Both Demos Released - Post Impressions Here!

by **TheGlove** on Fri Sep 19, 2008 5:27 am

some impressions:

a lot has been mentioned already, yes the graphics are great, the presentation also looks good, it is no doubt much better than live 08, but still after playing 5 short demo games, i got back to the demo of nba 2k8, the gameplay of nba live is just not that attractive and gameplay is the most important thing of every game not the looks. Even last year's 2k beats this year's live, all dnas and live365s have not much of a value

eastsidaz, consider this your warning, just calm down and wait alright? It will be on for you sometime tonight and if not it's because you touch yourself when you shower. So just hush for the time being.

Just set up an EU account (e.g., United Kingdom as country of residence), and you will be able to download it. Voila.

why in the hell are you playing the 2k8 demo? after a year you still dont have 2k8?

by **eastsidaz** on Fri Sep 19, 2008 11:20 am

wjoeyu, Thanks

by **ps3owner** on Fri Sep 19, 2008 11:43 am

that sux. i read on yahoo answers that it would come out sometime the middle of november because thats when the demo for the nba live 2008 came out. that's funny you have the actual gaming coming out on October 7 and the demo coming out on November. Isn't it the other way around the demo first before the actual product release. by the time the game is out who needs the demo. its bs if you ask me.

very funny

actually i bought ps3 only in june and decided not to buy 2k8 when there's not much time to wait to 2k9, espescially when games like GTA IV were just out

by **eastsidaz** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 1:09 am

how do you that can you be more specific? i've already tried doing it on the ps network and for some reason it only offers the usa and canada as your countries of selection.

by **eastsidaz** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 3:23 am

ps3owner, you just need to creat an new user profile then set up an eu account in the network just like the first time you did your first account

by **wjoeyu** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 4:20 am

They got rid of Gasol's signature shooting form, WTF... altho they did give new more realistic forms to Fish, Vlad, Sasha, and Odom.

by **wjoeyu** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 4:28 am

Overall tho, a huge improvement over last year in terms of gameplay and subtle ones in graphics. The animations are a lot smoother and plentiful, more realistic drives and finishes, and a lot better on the defensive side (lockdown ain't bad). Graphics-wise, the players have better looking body sizes, not as stickly-looking as last year. Also, appreciate the new player specific animations and forms for FTs. Nice. Haven't quite fully mastered quickstrike yet or maybe I have and it's just that defense is a lot better now. Pick and roll could be something that many will use frequently tho as it is sometimes difficult to intercept the pass if the defensive big man doesn't stick to the handler and has to rush back. Lastly, I love the shooting mechanics. Skill is once again involved, and pull-up jumpers going left and right look and feel a lot more natural.

P.S. Rondo does not make threes, even if he is the only one on the court. I hope they adjust his threes, otherwise I will have to...

BTW, how do you do alley-oops?

by **eastsidaz** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 4:30 am

wjoeyu, R1 + R3 up...if you use ps3

by **ps3owner** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 7:01 am

thanks. i got it already.

by **philipj1224** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 12:11 pm

how do u set up a brand new psn account? i couldnt find it??

by **Arcane** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 1:56 pm

on the ps3 control s what's the alley oop button

by **Patr1ck** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 7:17 pm

On the 360 it's the right bumper + right analog up, so try R1 and the right analog up.

by **Arcane** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 10:36 pm
