Re: NBA 2K12 Hands-On Preview (CBS)

You know the cut off move the cpu does on defense, like when you go one way they slide that way to cut you off

I think I remember what you're talking about. I didn't notice that. The only time I would see that might have been on pick and rolls where the guy who's hedging out bumps the guard to impede his progress.

Going to go work. Probably won't be able to answer anymore questions until tomorrow though I think I've given you all the info I have. I will check back and do my best to answer more but I bet the Czar's preview will shed even more light and answer the questions I can't. Later guys.

Thanks Jr for all the information you provided thus far. I'm not sure if you would know this or if you could even say the answer to my first question but

1. are there going to be other teams from the 2000s other than the 02 Kings? I read in an article that you can have the 2008 Celtics vs the 65 Celtics. Also, the 02 Kings just seem out of place since most of the other teams are from the 60s-90s and their rivals were the 3peat Lakers, just sayin.

2. Will we now just have to use the stick to shoot or can we still press a button.

3. How was the 95 Magic? Which historic team that you played with impressed you the most? Which legend has been the most fun to play with?

4. Can we choose which historic teams we want to unlock first?

thanks

1. From what I saw that would be the only team from the 2000. But I wouldn't be surprised if they release dlc this year. I wasn't told that, it's just a guess.

2. You can still press the button to shoot. I like to shoot my jumpers with the button and drive with the stick. I was able to do that when I played. But pulling off stepbacks and learners are with the stick. So I might try to use the stick more with shooting this year.

3. I wanted to play with the 95 Magic but it wasn't unlocked so i played against them. They really gave me fits in the one quarter i played against them. I'm not a rockets fan but that squad with Hakeem and all of their shooters was fun to play with. I was doing work with Moses Malone in the post. The post controls are so much better this year.

4. Yep. You just have to win the matchup and both teams are unlocked. So if you beat the 95 Magic with the Ewing-led Knicks you can then play with both teams. I want to also try out the old-school Knicks squad with Earl the Pearl, Clyde Frazier and Willis Reed. That will be another tough squad.

JR, i forgot to ask if the flick flick shots are the same this year (LT+RS) like will the hakeem dream shake be done using LT and the right analog stick or did they change the way you do up and unders and those other flick flick moves ?

Rob wanted me to do the Dream Shake when I was playing with Hakeem but my post skills are mediocre at best. He did say flicking the stick was part of it but I forget what else needed to be done to pull off the move. But I was able to pump fake then step through, which I couldn't do last year because of my post game deficiencies. With the Y button controlling the backdowns it allows for more post moves to be pulled off without using the triggers. But the triggers will be needed for advanced moves (Dream Shake)
