Now that the game is out, keep impressions in this thread.

This is for impressions ONLY, not to find out if #34 is wearing the right colored headband.

If I can I have JUSt downloaded the demo will the full game being available to me later tonight.

I would like to say some quick things just about the demo though.

I immediately see better foot planting. THIS is a major game advancement as in NBA 2k8 (though decent after a slider tweak i was able to come across to solve some sliding )

I can't tell you how much more solid the gameplay feels in this game whereas the nba one feels very showboaty this feel like str8 up Basketball. Almost everything flows right. The pace is good, players run right shots look on point just in general the demo is impressive and hopefully is indicative of the final product. right now I'm amped people i am happy...

Please tell me you can play non-user controlled teams in the regular season, just like in NBA 2K8. On top of that, I hope they have correct schedules.

They always have correct schedules. MM is the one that doesn't. Again...for impressions only

If this is just the impressions thread, where is the ***I HAVE THE GAME & WILL ANSWER HEADBAND COLOR QUESTIONS*** thread?

Here's my impressions


PROS
Not having the isomotion on the left stick and instead mapping it to the face buttons works a lot better...not only is it easier to pull off the moves, your player won't break off any unwanted crossovers when you're just trying to set up a play...

Like in NBA 2K8, the A.I. is very aggressive, but they mix it up more....they will still attack the basket, but they will pull midrange and 3s on you without hesistation....they will milk the clock down until they can get the best shot possible...

Larry Bird on 79 Indian State is Godly

I see less sliding in relation to foot planting

The teleporting dunks seen in 2K7 seem to have been toned down drastically....what I mean is when a guy was standing still with his back to the basket, and about 3 feet away from the it, when you pressed shoot he'd just turn around, take off and throw it down with one hand...in relation to where they were standing, that should've been impossible.....especially not facing the basket......didn't see that this year

The addition of the ABL adds another dimension to the legacy

Overall this game plays like a more polished version of NBA 2K8

CONS
I don't have many, and the ones I do have are probably nitpicking

I don't like how you can still pressure a guy into a backcourt violation or out of bounds with no foul being called

I liked the default camera angle better in 2K7 than this year....the action seems further away and the players look smaller

While the moves are easier to pull off, they also seem a bit too effective when driving to the basket....I would assume slider tweaks will take care of that though

Donte Green a 71??? c'mon 2K show ya boy some love when it comes to my Orange! Donte shoulda been at least a 75-77

Like I said, nitpicking, I haven't found any serious game killing flaws yet...

The game is fantastic
