I'll tell you what.. I'm really, REALLY curious to see guys who "game" get a hold of 2k11. It's going to be interesting to say the least.

While there still might be cheese in the game, a lot of the non-sense that used to be a part of the 2k bball series seems to be disappearing very steadily...

whats the default...camera relative or absolute?

my whole time playing this game i think i only did one layup...all the stuff i did where mostly jumpers and a few dunks here and there...

and how do you shoot with Artest! im like 0 for 10 with that fool

the spin/euro step gather is an unstoppable play, they need to fix that.

I'm a PS3 owner who's waiting..... I see most people like the game while some others are griping at things that appear trivial for me, but for them I guess is a big issue. At the end of the day, unless the game is completely terrible, I will have this game on launch day. and from most of the accounts I've read, it's better than 2K10 by a country mile. And the fact that I can use my fav team (3 Peat comin' June 2011) makes this demo even sweeter. Dang it Sony lets get this thing crackin'!!!!!!!

Love the game. I like how smooth everything runs. The thing that jumped out at me was a block I had on Rondo. He was driving to the lane and layed it up, I switched to Kobe and swatted it out of bounds...(been waiting to do that for awhile). Also I notice that when I went to dunk, Kobe took a guide step and then threw down a strong 2 hand (looked very realistic). I also like how the gatorade moment of the game replay only showed up on a play that was worth, on the play I jumped up to take a jumpshot and somehow threw a behind the back pass to Gasol for a easy dunk. Everything was a plus, I just wish I could have got in a whole game, or been able to substitute (wanted to sub in Shannon Brown).

I keep asking myself what happened to all the youtube videos I see usually like 2 hours after the demo release? There are hardly any youtube videos so far...

I just realized, fan of the Yankees and also a fan of the Lakers... hm...

I can't believe I just read like 30 pages of this thread.

# 508 Gmoney2002 @ 09/14/10 05:06 PM

Man, this work day has been easy thanks to this thread. 60 pages of mostly insightful comments. Most of my time in the demo will be spent on getting used the player movement. Scoring and Isomotion can come after...

I understand it could just be because I have played the full game but this is just bad to me. To exclude one of your best features out of the demo is a FAIL.... So I downloaded the demo and played a few games early and haven't touched it since. MEH... and YES I'm serious. Please use the feathering of the stick to avoid the heavy shifts in momentum. Remember the slightest defensive movements can get you open... YOu don't HAVE to cross someone if a simple change of direction will do. I was so heavy handed coming from 2k10 that I know that has to effect more of you guys also. Try it out on both offense and defense. On d try to use the least amount of pressure that will keep you in front of your man.

On that note, it's CLEAR that you no long have "help" from the game controlling your guy. If anything, this is the biggest adjustment. Everything is on you now. So don't screw yourself. Total control. No more assist from the AI.

He makes open threes and muscle contact layups

# 511 Goffs @ 09/14/10 05:09 PM

oh man i just got shook by Rondo...i was playing him tight then next thing you know it he did some moves and my *** was on the floor...

its not like the ones from 2k10 either i mean this was straight embarrassment on my part...i wish i can save some of this stuff...

People are real busy playing the game. No time to edit and load up videos.

Just another ps3 owner waiting. It's all good once I get the demo I'll be off OS for a while. 30 pages of information mostly positive. I'm really excited.

# 513 JWiLL02 @ 09/14/10 05:10 PM

Ohh man, was 10-10 coming down for a last shot with Kobe, hit Von Wafer with the sig gather right into a fade at the buzzer.

FINALLY you'll be able to execute in late clock situations in a realistic fashion. Was ridiculous how the defensive player could literally prevent you from even getting a shot off in 2k10 just by riding you with the steal button up court.

Also, Von Wafer's jumper looks great. Jump shooting in general just feels fantastic. There seems to be a dynamic release point on everything now, even hooks shots if I've been feeling that correctly.

Kobe has a good 6 sig shots, at least, and I'm just talking jumpers. Pretty amazing.

I also did Kobe's sig floater moving right-left across the lane, that sort of one handed flick jumper, swished it in nicely over Perk.

REALLY wanted to use Rondo...I still don't get the one team demo, who the hell came up with that idea!? The Lakers really have only 1 great ball handler in Kobe, with the Celtics you have 3 in that starting line up. Really missed a chance to let us get used to this isomotion.

# 514 lboog0680 @ 09/14/10 05:11 PM

havent downloaded the demo yet but i plan on it...i wonder if 2k11 improved on 3sec in the key? not sure if anyone touched on this...it was horrible in 2k10... cpu camped in the key alot longer than 3 sec...

# 515 jlbrown143 @ 09/14/10 05:13 PM

Fellas loving the impressions.....but I was wondering why no one is really talking about the passing...have you guys been able to do the wrap around passes and bounce passes on demand? 2k I told you guys "blocks" were gonna be bigg..!!! I can't wait to slap somebody's shot out the gym..lol (can you guys hear the blocks this year? now that you have the demo?)

Also I noticed we don't see alot of the walking in the stands with the same people as much this year so far.....

alot more variety.

does derek fisher shoot with that crazy high arc on his shot....anybody?

how does phil jackson's face look in the game? anybody figure out how to do the flagrant fouls yet?

# 516 HoosierDaddy @ 09/14/10 05:13 PM

Ronnie just said via twitter, wasn't something they planned to do. He's not sure why you can only pick the Lakers.

Try fouling out Kobe, Brown should come in for him huh?

Going to DL it after work tonight...

Last year was the most i ever played a 2K basketball game. I still don't know all of the contols....LOL!

But the animations are sick that's why i enjoyed it so much. Players act like real ballers most of the time.
