Maybe I will just watch the CPU vs. CPU. I can't bring myself to use the Lakers. I might get nauseous.

As long as they give you the option to also play with current teams. If the demo only had the Jordan Challenge, it would just confirm many "casual" gamers' belief that it's 2K10 + Jordan, even if it's not. I think 2K made the right decision, marketing-wise.

You get different shots depending on your movement, facing, distance, and direction of your flicks.

Thank you sir I just did Kobe's signature move!!!

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but is it possible to go to a controller select screen and change your team? I know you can't choose Boston from the team select screen, just trying to think of a workaround? What about connecting a 2nd controller and seeing that works?

So that mean the shots are "physics based"?

After all these years, this is it. Inside Drive 04 CPU IQ, 2K's presentation, visuals and animations, with Live's controls. I'm giddy right now, lol.

-Rondo takes it from Fisher. Just takes it for the fast break, no look behind the head dish to PP for a smash. Another play he gets slapped with the reach. Everything is so fluid. I tried to see how far I could walk the dog, and let the ball near halfcourt. Rondo zooms in, scoops it up for the easy fast break dunk.

-Moving around in space with the modifier on is sublime. I hate that they removed the walk it up anims, but I love how Fish can handle so fluidly, again. Retreats, pulls up with the between the legs...this is the perfect marriage of control and sweet, sweet mo-cap.

-Weakside help is there 90% of the time, which is great. Lots of tipped shots and outright rejections. Seen a few instances of help defenders just jumping at nothing, but it's been greatly reduced.

-KG on the blocks is sick. JO is so nice on here too. The sig stuff is bananas overall. The Truth's set shot, SMH. Mom. Ba. He's cheese, lol. Using Kobe is F'n cheese. I did a double spin baseline fadeway with Bean that was just filthy.

-Spacing is great, passing lanes are now monitored closely by the D. This year, if you don't have the angle, it's a wrap on the ill-advised pass.

It's tough to mentally note all the crazy things you see playing this.

Man, great job to all yooz 2K staff.
