someone stated that they noticed in one of the videos that over dribbling drains stamina, so maybe thats how they countered, guy will burn out more quickly!

Overdribbling in 2k12 drains stamina and i think stamina is a bigger factor this year so they'll probably lose all the juice

lose the ball and it was obvioius his fatigue meter depleted before that first rudy gay score. He should have lost the ability to do AND 1 moves at that point

I'm more concerned on how easy it is to spin dribble to the basket...hopefully in higher difficulties there would be more contact initiated.

I was just covering the bases of my last statement just in case. Read it again. All I'm saying is that these videos are put out to enjoy and to evaluate. This is obvious. But it gets to a point where "evaluate" to some becomes only "critiquing". And that's a buzz kill frankly. What you said about rebounding is important. We've seen a LOT of videos so far. Have we really seen the old vertical issue that often? I don't think so. Does that mean its gone for good. I doubt it. But the issue seems to have been addressed noticeably and that's a good thing, right? And I agree about the irrational hate of 2k12. That game was a victim of expectations.

I disagree with you on multiple points;
First of all, he can decide for himself if he can watch videos and doesn't need your advice. Second of all, he can critique the game all he want, if YOU get a buzzkill from that, then don't read it. Just because you don't like people not being positive about a game, doesn't mean everyone has to adjust so that you feel well. Third, yes we haven't seen this kind of rebounding a lot, but a lot of the videos we saw were distributed by 2K (not all, I know, Gamescom) so they will make sure (and I don't blame them) to make the game look as fine as they can in those videos. So when you see in a video like this, which is made to promote the game, and you notice an issue from last year that certainly means something. It's as if you watch a movie trailer and see a camera through a mirror, what must that mean for the real movie?

Finally, I myself am very psyched for this game, I like the gameplay and gamemode improvements so far, and overall I'm very positive and think this can be a better game than NBA 2K11 (to me, the best NBA 2K game so far). But that doesn't mean people can't critique certain issues that were there in previous installments of the game.

Yeah cause having someone just dribble like that from the 3pt line spin move there way in the paint for a layup or dunk will be total GARBAGE if their is no punishment...

Ewww!!! That would suck man. Or am I assuming too much when you say "lose the ability" to do moves?
