got my copy for 360 yesterday, incredible game, but i tried the online play for the first time today, and the lag was terrible! i have high speed (cable) and have never had issues with 2k8, so i don't know what was going on, but i couldn't even make a free throw, let alone a jumpshot. this sixers fan i was playing was being the magic, and TORCHED me from downtown...i don't even get it.
however, i finished the game, and made a couple good runs in the process haha.
association mode is much better than last yeah IMO, and the graphics are crazy good...and the crowd doesn't look like polygons lol. the control feels much improved from last year's, and i'm loving the way the timeouts are set up so you can take a full or a 20 second, and tweak a ton more than just your lineup.
anyways, good game, and i'm excited to dig in to the game a bit deeper.
