Sometimes I have to use the shot stick twice, it's as if Ray is stuck in an animation during my first attempt at shooting. It's as if he has to go from "running off a screen animation" to "neutral" to "shooting" after I press the shot stick. Not good.

Ehh, if you're not doing this already, I would suggest you use Icon passing for players coming off screens. Also, use the shoot button as oppose to the shot stick. I only use the shot stick for layups and dunks.

Lol so ea is saying "Hey if you dont buy our game new your gonnia have to pay $20 bucks!!!" So if you buy the game used for $40 you still going to have to pay $60 which is just like buying it new. If you want to use their hyped feature this year.

Imma have to chalk up the textures looking like this...because of the demo size?

Has pared commented on this?

I'm almost positive this demo is Beta. Combined with that clapping glitch, some of the animations seeming a little off, NO coach's control at all. I can see why perhaps Sony and MS delayed this demo.

Playing several times on my friend's PS3 (can't wait for the 360 demo), I noticed a few things: the jump-shooting is still a little sluggish and the graphics weren't quite as crisp as I expected (from the Press camera..but close-ups were nice), but I enjoyed the new animations and the overall gameplay a lot

# 289 Scoop 24 @ 10/02/08 10:40 PM

the feet setting seems a bit overdone this year.

# 290 i c u cant stop me @ 10/02/08 10:41 PM

Guys lets just wait to see what the 360's version gonnia look like. Also does anyone know what the size of the 360 demo is going to be?

How did you change the camera? Broadcast is my preference but I think Isomotion is easier to practice with 2K if I could use it.

The 2K8 demo looked the same as the game IMO!

# 294 Nodima @ 10/02/08 10:45 PM

That's what I thought but he said he used the Press camera.

Also I'm kind of glad I don't own an HDTV, I didn't even notice the court's logo looked so bad until I left the game paused to type one of these posts.

# 295 WTF @ 10/02/08 10:48 PM

If I weren't drinking, some of my videos would turn out decent I'm sure, haha. This demo is a lot of fun. Can't wait to get the full version to see how the controls are...and textures.. and commentary... etc.

# 296 i c u cant stop me @ 10/02/08 10:52 PM

Iam try to look for this "blurry" center court logo when the 360 demo comes out. can anyone take a pretty good picture of it?

# 298 Scoop 24 @ 10/02/08 10:55 PM

i love the fact you gotta be realistic with your passes or it gets picked off now.

# 299 danqb11 @ 10/02/08 10:56 PM

Does anyone not have sound with the demo? I got no sound at all.
