little bit behind him. on another possession, i tried a post entry bounce pass to bynum but it went out of bounds because bynum wasnt expecting the ball and he moved from his position.

I too, do not understand the complaints. Isomotion feels good, graphics are very clean, players feel more signature and the gameplay feels balanced to me, contrary to some other peoples impressions. They also have done a better job of capturing the physicality of the inside game. This is easily the best 2K just based on the demo... notwithstanding that the high percentages people are complaining about are not an issue; especially not on the higher levels.

Light just went on!

im loving the D...its good I can perfect my man D knowing the held D will back me up....

why did they take out shading though? or is it in there somewhere?

Well I finally got finished for the night on the demo and I got to say that the mechanics of dribbling has improved but its hard to judge overall cuz it's just a demo. Its TOO incomplete to start liking it or hating it. It's like the game developers must've lost a ton of money betting on the finals and said "We're making sure the Magic wins this" LOL. I'm not saying that they are unbeatable (I've beaten them 2 times) but they're shot percentage is through the roof. I can tell cuz everytime I played with them I never lost but playing against them is crucial. If it isn't them throwing threes 10 feet from the line and hitting all net, to the same 2kisms rolling their ugly heads in (ie: hand going through the ball when blocking, morphing through body issues). I still believe this has potential in the ACTUAL game. It was only 446Mb so I know its not running on full power. The Ally Oops didn't bother me because its the same on 2k9 when the computer gets upset and is desperate for a comeback, only it looks better. But overall I can't wait till the game comes out and I'm looking forward to taking some of you down to chinatown LOL (looking at Teebone).
