re: NBA 2K12 Impressions, Q&A (From Hands-On Event in Washington, DC)

How would you say that good on-ball defense was represented? Would a player ride you off your angle to the rim or was it similar to 2k11 where a perimeter collision would stop progress?

What difficulty and setting did you play on?

Were shot percentages inflated?

Was lead passing changed much from last year in the version you played?

I played on Pro. I don't want to get into percentages too much because of the difficulty level and the fact that those can be adjusted by sliders. I will say that the game seemed balanced a pro shooting wise. The only thing I would change straight out of the box is the speed. Maybe slow it down a tad.

also was shaq emulated well?

Young Shaq on the Mgic and older Shaq on the Lakers look different. The Magic Shaq is skinnier and looks like he did back then.

DO contested shots still go in at a high percentage????

No but I didn't feel that was a problem last year with slider adjustments.

U played with the lakers or against them right???

1. Is shannon brown still on the lakers n if so that means he will be on the team until the roster update when lockout ends..

2.. Is Kobe jumpshots feel smoother.. in 2k11 i didnt really like his pull up shot cuz it was alil weird.

3. For defenses.. do they still have the 1-31 defense zone n r there any toher new defense zones this year like the box n 1?

4. I the spin dunk, hop step crazy to the paint still there or the powerdunk??

Shannon is still on the Lakers.

Just for the record, the Magic would occasionally run post ups for Dennis Scott. Sometimes a few times a game. About the only starter they didn't run post ups for was Horace Grant.

Thanks. Well I take that back then.

How is the halftime show presentation in NBA2K12. Is it the same as last year or is it even more in depth. Also maybe a question that you maynot know about but, did you find out if the custom music feature of the PS3 has been fixed? In NBA 2K11 the music shuffle play list didn't work sometimes or the arena music you would assign wouldn't work at all.

How was doubling CPU in the post? Did the cpu pass out of the double team or just shoot over it?

Passed out of them but I rarely doubled the post. I played Shaq straight up.

When you drove to the basket did you see a different layup animation each time?

Any Derrick Rose-esque layups where he tucks the ball like a runningback?

Did any of your or the computer players change up their layups to avoid getting blocked?

Do big men change shots (not necessarily block) at the rim better?

Thanks for letting us overwhelm you with questions!

* Are the Legends games using 8 minute quarters?

* Did you notice frequent spin dunks?

* Did you catch any player ratings for Russell, Hardaway, or Shaq?

Thanks! =D

No.

No.

re: NBA 2K12 Impressions, Q&A (From Hands-On Event in Washington, DC)

When you make a pass on a fast break does the players momentum slow down and stop on the catch in which the CPU can catch up like it does in 2k11 or has this been improved?

Improved. No slowdown on breaks at all.
