it is a very striped down demo but very fun and very much of teaser demo if i ever played one before... 21 days to go...

Overall the game is looking great. The players look better than last year and the animations are smoother. I'm digging the new controls as well. The new defensive adjustments they made are outstanding (especially in the paint). Few gripes though, and some of it may just be me not knowing what I'm doing. First, there doesn't seem to be a way to execute a tight spin move without picking up the dribble, you can do a spin buts its really loose. The tight spin would be really useful when you're driving and have the defender riding your hip (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZCN-F6SqRs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ztuu...eature=related though Bryant picks up the dribble).It also opens up opportunities for the spin fake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGgi6vbUO2M. I was also unable to find the post up button and had to rely on the player posting automatically. There also seems to be some kind of auto guard dribble when you walk up court, it looks a bit strange when theres no one there trying to pressure you.

Seriously though to keep it all the way real. this stripped down demo is complete BS. How they hell can you release a demo where you can only play as one team... NO PLAYS... well we found a work around for that but come on 2k that is just plain old BS.

Very impressed so far.

Wasn't the draft combine for My Player going to be included in the demo? ... or am I just going crazy?

Quick breakdown on how to run a play(in the demo atleast):

Once most of your players are past half court tap LB/L1 and then quickly follow that up by pressing the icon of the player you want to run the play for. For example, Kobe Bryant would be B or O. So initially, tap LB/L1 and then quickly tap B/O. A red circle will be under the player of choice, Kobe in this case. You will now need to press another face button (A,B,X,Y/X,O,Triangle,Square) to initiate a play. If done correctly, play art will show up on the court.

It'll take a few times to be able to perform it constantly, and i'm sure that in the released version of 2k11 it will be much easier to do judging by Da Czar's videos. If you have any questions, just ask them in here.
