NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

Sim Citi checks in with this new NBA 2K12 article. Make sure you give it a read, as Da_Czar goes over the Celtics 13 entry play, a variation the C's run on a floppy play.

this is meaty stuff here

Best part of this article is while I'm reading it in my mind I'm hearing it in Czar-voice:y1:

lol...same here. Ever since I heard the "10 teams in 10 days videos".

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

I love the line with the only person who knows which screen the 2 is coming off of is the 2. lol Awesome!

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

Looks great, so much movement from one play. This is gonna be a big part of 2k12 for me, can't wait.

I'm sorry for using a Jersey Shore reference, but I thought this captured the way I feel about this pretty well...

Good looks on the insightful post Czar. 1 mark of a game's improvement over the previous year is if you're able to play it and still be satisfied with it. Every year after the demo comes out and I play it, from that point on I can never go back to the previous iteration of the game. Judging by just the playcalling dynamics alone, I can already tell I won't be going back to 2k11. This just adds a TON of replay value to the game.

This. Great Job Czar.

Good stuff, Czar.

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

Awesome and insightful read Da_Czar :)

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

Is it possible to learn all this information for the use of game play and not apply it to real life ball :y7:
Ultimately, knowing how 2k works, should make you a better basketball fan.

Great write up Czar.

Good looks the realism is getting better

Aww man this fo smart peoples, I just want to spin dunk fool.... :P

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

One play and all those all those options. You can do so much with this one play, bluff the 2 in different directions, use the 2 if you want to take the three, screen and rub with the point guard, isolate the 3, run a pick and fade with the 1 and 4. I know the players do a lot more off the ball movement this year but this makes me want to run even more plays. I don't know if the Czar can post this but is this a persistant offense play?

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

If I remember correctly, Rob Jones said the "persistent offense" plays where more focused on getting the stars involved if the D is overplaying. This play probably would fall under the new sets with "living branches."

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

Fantastic breakdown, Czar!

I hope the cpu is that deadly too

Haha nope. Actually this is Just a regular play. The persisten offense plays give you multiple options for the same player. So if it's a Persistent play for carmelo. The it gives you multiple options to get HIM the ball.

This was just a regular play for the Celtics with living branches.

Thanks Dre. The thing is sometimes the cpu flows so well between branches if you don't know the play you can't tell they have branched.

It was beyond awesome to me to deny the post and have the cpu use the persistent branch to still get that player the ball.

I wouldn't expect it to always work flawlessly but it's fun when it does.

Knowing 2k tho it's only going to get better with time as far as tge AI's ability to understand what your trying to do and counter.

For strategy heads this starts to even the playing field a little bit. So that the cpu doesn't have break it's attack and freelance at the first sign of trouble.

Awesome stuff! "The Inevitability of buying this game" :)

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

Can't wait to play and see this in action. I can't think of another sport where you would have this many options every play possession, maybe soccer, or hockey. To see this in a video game is crazy.

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

That's the thing ID did so well though...they had plays just like that and you could never tell where the hit was coming from

I can't believe we will ever reach that games level of relentless AI because it was almost too perfect lol, but you had to stay on your toes always

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

the offense has gotten a lot of attention this year it really makes me even more so intrigue to want to know depths of the balance that they defense is capable off

Re: NBA 2K12 - Inevitability (Sim Citi)
 

I sure hope there are defensive tools to counteract these seemingly unlimited branching options that plays will yield in 2K12. Couple these plays with a mix of free styling for variability and you could really frustrate a defense once you have mastered a teams playbook. In the voice of Bart Scott "CANT WAIT!"
