The first thing that stood out to me was the deflected passes. The game already flows so smoothly, but when a pass is deflected there isn't this feeling that the ball is warping into someone's hand. It gets knocked away and then is up for grabs. The animations that go along with it really make it look fantastic.

Getting back to how the game flows though, it really has a very natural feel to it. It definitely makes you want to learn the controls so you can have full feel and responsibility over what is happening. I'm very impressed with how the game feels in my hands.

Gonna be hard to go back to NBA2K10 after experiencing this. Movement is ridiculously smooth. The variety of animations is stellar, and this is only the demo. I want to blurt out "Bestanimatedsportsgameever!" but will bite my tongue until it bleeds - FOR NOW. Contact and momentum are very well done. Staple Center sounds are excellent; vastly improved. "The Little Things" thread for this game should be HUGE. I miss being able to initiate the various walk the ball up animations that were in 2K9 (or 2K8?) and the demo options are very limited, but no biggie on either. Momentum jumpers are flat-out beautiful. Love playing defense, feels so much better. As Czar said, lay off the turbo except when needed. Can't imagine how much fun it's gonna be playing as Jordan

Thanks...lol

You guys were a little too excited about this "limited play calling" lol I had to posted that twice.

But I'm hearing good things. I can't tell what is my favorite part right now. The Controls, The (sort of) Death to lead pass, Stumbling players, Deep passes being bobbled and Or just the overall good feeling/vibe I'm getting from everyone on the forums.

Any negative remarks?

Anyone try walking the dog?

Man, I'm loving these impressions. I can't wait to get home and sample the demo myself...

Totally agree. I wonder why they removed the walk the ball up animations. I always loved those.
