Agreed. I haven't played an nba game in along time and am kind of hyped for this game, but I can't play half as good as he is and with no tutorial I am just hating the game.

Also on a fast break with kobe, why can't kobe out run perkins and the bigger men? (had a steal and kobe was breaking and seems like he didn't even pull away much from the big men chasing)

To the people that cant get the controls...you just gotta mess around with them. i played 3 or 4 games and i thought it was horrible now ive played it a lot and im getting the hang of the controls. just keep playing and like poster above said feather the left stick

Again, read this.

My impressions from the demo are as followed.
I am overall impressed but I wish they would of made the demo a tad bit longer. It is a bit of a learning curve with the moves, iso motion, signature gathers etc. To include some sort of practice mode where people could perfect the feel of the game would have been nice.

The iso motion feels funny to me. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it is because I dont know the moves and I am just pressing buttons as if I were playing 2k10 might be it. I wish they implemented the player chatter that is on the 360. It gives the action on the court another level of immersion.

Superstars are going to be a problem in this years game. Kobe is a monster. They have nailed the "signature" style of the players as well. Kobe's and Pierces jumpers are spot on. It is truly a joy to watch. I went for a steal with Artest and he got called for a foul and he started jumping up and down holding the ball.

2k11 is the king of the block when it comes to basketball sports simulation and I wish they would stand behind their product a bit more. Make the demo longer and give us a practice mode!

I am proclaiming it.

I just played 2 games of the PS3 demo. I have some very basic impressions, but here they are..

Positives
+ It seems to be an accurate representation of NBA basketball
+ I haven't felt a " scripted " feel

Negatives
- 2K Sports needs to figure out to use 2x AA on the PS3 cause the graphics are rough around the edges - literally
- Players move robotically sometimes ( usually when the clock is stopped )
- Sluggish controls

Know right thats what i'm trying to get through to these guys the controls are completely different for every dude...listen hold the left trigger and just lightly tap the left stick.. GUY STARTS DRIBBLING IN one spot doing between the legs and everything from you just lightly tapping it and DON"T i Repeat DON"T USE The RIGHT TRIGGER WHILE TRYING TO DO CROSSOVERS its only the left trigger
