This happened the first game I played on the first shot I scored (15 foot fade with Kobe) so it's definitely there. It went Phil - crowd- Kobe - gameplay.

darned if you do, darned if you dont. 2k10 featured AI that would streamline passes to the cutter before you or your CPU teammates could respond... Is that basketball?

2k11 feels much more natural. Not every player will find the open man on every possession within 1 second of getting open. More often than not, I am seeing intelligent real life looking AI.

What's next, the SHAQ test? btw, try guarding Rondo with Bynum and move around. You'll fall flat on your butt

Man the PS3 demo seems just fine to me. I've played 5 times, and the controls feel a lot more realistic then ever before.

I love how even the ball seems to have a life of its own. Every pass doesn't result in the same handful of animations. The ball isn't sucked right into players hands like before.

The sound is great, can't wait to hear the broadcasting added to it.

I find it interesting to see the depth of what appears to be shadows. At the free-throw line, I can see the shadow of the ball on the players jersey.

I gotta play this demo 50 more times man. Great stuff.

The whole goal thing i can't respond becausei haven't heared that in the game maybe its only on the ps3 version

I don't agree with this. It depends on the team, and the situation of the game. I've been to a few lakers games at staples and the crowd is not hyped from the beginning of the game. They don't usually get really loud til the 4th quarter, a game 7 or a lakers come back. Trust me.

Boston crowd for example is consistently louder than LA throughout the game. Same with utah. Portland also has a great crowd.

I'm going to download the demo when I get off of work and personally I don't care about the crowd being loud or whatever. It's just a video game, but crowd noises vary so much.

My main gripe is the ball looks real different. It looks like a EA Street ball compared to 2K.

I noticed that the stamina bar is not in the gam anymore. At least not in the demo. I'm partially happy about this.

The Celtics got called for a Defensive 3 Second Violation and Derek Fisher shot the FT. The devs need to change this to Kobe in the Retail version.

Has anybody seen spin moves like these in the demo:

I haven't been able to do a move a like that so far, the part im most concerned about is how the players use their bodies take the defender out of the play.
