Na...Michael on a demo...That would of wet the millions of casual users. Not the whole Jordan Challenge. I was considering having a situation set up for the user to play as the Bulls from behind in the fourth quarter with 4 minutes remaining. Something like that. Not this one player demo with 4 minutes. Its kind of lame in this day and age.

You just made it extremely hard to not download the demo. I'm a demo feen normally, but I'm trying my best not to download this so it'll all be fresh when it finally gets here.

Sounds like everything that us old heads could ask for, and then some.

Nice writeup Macca

This demo is awesome. Isomotion in the past I hated. I mean really hated. Made the game unplayable to me. It's been completely overhauled and this game runs like butta! This will be the only game to get NCAA out of my rotation.

Again, you need to think like a "regular" customer (whatever you want to call it), not like someone who knows almost everything about the game and would pay anything to have MJ (like us?). If 2K did that, these people would be focused on the MJ thing rather than the controls/defense/AI etc. So, for them it would be 2K10+Jordan. Even big MJ fans...would they pay $60 for only having Jordan? I don't know...

# 386 da ThRONe @ 09/14/10 02:21 PM

Will they release the my player training and draft like last year?

OOOHH I see what your saying now. (And I think you meant general customer)....Still think my idea would of been cooler..lol

But I wonder why release a one teamed one player game. My little brother wouldn't even give this game another look because he only plays with Dallas...and Dallas only.

# 388 HMcCoy @ 09/14/10 02:23 PM

-You can lose your dribble if you try to isomotion into the defender, and have to make a tough pass to get it out against the close D.

- I love how they automatically step back behind the line if they're close to it.

The one thing I still want to see implemented in 2K11 that was in ID04 was the ability to set individual players defense on how to play the pick and roll and how to play the post.

Anybody know if this is going to be in there as well?

You know what man... you're doing yourself an injustice by ignoring this demo

We usually agree, not this time...and it's ok, it was a good talk!

As for your brother, I know he likes to play with Dallas but...he doesn't like to play with LA??!! Does he know that's he's going to hell?

23, no need to delete this one, not gonna keep it...just wanted to end this converstion with Jeebs. Back on topic!

# 395 swac07 @ 09/14/10 02:28 PM

First injury Rondo was going up for a layup I kinda hard fouled him with fisher lol. we both fell..he got up holding his side in pain and walked off to the sideline they put nate robinson in.

I know I am... and I'm on pins & needles trying to tip toe around not downloading it. But it will be worth it when it comes out. I'll probably end up breaking before the day, but I'm trying to hold of.

# 397 youvalss @ 09/14/10 02:30 PM

I watched some youtube videos, and saw Rondo stripping the ball out of the user hands, and it's so great seeing the CPU doing it!

Hold off for what?

Look at HMC

Look at Reuben

Look at Sage

Look at Da Czar

Look at myself

Look at the DEMO!

Its all there for you in a 1qtr package.. you will NOT be disappointed

# 399 NINJAK2 @ 09/14/10 02:32 PM

Guys- How do Paul Pierce and Ray Allen look this year from a face model standpoint in the demo? If not too much trouble could someone post a screen capture?

# 400 HMcCoy @ 09/14/10 02:35 PM

2K9 and 10 forced you to move around with fancy animations, and that could get frustrating. This year they're optional, but so so buttery. Between this, Fifa 11, and COD, the lack of sleep Im going to be dealing with in a month is gonna be brutal. Blurry eyes, sleep paralasys...Thanks 2K!

Oh man my vids are gonna to be sick, lol. Momentous! I'mma callin you out.
