Im sure they wont, but I'd like to know if its editable if it does happen often, because there are a whole lot of scenarios where this will be a problem

I doubt it will. Just like in 2k11 - it's an animation issue that can't be remedied by edits.

Recovery defense?

Maybe its a bit different on this side.. I've never looked into the ratings like that, but there has to be some kind of recovery rating somewhere... if not then ugh

[9:59]

While the footage did look nice and smooth (Pierce's step back jumpers are amazing), it's not as revolutionary as 2K has been making it sound.

The first troubling thing was the complete lack of crowd reaction when Allen hits the "And-1". I'd argue that the stadium atmosphere and home/away team crowd reactions are just as important as gameplay when it comes to total immersion.

At the 7:20 mark, Griffin sets a successful screen on Rondo and though Bledsoe has an open lane to the basket, the AI just stands there and waits for Rondo to recover. A few seconds later at 7:25, Griffin's animation layup is way too casual. He didn't really drive to the basket. Instead it looked as if he were practicing in pre-game warm-ups.

Hopefully this is footage from an older build.

This might just be me but i think the player skin tones are kinda off for some players like Rondo, Garnett, and Mo Williams. It just seems like they need a tad bit more color. Overall the gameplay looked awesome can't wait to actually get a feel of the game.

I must have missed that marketing piece that said this title was going to be "revolutionary". I think some of you expect FAR too much at a given time and read too much into things.

At this point? You must be joking. The game is less than 3 weeks away. If they are not in the process of pressing disks by now, you're not going to get a game Oct 4th. And even if it were an older build, I'd bet those sort of things would not be high on the bug fix list to ship the game. At the end of the day, you either accept the imperfections and enjoy the game for what it is, or you don't. Sure, call them out so that it gets attention. Beyond that, it is what it is.

Um....who ever said it was "revolutionary"?

Every one who has played the game has reported back how it is definitely an improvement over 2k11 and how much control you have and smoother it plays. They've mentioned imrpoved player and face models also along with smarter A.I. All these things can be seen to some degree in the video. But things such as control and smoother play will trul yhave to be experienced first hand to detect. So I see nothing about this video that is contrary to what has been reported on
