First ever experience with ps3 version. I think it looks gorgeous and the gameplay is phenominal. Did last years version show the Ref put up his arms signaling a 3 point try? I noticed it here and dont remember. I'm looking forward to playing the 360 demo in the morning and see how it compares. Tuesday cant come fast enough!!

Word, Sixaxis for life, I couldn't go back to regular free throws now. Adds a lot of drama to every shot because it feels like you're really shooting it (and it's nice when players like Chris Paul or Tyson Chandler are a real bitch to get down).
About to start my second game - it seems like no one has mentioned this but the game feels twice as slow as 2K8, despite everyone saying it looked fast. I tried one post move with Garnett, and while I liked that it was totally under my control it seemed VERY drawn out. Maybe this is just something I have to get used to.

Kobe just reached on a Ray Allen jumpshot... Ref calls the foul. Kobe just stands there looking at the ref... a few seconds go by, he shakes his head and rolls his eyes in disgust. Hilarious.
lol I'm so confused!?!?! Haven't had time to try the demo yet, but I've read numerous posts saying the game is a jaggy low res mess, and many others saying its absolutely beautiful? Guess I'll have to wait until I play it to know for sure, but people seem to be having completely opposite experiences here.
One thing I just immediately noticed - Odom pulled down a rebound and had a good distance on Pierce, but controlling Pierce I was able to catch up to Odom by the time he got righ past the top of the arc. Nice to see player speed having a real impact.
Just tried my first leaner (never played a basketball game with this option) and Pierce boinked it off the side of the backboard with 4 seconds left - luckily KG came in and slammed home the rebound just like he did in that massive playoff game (was that against the Lakers? or the Cavs? forget)

Lowering the sharpness definitely helped, the jaggies are pretty much gone.
1. The off the ball movement is amazing for both teams. I was worried about it being a 'some of the time' thing in some of the videos Steve posted but 2K really nailed it. That should help raise the replay of this game tremendously, to me at least.
2. DC is may have a mild stroke, lol. I saw Pau Gasol catch the ball at the high post and dribble behind his back not once but twice trying to take Bynum to the tin. I also saw Powe throw a pinpoint behind-the-back pass from the baseline out to Pierce on the wing behind the arch. Rating adjustments should take care of this.
3. The CPU seems to be more on a mission this year, they do move more quickly without the ball and attack much better than in 2K8. One game when I was the Lakers the C's were 5-5 from three on me, nuts. As the Celtics, one game they gave the ball to Kobe almost every time down and then in another game they really pounded it inside to Bynum and Gasol. At least one big man got a post touch on each possession.
4. Oh, and did I mention the layups are ridiculously good?
Overall, a big thumbs up for this one so far.

Wow after 2 games the gameplay is crazy REAL. This Feels like nba2k7 demo all over. After playing 2k7 all i could say is WOW now i feel the same about 2k9.

That was just nasty what I pulled off though. Once I get the hang of it, it'll be fun.
Right now, graphically... not up to par in my eyes. I'm hoping they kinda dumbed down the court texture to lower the demo size. 1080p looks better... but there are a lot of things that are blurry, that shouldn't be blurry.
Overall, very nice though.

some of the mid air shot adjustments looks way to overdone. But some look amazing, i wish this demo had replay so i can take a video of some of these things but it doesnt o well.
WOW, something I've been waiting FOREVER FOR!
I'm late to get in position and Fisher streaks into the paint and barely gets a flaoter in past KG's outstretched hands, but he immediately picks it up and (holding X) inbounds it to Rondo while Fisher is collapsing to the ground out of bounds and rolling over, and Rondo takes advantage and pushes up court, then I do a little behind the back action and dance around Bynum for the lay-in. I see Rondo take advantage of that kind of thing often but you could never EVER do it in 2K8.
