Nah. The camera is closer than 2K10.

I don't see why that would not be the case.

Man this game feels & plays so much better than 2k10.

I like how when they show the outside arena the attendance numbers change. Nothing major to brag about but it's part of those little things to make the game feel more real.

IMO Kobe's sig shots are perfect.

I'm loving the entry passing to the post it just feels and looks way better than 2k10.

I had a play that the shot clock was winding down and Kobe was at the left side of the wing and I went to the top and slide the shot stick in the same direction and he took that "Kobe" like shot and as the buzzer sounds, drilled it....

The AI defensively responds much better as making crazy passes will not fly by anymore it's gonna get intercepted forcing you to make sure you make smart passing.

I haven't stop playing (still playing as I'm typing this) and all 2k needs to do now is just get their servers down so when the retail game drops, 5v5 will run smooth. Props to 2k you guys really did a great job with this title

He understands that, but still we want to be able to test it out and find those weaknesses. Maybe they could have gotten an early start on patching them up.

I am well on my way to achieving isomotion with these new smooth and buttery controls. Then again, I watched the CONTROLS trailer a billion times so by the time I popped in the demo, the isomotion was just effortless.

The sig gathers will be damn near ungaurdable when chained with the isomotion dribbles. Nothwithstanding the fact that when combined with momentum jumpers, leaners, and drifters, the superstars with high off the dribble ratings will be a nightmare.

The post game is mostly the same as last year with some new animations, which isn't a bad thing because it was revolutionary in 2K10.

Couldnt figure out how to call plays but that was addressed by JrDoubleHockeySticks post, so thanks for that!

Only thing I have a small gripe about is the uber slow walk-up-the-ball animation. I hope its not the same for all ball handlers, and that hopefully its varied depending on the player.

All in all, to sum it up, the one word that kept coming to mind is TIGHT. The movement is TIGHT, as in not herky jerky with slight movements of left stick. You can definately feel the player wieght and moment.

Releasing this demo so early led me to believe that 2K was confident in its product out of the box, unlike previous years.

VC/2K, coming from an unabashed fanboy, I applaud your efforts

OK, I was 2 hours late to work playing the demo, so I gotta get back on the grind...lol....

In fact I'll even make this prognostication. Elite 11 will feel as good on the sticks or better than 2K, but of course it won't do the two things 2K does better 1. Authentic animations 2. Authentic Player Models.

We both know EA does the presentations better and the features set. BTW Elite 11 has a Jordan Challenge feature and a Jordan Shoe Unlock, not bsing.

Lastly, Elite 11's demo is going to be full of options and a full demo, unlike 2K's watered down version. No bs wait for it.

Last two years I got 2K, looking back 2K10 was barely an upgrade; slicker menus and my player and my boy on the cover, that's it IMO.

People are still going to force the ball inside, 2K's BIGGEST WEAKNESS, so it will feel better on the sticks, but so will Elite 11. IMO you are doing the same thing you've always done, buying the two things 2K does clearly better...

1. Authentic Player Models
1. Authentic Animations

Not to let this get into a pissing match, but But, seriously, dude - PLEASE keep Elite out of this thread.

I feel that VC has been the king of presentation since NFL2K5 and from what we been told, this game is going to take it to 2K5 levels.

The audio, however, has been lacking in NBA 2K. That seems to be much improved, although I can STILL hear that damned ball going through the net sound that's just wrong, wrong, wrong.
