This game seems very accurate to real basketball. I'm enjoying it very much. Some HD footage will be uploaded shortly for all you pc users.

I can actually do things on a consistent basis. 2K9/10, if I did something hella tight, it was probably luck, or if I could recreate it it didn't look as cool because someone probably warped, slid, teleported, and hopped out his time machine to mess up the essence of the play. 2K7/8/11 allowed/allows you to create things and put them in your back pocket. It'll get to the point where that back pocket is so full you won't know which move you want to pull out to make the defender look stupid.

So true man that was one of the biggest things stopping me from hittin the practice gym. This game has so many options and moves this year that I would be doing myself an injustice if I didn't at least become decent at it.

I've already had some SICK plays that made me pause the game and walk out of my room in shock thinkin to myself...

"Did I really just do that! That couldn't have been me that was just an animation" LOL!

That NEVER happens to me in these 2K games so the fact that I could even luck into something like that gives me hope man...

Not impressed, as the game feels lagging, dragging, very heavy, mechanical instead of smooth, light and under control. Hoping the final build runs smoother and more organic!

Just played the demo and it reminded me of the Live 10 from the opening scene to the controls. The controls felt much better than 2k10 but not as smooth as Live 10. I liked the pass defense which again reminded me of when I played the Live 10 demo. I thought the shots looked better with the fall through animation but they were going bank shot crazy. Some of the player models looked real bad like Doc Rivers and Ray Allen looking 55 years old. What's up with Kobe's turkey neck? The spacing felt way off trying to score in the half court but I play in 2k cam so maybe that was a factor. Some of the passing did not feel as responsive as it needed to be like there was a slight pause before the pass. The free throw controls felt responsive to pulling on the stick. I am no isomotion master but it felt less effective than in 2k10 and slowed the pace of the action down while the animation was preformed. Overall a better game than 2k10 but because of the demo I feel there is many things good or bad that we do not know about the game. Can't play against a human seems strange. Makes me say are you hiding something about two player mode. Will the online play be smooth? Only time will tell. For some reason to me 2k games lack a polish that make me say this game is official. I checked out the FIFA 11 demo and right away felt the polish same with NHL11. I am not bashing 2k11 because they have improved the game. Will it the best bball game this year? I am not ready to say that yet.

This game plays better than 2k10 in every way. I felt 2k10 was a step back for thebseries. it never gelt like i was controling the players. This is ten times better.

I'm not feeling the "new feel" of the game, at all, so far. Maybe as I play on, it will become more apparent but, again, it feels like NBA2K and nothing's really changed. I will play some more when I get up but as for now, onto the Fifa 11 demo.
