Did you use right stick defense? Still the same as last year? That jump charge with the right stick felt useless to me. I liked it as a steal option better.

How did the post up feel with the big man (Like Ewing)?

How did it feel with one of the guards/forwards (Like Durant)?

1) Did you get anymore info on the new "dynamic graphical" updates ? Where the 2k team can now update player hairstyles/accessories/shoes and even update courts/jerseys.

I remember reading about this on one of the OS previews I think ?



2) Did you also get any info on the PS3 version this season ?? Did they mention anything about it looking as good as the 360 version ?

From your experience do you feel Fatigue will play a factor in 2k12 this year? cause 2k11 was a non factor when it came down to fatigue.... Also how effective was the Zone D if any was played?

Fatigue seemed the same as last year. Keep in mind though, I was only playing 5 min quarters.

No Zone D.

Felt good. Its all matchup related. I was stonewalled when trying to post up Shaq with Ewing. I was forced to face him up and shoot jumpshots. Matched up against Tree Rollins or Jeff Turner, I was able to easily back them down and use post moves to score.

I basically shot turn arounds with Durant so I didnt do much with him in the post.

I did. 2k says everything can be updated now. The court, the crowd, the jerseys, tattoos, haircuts etc. An example I was given is if fans at MSG start regularly waiving towels or wearing blue shirts, 2k will go in and change the crowd at MSG. Same goes if Kobe decides to get a face tattoo.

What I didnt get an answer about is whether these changes work in active franchises. I start my franchise with the start of the NBA season and would hate to not be able to use a new teams court unless I start my franchise over. I have a feeling that these changes will be attached to roster updates and wont be transferable to active franchise.

No discussion about the PS3.

whoa....did you ask if this is done through roster update?

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

do the commentators announce it as soon as u change ur defense?
is the intentional foul still a suction animation?
does the pass fake animation seem more realistic n more effective?

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

Did they fix the clear path foul rule so that you shoot two free throws now instead of one?

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

Are there an indications about walk animations? I mean, did you noticed them?

I did. its nothing special. Just a regular walk animation.

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

Thanks. But at least players now aren't kineticaly connected to PG or whoever is running offense.

I didnt notice new FT mechanics. It worked as it did last year with the shot stick.

Well, according to this interview (around 1:40 mark) they talk about a new meter....
