Re: OS NBA 2k12 Impressions and Q/A Thread

Did you notice any "floaty" dunks?

Re: OS NBA 2k12 Impressions and Q/A Thread

I know it's been asked in the past, but I don't remember seeing it answered (unless I missed it). Is the hop-step button in the game? If not how does it work?

Re: OS NBA 2k12 Impressions and Q/A Thread

To expand on the earlier question: Did it make sense when it happened? Did it feel random at all? Or could you tell that it was your own fault (IE running into the defenders chest with a smaller player)?

It was my fault not random. Trying to force a play.

It is in the game but its a two button press now. Cant remember the buttons though.

YES!

I just wanted you to clarify so some don't get the wrong idea and start bashing the game :/

Thanks for the reply... Two buttons? I assume modifier and another button? Anyway, thanks, I hope I will get used to it.

Were your myplayer teamates effective? Or do you still need to spoon feed them everything, and yet, they still hardly score.

No they definitely score. One of my teammates had 25 points and was a black hole. He was a gunner.

Did you see any flashy passes when the opportunity arose (such as fastbreaks and when players cut to the basket)?

Edit:

Nice. Did you see any of your teammates go one on one frequently? Were you able to tell thier playstyles after playing a couple of minutes (aside from the gunner. Was he a 3pt specialist or Scorer?)?

No flashy passes.

He was 3pt specialist.

Blek. Hopefully it was influenced by the tendency and it's not taking completely out of the game.

Nice. Did you manage to see how high your attributes were as a specialist (Such as athletic, 3pt, scoring, pass first)?

Re: OS NBA 2k12 Impressions and Q/A Thread

Did you notice some plays running smoother than others or did all of them look pretty smooth? Like for example some plays taking longer than others to develop?

I know in 2K11, there were a few plays you couldn't really run because they would take almost the entire possession to develop or have it ran properly.

Re: OS NBA 2k12 Impressions and Q/A Thread

did you block any shots with Ewing? I'm going to use NBA jam as an example....blocking shots in that game is fun...I'm not talking over the top blocks but I'm looking for that satisfactory block in 2k without it looking canned....

Re: OS NBA 2k12 Impressions and Q/A Thread

Could you please tell me if they re-added the HIGHLIGHTS category to custom music? It was in 2K10, but missing from 2K11. I would like to add broadcast music between quarters (NBA on NBC, or ESPN themes, etc).

Re: OS NBA 2k12 Impressions and Q/A Thread

Is the pre-game intros dynamic?
Meaning will it be the same 2 or 3 intros, or eventually will a new player be in a pre-game.
