maybe it will take some getting used to but i don't feel like i have total control over player movement. and what about controlling the shot blocking? seems pretty pre-canned to me...

I highly doubt this.

Im almost done with my PS3 Dl as well so Ill confirm if both teams are available or not... 360 version is fun though

# 686 Gotmadskillzson @ 09/14/10 09:13 PM

yeah that pic is way too large....

# 687 erickonasis @ 09/14/10 09:14 PM

2 hours to download a demo on PSN

that seems about right....main reason my ps slim is collecting dust right now

# 688 SeerMagicX @ 09/14/10 09:15 PM

this game may have great animations, but player movement is still god awful. I was really hyped about this one with the vids I seen and old teams being in. instead it'll be the 4th 2k game in a row that is unplayable to me.

i confirm that you can't use the celtics on ps3 demo...i'm playing it right now...it automatically starts the game with you as the lakers.

You cannot play with both teams on the PS3 who ever is spreading that is lying

# 692 blacboy @ 09/14/10 09:17 PM

Just played both ps3/360, ps3 definitely seems ported as far as graphics go but they do win in the sound quality department.

It's in the 360 demo, just hold RB and use the RS to pass. I've gotten a couple good 2-on-1 results through it. Not as good for general passing as A or Icon Lead Passing though, ends up being a deflection due to horrid passing angles.

The spin move is effective in the game when you sell the defender.

I'm actually using the spin moves to my advantage quite a bit. What situations are you using them in? Or are you talking about spinning from the post or the layup/dunk spins?

# 695 blues rocker @ 09/14/10 09:21 PM

right stick passing is in the ps3 demo...you have the make sure the keep the right bumper held down when you move the stick.

i knew it wasn't just me

# 697 BroMontana82 @ 09/14/10 09:24 PM

any chance we can start and sticky an impressions only thread? this is getting cluttered and i've seen only a few actually comments about the demo or impressions.

# 698 FlyRice @ 09/14/10 09:24 PM

Are the PS3 graphics that much worse?

"God awful" "unplayable"??? You're ridiculous......I don't know what you're talking about. I hated the player movement in 2k10 and preferred the player movement of Live. But this DEMO shows the player movement of the 2k series has been completely revised. As a matter of fact, I'd go as far as saying it feels a lot like Live did, which I'm sure has something to do with Mike Wang coming back to 2k. Perhaps you just need some practice with the sticks!
