Here are my impressions (+/-)
Positives (+)
-Player movement
-Great foul animations
-Loose/jump ball sequences
-Fast Break logic
-Offensive/Defensive sets
-Player Spacing
-Live video for intro
-Nasty dunks
-Actually showed current Shooting % in overlay
-Graphics (after 1080p /sharpness tweaks)
-Actually calling charges
-I was fronted by a defender and got pass intercepted
-Help defense
-Rondo around the back layup
-Animations!!!
Negatives(-)
-players looked like glass figures
-Players seemed smaller (perhaps farther cam angle thank 2k8?)
-Anouncer sometimes says only last name? (was that in 2k8 too?)
-Multiple White shirt guy in stands walking aimlessly
-Non-randomness of foam finger crowd animations.
-Noticed some iffy end of quater logic (shoot after time expires down by 2)
-Same into music during pregame right before tipoff (come on 2k, give us new music at least)
-I saw rondo pass behind his head to player 3 feet behind him?
-Slow steal animation (def risk/reward...more risk IMO)
-They called penalty situation on first foul (charging foul)
-Annoying pass/block sound bite, (did 2k8 sound that annoying?)
-That mystery guy clapping echo (you know what i'm talking about)
Overall great impression Demo 9.5 out of 10.

I have to go to sleep.. unfortunately. Finished off with a beautiful Kobe to Bynum oop as time expired though. I'm loving the steal animations as well... or hte attempted steals.
Another note... Kobe beats Ray easily... and taking it to the tin... Garnett just fouls the **** out of him, sending Kobe to the floor HARD. Garnett just sits there above him.. glaring... Kobe gets up gingerly.. and it zooms in on his face... He's grimacing pretty badly.. and starts holding his back. He has a nasty scowl on his face... the camera goes to KG who screams something... and back to Kobe... Shoots a FT... grimaces again... hits the second... and continues play. It was amazing looking.

BAH! First instance of "I wish they had the Euphoria engine..."
I'm watching CPU vs. CPU just to see some animations, and Kobe gets out on a break after an ill-advised corner 3 from Ray Ray, but Allen catches up as he's going up for a MONSTER dunk over Rondo and knocks him face first onto the ground with the old 2K8 punch 'em in the back of the head animation (it seemed Odom loved to do that last year). Only, the way the animation worked out, Kobe's lower half would have landed on Rondo's shoudler and he'd of done a front flip onto his back while knocking Rondo out. Which would of been really epic.

What a first game 
Celtics (me) beat LA 10-9 with a 3 by Pierce with 3 seconds left

what's the difference between hitting the circle button for a screen instead of clicking the thumbstick?

Have always loved 2K and I know this is a demo, BUT…..pick and roll success is still there. Just scored 8 straight buckets by Garnett by running the p& roll from top of key with Pierce and they never stopped it once. Keep in mind I realize I’m not sure what difficulty slider this demo is on, but this will be used non stop online for an offensive dunkfest (7 of my 8 hoops were dunks) Also, my second run through, Fisher shot 6 3’s (hit 1). Only one hit was a wide open shot, the rest were forced up early in the shot clock. Hope this is not like Live’s overpowering point guard play. The Lakers AI should NOT have been running their offense through Fisher

i c u cant stop me @ 10/03/08 02:25 AM
Whats with everyone saying theres some guy in the crowd that keeps making a loud clapping noise...i havent played it yet as iam a 360 owner.
Couple of things
KG can get his fadeaway blocked in the post same as the other game
Isomotion feels different but controls about the same, not as herky jerky
Pace feels really good IMO, I dont think the demo is as fast as what we saw on the vids
Ray Allens jumper does feel too slow
no commentary, no plays, no sliders, and some of the textures to me look like zombie players...its a demo though
The beginning presentation is nice to watch while the game loads
PP sig ft shot in the game
game feels a little different but if you love 2k much then you'll love this
teammates run around screens, set pics, etc... which is nice for a pace
variety of layups and stuff when you drive with the shot stick and no not like what PP did in that first trailer, just game situation layups, a nice touch
Its easier to strip guys when you're under the basket and they're running a break on you and tries to go for a layup
Im kinda indifferent at this moment, havent played enough but alot of you guys are definitely more excited than me
Oh and KG doing windmills and stuff on people DC is gonna puke
I also tommy'd on Lamar with KG and swore I heard him scream when he dunked it aaaaaaahhhhhhh
Off to play more

Derek Fisher is a god in this game. He drains 3 after 3 after 3. AND does anyone feel that its very easy to drop the 3 point bomb at any given moment? I am comfortable saying that I can hit 60-70% at ease in this demo. In fact, my last game I threw up all 3's and hit 8 of 9. GREAT Demo tho. 
It almost took til tuesday to dwnld!!! Great though & player anims r sooo real (Kobe for ex), can't wait for the finished product.
