When the game starts, hit pause and switch teams. You choose.

Exactly! I was wondering y the left stick wasnt just simple movement but instead its fancy dribble moves. Its like you have no choice but to play and 1 basketball. Hopefully switching back to the default will solve that problem.

Man i love this DEMO!!.

Notes:

Players like D-Wade can strip the ball easy if bad ball handlers hold the ball if front of them.

Tapping RS in the same direction repeatedly does nice quick dribbles.

Double Tapping RS does a quick move which you can chain.

Post moves and controls are very nice.

Hands down really means man down this year, you have to be good at defense.

Westbrook, D-Wade and Lebron will be able to get to the rim like they should. but good defender make it really hard.

New style stick makes the game arcady.

This is not what the franchise was built on.

You had to work for your moves in the past.. now you don't

LeBron's headband looks weird.

Steals; aren't bad but I can see it being a problem online because good timing it can be a steal.

Ball bouncing off defenders foot; I played about 5 games against the CPU never happened, played 5 against my son and it happened 2/3 times a game (always a turnover). It only happens when you are using turbo and the defender runs in front of you.

Catching animations are a bit slow and sometimes take the player out of position. A few times I would pass to an open player near the hoop and they would go up slow or soft. Also once KD caught the pass and the animation took him under the rim then he shot a jumper from behind the backboard that was a turnover.

Dribbling is much better but sometimes delayed.

Other than that the demo is good!!

Did anyone hear Mercy on the soundtrack? The music was censored horribly, they reversed Big Sean's 'N' Word and it ended up as 'siggin". They could have just made the vocals silent there. At least it's better than Fast lane in 2k12.

Can you change the camera? I hate broadcast cam.

If you mean offline too, yes it does.

# 637 ForeverVersatile @ 09/25/12 08:37 PM

The controls aren't awful, just like anything new to you, you have to learn how to do them.. stop crying!!

# 638 Biagas @ 09/25/12 08:38 PM

If its that easy to break chalmers off with westbrook, iverson is going to be ridiculous lol.

# 639 adwin7 @ 09/25/12 08:39 PM

"Introducing thee control stick...."

How many times have you heard that today?

I'm really enjoying this game. My first quick match was a rage quit. Just takes a long time to get in.

But then if they make it hard for people to drive people will say it's canned animations. Personally I'm not worried since the game is on Pro Casual.
