It's not Sony. Microsoft made a boo-boo in putting it up early.

This demo is way better than Live 08. I like the gameplay for the most part, except for the sluggish moves. If the movement was smoother I could see myself playing this a lot. I like how in practice you can change the courts and practice with all of your teammates, just wish i could change players. I hope you can practice like that while in a season. I actually like practicing more than playing a real game right now, maybe when i can play a full game i can get a better feel for it.

I'm going to mention 2k, so I'm sorry mods!
What I like about 2k's system, is that it's based more of of momentum than strictly "timing", so getting was just a matter of following the logic of the body movements. Maybe it's something similar here, but right now it seems more about timing the animations, like in a fighting game. Sports games should move towards physics, and away from frame data as much as possible when it comes to game mechanics.
I am jealous at you guys.. would really like to try the games on my ps3, but have to wait for one more week (and a little more because of a working trip)... Keep posting the impressions..
Looks like Live is getting it pretty right this year and delivers a nice game of basketball..

Note for Bigeast re: the opening tip... it's a twitch game now. Just keep your eyes on the ref and as soon as the ball leaves his hands, hit Y. First one to hit the button wins, but if you press it too early, you lose. Hope that helps.
I still don't like the animations. Almost everything the players do have a hitch or an unnatural transition, which looks pretty bad.
Man...I am downloading the demo right now I have a question if anyone could answer...Is Paul Peirce the only player you can use the gym?

09 is a solid game, can't see myself playing it long term though. I'll definitely pick it up used when the price drops.

I'm like 0-10 in tip-offs.

I played 2 games and had to delete the demo off of my xbox. It is HOT GARBAGE. The way the players move haven't changed since the '06 demo. It boggles my mind how most of you can play such an awkward basketball game. EA can't compete with 2K's smoothness.

We get it dude.
I wouldn't call it garbage...I do wish it was smoother though.
