I like the pace and flow of the game.
The shooting motions are terrible and it just doesn't have the control that the 2k games have. The player models seem too skinny. Definitely passing on this one.

And Video 2 should be up now!
After 3 games with no sliders set yet nor did I bump the speed. The game is better than I thought it would be. With slider tweaks, this game will play a very good game of basketball. I see some people complaining about And 1 moves and whatnot, but remember EA has to cator to everybody and this is just a video game. So cool action packed plays liek that I can deal with (remember March Madness and the glass shattering backboards-we use to think that was so cool)
With the addition of replays in easports world, I feel we are going to see some awesome videos from people. Not sure if they are adding the screenshot feature ala NCAA 09? Think about the dynasty possiblities. But this game is beautiful, it's just next gen to me. The practice gym is very cool and the fact that your teammates are there is a nice touch.
I still have not used the pick and roll, called a play or learn the quick strike moves. All things I'll delve into when I get home for a relaxing weekend. (Not sure how relaxing it'll be with a 16 month old child) But I look forward to learning all of it to add to the experience.
As far as the jumpshots, I too read that it would be based on the player pushing the button and not on the player's shot % like last year. My jumpshots in the game felt ok, never thought about it becasue I remember reading that blog. But I will test when I get home. If Beluba or any other players can shed some light on there experience, this would eb a major issue for me. I'd liek to feel in control of a made or missed shot. Freethrows are weird, but I like it better than the right stick freethrow shooting. I prefer 2k's right stick shooting free throws.
Over-all, I'm excited about the series and it looks like I'll be getting just NBA Live this year. I might rent NBA 2k9 but with all the games coming out in the fall, unless they do a 29.99 around christmas--2k9 is a rental.
I hope Madden and Live incorporate the online dynasty feature because that is taking 99% of my video gaming time right now That feature is awesome!

I don't understand what all the complaining is about. I'm a HUGE 2K fan but I think this demo plays a great game of basketball. Sure it's not as smooth as I'd like but the contact, especially regarding on the ball defense on the perimeter, and the pick and roll controls simply blow away 2k8. They even fixed the passing lanes so your not helpless when defending the pass.
I think by the time the full game is out many of the smaller issues will be ironed out.

I love watching BShadows videos because of how much he jumps around and reaches.

At around 2:15, user-controlled Gasol is doubling the Celtics' PG. The Celts get the ball to KG (who should be guarded by Gasol). KG does a turnaround for the score.
Steve Kerr chimes in "KG is too big for smaller players to guard".
It's like the commentary was specifically-based on the mismatch!!
I love this kind of stuff.
EDIT: Great video stumble.
And kudos to the EA devs getting in those stadium sounds. From the "Charge!" chant to "DEFENSE!", the crowd sounds amazing.

1 thing's for sure, this game could be really good with the proper sliders IMO. The ball/rim/net animations and interaction are pretty bad when compared to the competition. I think Aholbert said it best, this game is about a year away from being great.

There are alot of swishes but there are plenty of times when the ball bounces around the rim and/or hits the backboard. And I like the 'clank' sound that it gives off on a missed shot. Sounds more like a pickup game rather than an arena but it is a nice touch.
That was a concern of mine prior to the demo. I think either stumble or BS had a video where Kobe shot a long 3 and the ball sorta rimmed out straight up into the air, kind of like if one would say they had 'tight rims'. Looked great IMO.

Hopefully it has been reworked a bit.
