If I'm not mistaken the crowd reacts appropriately throughout the video except for that moment. So you deem "it's the same static crowd/no improvements"? No need to overstate issues to try to make a point. I know it was an issue at times in 2K11 also, but the issue should be kept in perspective. I'd like for it to be perfect, but if the crowd's reacting correctly 90% of the time and misses on the other 10% that ratio should be kept in mind instead of making over the top statements there's been "no improvements in that area" when there obviously have been.

I do have an issue with the Griffin layup, it just looks awkward and you never see dudes lay the ball in like that..I also didn't like that Haywood one the other day from xplay.. they really need to work on some of these layup/shot animations for bigs..that Haywood shot is also impossible to contest quickly enough because all the players (even the ones who are supposed too) don't get off their quick feet enough to contest those types of shots..

However.. everything else looks pretty awesome.. I thought it was very cool what Griffin did in the post on his first post up possession with his back.. he always does that in real life so I'm glad they captured it when he's trying to get a feel for the players hand on his back.. I'm not sure if anyone caught this but in one instance, Ronnie was about to use a modifier move with Rondo and as soon as he started he got bumped by a player, Rondo broke out of the animation and threw up a two handed floater that rolled off the rim.. that was very nice to see...

I also like how E. Gordon ran to the corner for the end 3 pointer and got fed for a shot as the buzzer sounded, that was a great AI sequence.

The audio was absolutely incredible...it sounds exactly like real life. Kudos to the sound team, maybe Madden can abduct you in the middle of the night.

Sweet! This is what sports video gaming is supposed to look like. Can't wait.

Personally, I'm really disappointed. I guess I'm really expecting way too much with video games...*sigh*

While the game *looks* amazing, it still plays like 2K11 and any other NBA video game in history. There is zero or little interest placed on developing a solid to great pick & roll engine. I'm not talking about the basic call for screen and have the big roll, I'm talking about the a. lack of pro looking pick & rolls b. lack of ability to split a double team off a pick & roll (a la Wade) and c. lack of pick & pop option.

In basketball, you beat your defender and you keep him at the hip. That is why what you saw doesn't happen, faster or not.

To you and Musyck


I am not making that argument, I am merely stating that Ray changed course because of a couple of extra cross overs while Gordon ran straight forward

I dont happen to support miracle recovery defense. That bugged me x 10000 in NBA Live 10 to the point I edited every single players recovery defense because its just not possible nor is it realistic

Im just trying to clear that up, but again all I was doing was making a point about the extra's that Ray added to his drive and angle changes...

Right wrong or indifferent, I'd be upset if this stuff happened all the time because it hinders gameplay immensely, but I've yet to see one person who either previewed or reviewed the game mention this even one time.

That Griffin layup is in 2k11... real quick with hardly any elevation off the floor.. I dont think it should be there, especially for a big man

They aren't going to.

Like I said - it's a minor gripe. It happens in 2k11 quite often. Just not something that can be considered justifiable in the context of the discussion here. That's all.

And it wasn't a "couple of extra crossovers" - he hesitated, there was a break in animation b/c they lack a transitional animation.
