Man why is Sony always on some bull****?

[TheKasmar]

All of the random crap animations that I hated from 2k10 appear to be gone. Great work 2k. I can finally bring the ball up court without randomly doing a dribble I dont want to or having a defender turn me the opposite direction.

I've blocked Garnett's set shot at least 5 times because his release is so slow and predictable(His post game is a different story)

The walk the dog inbound is a little different now. When the inbounder throws the ball in it has more air to it.

At times the game has a Live 10 feel to it. Mike's influence is definately felt.

I've had a lot of success with the post-spin to the basket.

I love the fact that I can put my back to the basket anywhere I want to. This gives Kobe many more options than 2k10 where I would hope he would post up.

Perimiter defense feels difficult so far because I'm use to holding LT and having more influence. I need more time with it.

Its so smooth, best sports game ever!

Demo feels very smooth. I like that. Players moving around seem very good. BBall fundamentals seem there for the most part. However, there was a bad omen for me. The VERY first 3 plays went like this. I inbound ball and forgot about shot stick so half way between half court line and 3 pt line I had picked up my dribble. Basically in trouble so I said F it and chucked up the 3 with Fisher, swoosh. Next play Celtics miss and I come down to feed the post and Garnett gets it and passes it ,from directly under the basket, the FULL length of the court to the corner where I had a man directly in the face of the CPU's man. No way that should have went down. Garnett looked better than Tom Brady to fit that pass in there. 3rd issue I've seen players running past loose balls. The head to it but seem to keep running past it.

I was left scratching my head that those would be the very first plays I see in the game. Otherwise loving it but those issues gave me great pause.

The animations are amazing. I don't know what they did, but the animations are smooth, fluid and amazingly life like. You feel like you're controlling human beings and not robots. I've never gotten a robotic feel from past 2k games, but this one is at another level.

LOL @ whoever said they got Kobe's shot wrong. It looks exactly like him.

[Saijahn]

looks good, plays good, but the demo sucks because you can't run plays not even limited plays, and you can't choose the celtics, no on the fly adjustments. guess we'll just have to wait until the 5th, but in my case around the 16th.

Good eye man. This is the sort of thing I saw in the Kobe spin video I noted earlier. I'm seeing all of these videos and I have to say that I'm surprised at how polished everything is looking so far. Normally, when a game first hits and THOUSANDS of people get at it, some huge issue will pop up all over the net immediately. I'm sure there will be some issue - every game has them - but I'm just surprised how ever video looks clean.
