no disrespect intended but i love the fact that most of the complaints for the demo are because of all the things 2k left out (can't play as the celtics, 4 minute quarter, no commentary, can't call plays, can't change camera angles, etc). 2ks demos are always pretty cut back, last year had all the same things left out except that you could choose your team, but to me this is just another great marketing strategy by 2k because it makes people want the game even more. The demo serves it purpose it allows you to see and feel how much the gameplay has changed, but its only a quick teaser. Its like being thirsty and only having a small juicy juicy to drink, it's done before you quench your thirst.

Hmm I disagree. If you take the same type of turn around jumpers while someone put their hands in front of you in 2K10, you will miss that shot everytime regardless of game difficulty. But in the demo, I've seen KG does the same thing over and over again but made like 90% of them while Gasol attempt to jump block him. You pretty much have to touch the ball in order to affect his shots.

Yeah it says a lot about a game. I'm anxious to get my hands on this game because it seems incredible.

The shot stick controls and modifiers have definitely taken 2k11 to the next level. The creativity seems endless. I’ve seen more variety in this demo than I saw in all of 2k10.

Here is a video highlighting a more grown up Kobe. The hop step seems more realistic and creates contact unlike 2k10. The “Flick Flick” adds new up and under moves that were sorely limited in 2k10. I swear I’ve seen several different moves already just from using the LT. The foot planting is a pleasant surprise and is really apparent in the video. It feels satisfying getting you defender off balance and pulling up. There were a bunch of other moves I performed as well but I missed those shots so I didn’t add them to the video.

Good video man! I'm still having a hard time doing the "flick flick" move...

That's the flick flick move he meant? I remember that from 2k9..it was basically a glitch it went in almost every time and you could do it from the 3pt line...Here's to hoping its nothing like that..

kobe videos everywhere but none are hitting jumpshots usually. I am making a gasol highlight reel

On the Celtic's jerseys for the most part yes, on the Lakers no, it's just the words blend in with the light colored jerseys. I'm referencing when the game is being played at normal zoom, obviously when the camera pans in closer to any degree both are easily legible. The names are harder to discern on the PS3 much more so than the 360. I think this game honestly looks best on a 360 via VGA than it does a 360 with HDMI, I tried both today and for whatever reason the VGA image looked better than the HDMI one on my 360 on the same TV.
