I just fouled out Kobe with intentional fouls lol. I did it with Fisher first then Blake came in playing like garbage, so I tried it with Kobe. I had some better oops with Brown but I wasn't ready to record.

# 826 maine0618 @ 09/15/10 12:02 AM

The demo was good, but I already told myself if they cant give us at least a equal port I wasnt buying. I think 2k made someimprovements, but they still skipped a lot of things that needed corrected. I love the presentation swipes though. 2k knows how to do things, thats why I dont understand why they leave jaggies, and poor coach,sideline,crowd models every year. Paul Pierce still looks like a monkey or something. Wake up 2k!

Great decision wheel , did you vote for Bush not his first term his 2nd.

I bought both games last year, and after playing them both for a bit I ended up sticking with and playing the competitors game last year. I really embraced their "total control" scheme...it was something new and different. That said, after playing this demo, while I acknowledge the effort 2K has made to improve thier Isomotion system, I'm still left wanting a bit more "responsive" control. Perhaps it is due to the momentum/weight delay implemented, as many have described? Maybe it is just me in general adapting to a new control scheme (the competitors) quickly? I don't know...I just hope the Isomotion/control in the final build of 2K11 is a tad upgraded from the demo. So from what the limited demo allows us to critique, that is really my only personal gripe at the moment.

Aside from that gripe...2K has obviously made a beautiful game (whether it is on the 360, PS3, or PC)....I took a moment to recall playing both Jordan vs. Bird and Lakers vs. Celtics on my old computer growing up. My how far we've come!

The computer AI, 2K has unveiled in this game is amazing. Obviously Czar's video's show how polished the playbooks have become! But it isn't only the realistic court spacing and moving I'm talking about. The important thing to me is that not only does the computer make educated decisions, but they also make the occasional error, which to me has been a fairly blatant ommision from many sports games in general for a long time. I'm somewhat in awe of the natural gameflow 2K has been able to present by adding this dynamic.

All these new animations look great. Like I said, some of the dribbling animations (as a result of the controls IMO) still make it look a little "videogamey" at times, but the dunks, jumpers, leaners, and general animations are flat out phenominal visually!!!

Very excited to see how the classic teams turn out in the final (plug for '96 Sonics)...

I'm sure I'll get both games again this year, then I'll curse out both companies for not making a college basketball game anymore. Perhaps I'll go with 2K11 on the PC version? Those mods are sick!!! All in all, looking forward to video game hoops in 2010-2011!

It is available in 1080p since at least 2k9 or maybe even from the beginning of the next gen era. Only thing you need to do is force 1080p in Display Settings Menu by "unchecking" any other resolution.

I don't see any major AI issues.

Only minus of PS3 version - no player chatter during play.

# 831 LingeringRegime @ 09/15/10 12:07 AM

This game is so smooth. The demo exceeded my hopes gameplay wise. October can't get here soon enough.

# 832 RoyalBoyle78 @ 09/15/10 12:07 AM

not blown away from tyhe demo, even though I think the PS3 is on par with graphics.

Kinda felt like 2k10. guess thought I was expecting more

# 833 ybtherockstar @ 09/15/10 12:12 AM

I was dancing on Ray allen with kobe. It was amazing. I love this demo and can't wait for Oct. 5th. It so realistic and smooth the animations are on par.

# 834 CaCHooKa Man @ 09/15/10 12:17 AM

i also love how its tougher to catch bad passes

2k10 Ran in 720P according to my Sony TV. I tried different options to get it into 1080P I just think the game was never built that way. Other 1080p Games are recognized that way as far as my TV goes.

I really like the animations.

# 836 greenegt @ 09/15/10 12:26 AM

I absolutely love it. The demo, while barebones, is really polished. I have no complaints, at this point.

Player movement/control? Very good. No more "stuck in an animation" feeling.
CPU AI? Fantastic.
Court spacing? Great.
Arena atmosphere? Top notch.

This game is looking like an all-time classic.

They do. It's already been spelled out. More steals. Tougher interior defense. Lower percentages. Beluba and Czar has already spelled all of this out.

# 838 RabihF @ 09/15/10 12:41 AM

can someone tell me why the scoreboard to see the points is all the way in the corner of my T.V. with that being said it is impossible to see what the time and score is

p.s i moved it to another t.v and the problem is still happening

# 839 domidomdomz @ 09/15/10 12:47 AM

Has anyone pulled Kobe's reverse pivot move and captured it on a video to share?

# 840 SacKings1999 @ 09/15/10 12:48 AM

I can't stop playing this demo!

I can't believe how much harder it is to force the ball inside this year- that alone makes this night and day better than 2k10. I also love how you can't run full speed full court and go baseline all day. So awesome...

Every aspect of the game seems like a significant upgrade from last year. I know it's just a 4 minute demo, but it feels like all of my 2k10 gripes have been answered. We are all in for a treat this season.

This isn't even on Sim setting and it already lends itself very well to playing basketball instead of playing video games
