It's getting ridiculous. As if you're on some sort of mission to prove the game isn't what everyone else is saying.
Why are you playing it so much then?

After playing the demo for a while as well as going back to play 2K10, I have to say I really enjoy this game even without actually playing the retail version. I think this game really gives a clear impression of what 2K's NBA games have been seeking to achieve (their current direction as well as the aim of previous versions).
Playing the PS3 and 360 versions, it feels like the PS3 is on a slightly higher difficulty. I've seen more open lanes and opportunities to dunk on the 360. The controls are really, really fun. The rhythm and momentum created by the iso moves are definitely meaningful. It's fun to use the moves to poke, prod and get the defender off balance to make a move. Conversely, it is great to understand that and disrupt that flow on defense. Once I got that it was great to see the defense missing shots by messing with their rhythm.
The floor spacing and contact is also very, very engaging. In the past, running plays seemed tedious, but it'll be great to use plays to get open looks. I love how meaningful it is to look not only at the players, but also the open lanes and spacing or lack thereof to determine your next move and when to pass, shoot or drive.
The camera movement and zooming are great this year. 2K9 had the scale of the players in proportion to the screen correct, but without the scale to the court correct and 2k10 felt like the reverse. This year because the key zoom really moves closer to the action the players are the correct proportion to the screen as well as the court. It genuinely mimics a real broadcast.
As for jagged edges, comparing 720p Xbox 360 to 1080i PS3 is as close as it has ever been. The interlacing definitely creates the illusion of smooth transitions around the edges of the players and this year is definitely a step up from 2K10 in my eyes.

also, since the demo is all i have to judge the game on, I can't be sure that the CPU will be better at staying in front of off ball cutters on harder difficulties, so i figured i might as well mention it.

hopefully this won't be an issue on harder difficulties. i will play the game on a different setting when i get it and i will mention it in that impressions thread as well if it continues to be a problem.

u could chose whether u threw a lob pass. a chest pass. and a bounce pass.
the triggers were involved i think...
im not 100% but i do remember tryin and the lob pass was always a lob pass.
try some diff combos u might find the right 1

I asked Ronnie about the Intentional-Foul-the-Inbound-Passer glitch if the devs were aware of it. This was his response.

Yeah, I hope that it is addressed in a day 1 patch not somewhere down the line...I don't even know how I stumbled across this. I think was trying to put my hands up to impede the inbounder and came across this. Like someone stated earlier, the ref just stands there counting not inbounding or anything. Now in the demo, u can't call timeout or anything so, who knows what retail will be like. But its def. something they should look at very hard!

Boy, your statements are so definitive, you'd think they were actual fact. Did VC write you a letter detailing their PS3 development or something? If you have an opinion, state your opinion and leave it at that. Don't try to apply to the rest of the world. It's clear they spend most of their time working on the game as it applies to ALL platforms and not just trying to squeeze every drop out of the PS3. It may not look as good at the 360, but it still looks good. It's acceptable so just move on.

so you're saying that i should wait until the full game comes out to mention anything? if there is a problem in the demo, it might be a problem in the full game as well...so I don't see anything wrong with someone mentioning a problem that exists in the demo.
all i said was: i wish big men would stay in the lane to defend off ball cutters rather than coming out to double the PG at the freethrow line, thus allowing their man to cut behind them for layups and dunks....
explain to me how is that not a valid complaint? i saw something in the game that I felt could be improved and I wrote about it...that's what impressions thread are for.

Here's my demo rant.
I find it really obnoxious that they have the ability to run plays, but disabled them. That's the main thing--the only thing, really--that I wanted to try out with this demo, is running plays. And yes, I've seen that there's some kind of workaround, but I can't get it to work for me.
I just don't understand why you would disable a crucial feature that would tell us a lot about the game. It's not like anyone would just be happy with the demo and not buy the retail if they included the ability to run plays. But as a demo, it's completely worthless for me personally, because I can't tell anything about this game from just freestyling around aimlessly.
I bought Live the last two years, and I have really high hopes for 2K11, but honestly this whole thing really soured me on the game. I don't want to buy the game and take the chance that the playcalling system isn't what I want it to be, because for me it's a obviously a big deal. I might just skip it this year.
Had to get that off my chest.

Forget about the score, just pay attention at 4:01...I'm still not sure if Kobe made the basket or it was Bynum. Looks real!
By the way, is it all these videos or Rondo really has red hair?

One thing I love about the game is that you can actually make jumpshots now. It has to do with the spacing which has already been touched on. In 2k10, you could be "open" but if the guy was next you, you'd just miss it. Now, with this new spacing thing, you can make mid range and 3s because the spacing is more in tune with the game flow. I'm loving it!
