I'm one of those people you speak of Carrington. I do not like the 2k brand of basketball at all. each year i play it hoping they will change the game play some how but it just never seems to happen. the presentation changes ALOT from year to year but the game play is still very slow and non responsive. when i read reviews on here from people saying they love how real it plays i go back and play the demo again and i just dont see it.

while i can acknowledge most people prefer the 2k games Ive. always through the years had more fun playing EA's games not because they are super realistic, but because i just plain have more fun on those games.

Am I the only one who thinks Andrew Bynum looks really off? But other than that the demo is really solid

I agree...about the demo being solid, and Bynum does look really off.

Im still amazed that good presentation wipes away the fact that there are almost no physics in this game to speak of. Don't get me wrong the game is beautiful. The presentation is spot on; players look, act and play like themselves. 2k managed to capture the feel of the NBA perfectly. This almost wipes away the fact that much of the time I feel I'm watching the game and not participating. Kobe's vast array of dribble moves only make me realize that I'm not controlling the dribble as much as triggering animations. How can this be sports game of the year when you are barely controlling it. Best representation of a sport yes! SGOY sorry no. I know I'm being critical but it's the only way we'll see the game get better. If we keep accepting glossy over gameplay 2k's gonna keep shoveling reboots of the 2k10 down our throats.

I'm relatively the same way. Even though I've been balling with 2k for a little under 4 years, I would still jump ship immediately if EA made a spectacular game. Even though 2k has been good this gen, It still seems foreign to me, where as live 10 I felt at home with its demo and gameplay.

With its presentation, EA has always presented itself with real presentation. They don't bring in foreign people to do half time reports or someone like a clark kellog to go alongside a well known nba/nfl commentator.

That's not a dig at 2k, but imo, it does take away from the game.

I don't know, that's personally just me.
