NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

I wish breaking out off animations of the dribble were more consistent. That ride the hip animation is giving me fits.

shot blocking is really bothering me....last year when i pressed the button, i knew my player was going to jump, how he was going to jump and what direction he was going to jump...now i press the block button and i have no idea what my player is going to do..sometimes he doesn't jump at all, sometimes he jumps in the wrong direction, sometimes there is a long delay before he jumps...not liking the shot blocking responsiveness or the animations themselves.

I don't feel so bad anymore.

It SUCKS it barbones....Im just gald we got something early from 2k...Its basically just a teaser of some of the improvements. @ Pared....Yeah, when you put some work in on the controls its awesome...but I feel you on the momenteum...IMO its a necessary evil..

I know its a demo guys. But this is a bad demo. You know my little brother won't play it because he HATES the Lakers lol.

Like I said if you think I'm calling it a bad because of the gameplay. Your wrong lol. I love the new improvements. But nothing to even use really. one team + one player that sucks big time for me.

That is called momentum, something that has been lacking from last years game no one should be able to just do something with out gathering themselves first.

nah..last year 2k10 had momentum...they just increased the momentum...a little too much momentum in my opinion...it shouldn't take kobe 3 seconds to change directions...looks like he's running in 6 inches of snow.

i Just did that Kobe behind the back 360 Dunk....it was nice.

Sounds like someone's abusing turbo.

It's like driving a car, man. Foot off the gas pedal when you're changing directions.
