    I ordered it for PS3 but played the 360 demo. Liked the demo so far (played it 3x so far)....didn't think I would have liked the Right Stick ball movement but like it so far and it's easy to turn it back to shot stick (use LT with it). Wish they made the demo 4/3min quarters.

        not liking the dribble stick or whatever they are calling it

        kind of weird to do the move then have to hold L to go for the layup (already a couple times I didn't squeeze lt and ended up messing up my open layup)

        the defense is kind of fun to play around with. I'm still learning the intricacies of playing screen ball with the cpu

              I'll be playing this on PS3, and would also like to challenge anyone to a game.

              I'll beat any team with the pacers

                  Although it's only two teams, I'm really impressed with all the little stuff. They have alot of the players likeness down. They've done a good job with this in the past, but for these two teams at least, its really really good. Harden was doing his three pt celebration on a few threes running down court. He did some of his crazy look away passes, even threw one away.

                  The CPu really seemed to really attack on offense and whip the ball around, which is also a really good sign. It's a really impressive demo.

                  Bounce pass is a very welcomed addition.

                    The defensive A.I. has what I've been most intrigued with so far. The difficulty is way too low but it looks like they kind of sort of made improvements so the A.I. has at least some idea how to cover a pick and roll.

                    I've messed up a ton by forgetting to hold down LT as well, but that is just because of what's branded in my brain. Shooting and pump fake animations are a lot more fluid but I'm kind of worried that they'll be too effective since they're so easy to pull off. All of the crazy up and under stuff was annoying enough last year and it is way easier and quicker to do it this year.

                      So I just played my first game on the demo.. turns out I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Coming from 2k11 to 2k13 is going to be a bit challenging. I'm not used to these control schemes, just gotta put in work and I'll be schoolin in no time.

                          2K cam all the way. They need to start making their demos with that cam since Id say 90% of 2k players use it.

                          I've been downloading the demo for a couple hours now, shits taking forever!

                            new stick control gonna take getting used to but it works.
                            i paid in full for reserve on 360. another added to the barrage of games i/we (me and youngest son) are getting over the next few weeks.

                            3rd & 14, inside your own 15, up 6, 3:20min left to go = call a PA Pass and Cancel. *its Legit, so no needless complaining

                              You have no fucking idea how many people actually play with this stupid camera angle.

                              Someone will invite me over to their place to play and the second I see this angle I want to vomit. You know what would be awesome, losing all depth of the court so you have no idea if your pass will be intercepted or make it to a guy cutting to the basket. WOO-HOO. I always hear "I like it because it's like you're watching it on TV" Bleh.

                              Anyway, I love the demo. No regression whatsoever. The dribble stick is nice but I'd like to see if people get punished for overusing it (loose balls, traveling, etc.) I fear guys are just going to come down court and start spinning and crossing away with no way to stop it. Switching to the Shot Stick is going to take some time to get use to but I'm not complaining, that will come with time.
