2k Sports finally released the 350+ mb demo of NBA 2k8 yesterday on Xbox Live which was quickly snapped up by yours truly. Here are my impressions: Lots of good animation, foot planting adds more realism to what moves you can do from a certain position, better pacing, faces look much better, post play much fluid although easy due to the locked pro setting, and a lot of offensive / defensive / miscellaneous (falling down, celebrations etc) animations.
more later.
