I think that was in reference to pull up jumpers. You still have to take the extra step like in 2k8.

Wow did anyone notice how nice of a guy yao ming is??? look around the 1:12 mark.

This was BY FAR the best gameplay video, (aside form the HD gametrailers one of course). The off ball movement and some of the animations are jaw dropping. The onyl thing that was weird was tony parker doing a magical 360 dribbling up to half court. Just to show how laggy these videos are, watch the scorers table when they are running down the court, it looks like it's running at 30 fps LOL. That definitely hold back how great this game actually looks. Great videos Steve, hope to see another gameplay video soon, preferrably Blazers vs someone

That was a beautiful looking animation by Alston at the 3:32 mark of the game clock. And oh my God, they played Mystikal (or a variation of "Here I Go") at around the 2:44 mark of the gameclock. That's tight! Seeing Artest playing ball denial was nice, even if it was on Bowen. This will be nice putting top defensive players on top offensive ones. The crowd and atmosphere is just sick.

say trobinson can you youtube the other videos to, thanks.

Blazers vs magic would be nice...D-howard vs greg oden. Of course though the magic will win.

Yeah, I went back and heard it... it does have some reverb on it but the highs are still too pronounced. Take a listen to this sound clip if you get a chance, to me this is how real arena music should sound.

Was there any "sig" styles defensively that any of you noticed?

I mean with Artest, Bowen, Duncan and Battier, there should have been something in there.

Unless that Artest ball denial was a "sig". Is he the only one that did it or can do it?

And is there any other "sig" defensive moves you guys noticed?

# 49 Shakedowncapo @ 09/20/08 09:01 PM

That was easily the best video...Nice job steve.

My hype meter is creeping back up

This game does have reverb(not as much as nhl09 which is one of the best sports games to come out on the 360) but it sounds good enough.

Nothing special, but there were a few instances where Artest was playing some good deny defense on bowen.

That parker jumpshot looked amazing. look at his feet?? 2k9 has so many animations its scary. btw, steve what level is this? I saw a legitimate USER fastbreak. if this is on all pro or higher, id be ecstatic. you can also see the CROWD being shut down and silenced? It's 100% possible to not have a huge "playoff" type atmosphere 24/7. making those moments that more exciting when they happen

I think Steve has the overlays turned off or something. I saw a few in the gamestop and gametrailers videos but none in the OS videos.

Where is the justice, why does Steve get to play the game when we have to wait for 2 more weeks

# 58 Jano @ 09/20/08 09:25 PM

I liked the video it looked great.

The only negative I saw was how bunched up the players got at times. If there was a bit more space between the players I think the game would play even better.

One thing I liked about the Live demo is how you can break off of a play and still making something happen. Because there is enough space from player to player to improvise a little.

Where as in this game it seems like breaking away from a play causes the players to get bunched up. And I think its because of the small amount of space between each player.

Even with the improved off ball AI its still hard for the CPU to understand they have to move. Because the space between you and them may not be large enough for the AI to see whats going on and then react accordingly, in a fast manner that is.

If this game had the spacing found in Live it would be great because it would give the AI more than enough time to react to whats going on. Which I think is the biggest problem for this game in terms of spacing.
