NBA 2K12 Brings The Finals To Life (IGN)


IGN has released a write-up giving some early insight into some visual changes in NBA 2K12.

Quote:
"In the NBA 2K12 demo, the NBA Finals logo is plastered over everything, and there's an added level of pomp and circumstance to the opening cinematic. The character rosters are moving full 3D models of the players. During the game little ads pop up on the bottom showing the rivalries of the teams, and making the game look like a TNT broadcast. The fans in the stage are wearing game shirts, showing their support with a sea of team colors. It's all a lot of fluff but it's the sort of fluff you would expect when watching the Finals on TV. "
Platform: Xbox 360 / PS3 / PC

That's really sick sounding

Re: IGN - NBA 2K12 Brings The Finals To Life

I'm so excited for that. I hope clutch moments are really exaggerated.. Imagine it's 98-97, game 7, your team is down and on the road, your at the line with two shots to win the game. In that situation, I want my controller to be shaking violently and the noise to be deafening (okay, maybe not that loud.) Nothing would get me more excited about nailing two virtual free throws.. I can only imagine it now.

Re: IGN - NBA 2K12 Brings The Finals To Life

I'm really hoping they upgrade a lot of the graphics during the game. I understand it's a struggle to keep them from getting in the way, but there's a lot of dead time during free throws that's managed horribly in my opinion. Real games don't have the announcers pausing, waiting for them to shoot and then announcing whether they made or missed the shot. They take that opportunity to basically ignore the current action on the floor and discuss stats and trends of the game/week/season. They shouldn't have to do all those gratuitous scans of the court with Top Five stats, they should just integrate that into the free throw period. There should also be a lot more stats and comparisons getting thrown up during the game.

Isn't this info old? Every new article on this just seems to be reiterating what was said before, except with fancier writing.
