cheers mate thanks for that.

Tiny size of the demo could explain the low res graphics maybe?

Can someone tell me how to take running layups just like Fisher does every 3 possessions? I used to hit those sweet spots all the time in 2K8 but I can't find any of them in this game.



The rest of my offense is starting to open up a little though.


To the other guy, I don't even personally think this is more than a Beta build if anything. I wonder if that clapping sound is a glitch related to certain plays, because it's never been mentioned in any videos or heard before. And directional passing doesn't always work. So I'm not knocking the game because of any of this, jsut observing that the game is pretty different.

One thing that I don't' believe has been mentioned is, they finally fixed those up close layups. This was evident in Steve's vids but playing the game myself you truly appreciate this. Gone are those ridiculous fade away shots when you're directly underneath the basket. A simply layup off the backboard never looked so sweet.

I will definately be getting this on 360 though. Lowered sharpness or not, I would imagine the 360 looks a bit cleaner...

Seriously.

I think he is trying to say he can't play in 720p and have poor... I don't what he is trying to say.

Take a deep breath, and type.

NOT TRUE. I took a backwards-leaning shot from the left of the basket, which both Kobe and Bynum swatted away from Perkins. He was standing right under the hoop, then with a flick of the shot stick he rotated and jumped backward, holding the ball out over his head in the middle of the court. That was the only time I kind of got angry with this Demo so far.

This game i sickkk so many animations.

But i need help with isomotion help me plz
 
# 268 kobestopper @ 10/02/08 10:19 PM
isomotion with kobe is easy to get into the paint. the spins are soooooooo fast. but the game was on pro so i'm sure its harder to drive on higher difficulty
 
# 269 hustlin @ 10/02/08 10:20 PM
I dunno man, the only jaggies I saw were in the menus and someone posted to turn down the sharpness. So I did and now I don't see any. My HD set is top of the line tho.
Try pausing the game, going to choose sides, let the cpu play itself and make some adjustments to your set. I did, and this game is absolutely, positively georgeous. I'll still d/l it on my daughter's 360 tho, just to see which is better.
 
# 270 Lagoa @ 10/02/08 10:20 PM
Sorry my english! hahahaha

I try to say NBA 2k9 have terrible textures in 720p!

2k8 is very, very better. I dont think so is because a demo. If camera zoom in textures looks fine....

2ksports fail if full game show this poor textures.

I hope you understand my english! hehehe

Just play about 10 games (1 qtr a piece)...overall..seems like the same with little adjustments...saw some cool new animations..but I am leaning more towards Live and haven't said that for a while...2K just seems boring to me....

I know I am in the minority and believe me I never like next gen Live....I just hope the dynasty and other features make this a must have...

one thing that confused me was when I was downloading the demo, I notice Live had a 19.99 add on for the updated DNA stuff...Is that right? I can't believe I would need to pay $80 bucks to get the full benefit of Live...

# 274 Nodima @ 10/02/08 10:22 PM
Kobe just pump faked on the perimeter and drew me (R. Allen) into a foul. So the CPU will use that trick too.


Also there's this really cool shot they sometimes do for free throws that's the basic view, but more zoomed out so you can see into the upper decks of the Garden. I imagine on an HDTV that looks fantastic.

Hmmm. From the time I've played, every shot directly under the basket has either been that new one-handed layup animation off the backboard or the two handed slight backwards leaning shot I think you speak of. That backhanded shot is fine its not as exaggerated as in the past IMO.

u should try reading if you buy the game theres a code in the book that unlocks it free. its says it right in the profile of the download.

The game is great on the PS3, gameplay and graphics are amazing. I don't know what's wrong with some people HDTV's but if they turn down there sharpness, which should be set low on a HDTV and put the PS3 in 1080P mode for NBA 2K9 demo, the game looks great. It looks good in 720P but try it in 1080P. I remember the 2K7 and 2K8 demo's not looking as good as the final version, so I know Tuesday when I get the real game I will be even more impressed.

this is why you are in the minority. Live is going to jerk you as always and you will come back to 2k. not trying to bash you but i played 2k and live already so you will see. trust me and thats the truth
