NBA 2K12 Hands-On Preview (CBS)

[jr2424]

Great write up man and from the vids shown so far i think shooting will be the best part about the game. Thank You Beluba! I remember him saying that he loves the mid range game...

oh btw...get ready to get bombarded with questions

Thanks. I will. I'm on the West Coast now so I'm going to bed but I will do my best to answer questions.

@jr2424

Regarding the "Y"/post-up button. Can it initiate a post-up animation anywhere in the court and with or without a defender near the ball handler?

Really great article. Thanks!

WOW, JR this article is an insight itself ... I think we got our selves spoiled of tomorrows insight and the further one about gameplay ... anyways, an outstanding hands on article !

Now a few q´s:

- Did you tried to contest shots ? ... if so, how was it ? ... how did it felt to put your hands up while walking ? ... any unintentional jumping by the player while in this mode ?

- How does vertical seems to be ? ... is it like 2k11 pre or post patch ?

- Does the plays that have multiple choices highlight them all or just one ?

- Did you get to do or see any fastbrakes ? ... if so, how were they executed ? ... does the opponent AI catches you with super speed ?

- Can you assign that type of fake double teams defense tactic to your AI partners (or to any team) or is it hardcoded to all ?

- Did you saw any of the latest roster movements (pre lockout) or any rookies ? ... someone mentioned on the momentous trailer that Rubio was seen in the background, so, did you spolied someone else ?


Again, marvellous detailed depict of your experience !

Great article!
It really shows you know your 2K baketball.

And now, a question : tell me, does the AI utilise the "walk up court" animation properly to reflect different team styles or dictate the pace?

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

he's fast asleep by now lol and i finally have a question...

How do you like the new controls? Tighter like what the other reviewers say?

[1WEiRDguy]

can you bounce pass a la CH2k8? I dont know if it was just me, but i couldnt control if i made a bounce pass or not...it just seemed to happen at the strangest times.

That's what I put about playcalling on the wishlist! Not strictly offensive plays that result in the same passes, cuts, and shooter every time but a real OFFENSE that has many options! God, I'm pumped!

I've been waiting to see that for years as well. Last year was a huge improvement in playcalling no doubt but from what we're hearing this year could be an even bigger jump.

Those developers are the real deal

Yes that is true. There were times I would want to do a stepback jumper and forget that it's now only done with the right stick. So is the hopstep and spin move

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

I don't know if this has been answered by anyone else yet, but if the Y button is post up now, how do you do the signature gathers?

So if I'm hearing that correctly, you can't hop step or spin now without shooting then?
