Man those 4 minutes fly by. I think something has been done to the pace of the game. I remember the 5 minutes on 2k11 could drag on forever.

Maybe your just enjoying the game so much that time seems to fly.

Where is the signature gather button? I know it has been replaced as the backdown button (Y) so where did they move it too now?

In case this hasn't been answered for you. THERE IS NO SIG GATHER Button. All hopsteps/stepbacks/etc. have been moved into the shot stick. Lessens the chance for cheese. Like the infamous drive the lane and if you get stopped hit the sig. gather for a quick stepback cheese. Its a poof. Get your stick skillz together homie, you gonna need it this year.

You WILL lose the ball if you try to drive into crowds recklessly now. I can make even LeBron lose the ball by drawing some contact. This was in 2K11, but it felt too canned and unnatural. It's a lot more fleshed out now.

Well, just downloaded it for PS3 and played two quarters so far. I've never liked the feel of player control in this game since 2K6, and I'm still not digging it to this day, but it seems to be getting better.

One thing for sure though, the difference in graphics between 360 and PS3 just got much, much smaller than it had in the past. The graphics are very cleaned up compared to how they used to be. Any PS3 gamer should be super impressed with the graphics this year! I hope they're doing the same for their MLB game.

One thing I have to say though, 2K has got to work on their demos. This is a game that thrives on absolutely **** commentary, and they can't showcase it in their demos at all. This also includes replays (automatic or manual), and any sort of advanced control screens, switching teams, or fine tuning sliders. These things would be great assets for a demo if you want to convert somebody (or attract them at all).

PS3 version has graphically sold me...360 a tad better, but i can deal. My selling point is was PS3 online above 30fps last yr?

Hop step layup- While dribbling towards the basket, move he RS to the left/right of the basket + LT

If you just want the hopstep by itself then you have to let go or tap that combo of buttons briefly. If you want to play out to a layup you have to hold all the way. Much harder than last year and thats a good thing.

It's incredible just how much the movement in this game reminds me of 2K8, and that's a good thing.

I can't put the demo down lol I tried playing Heat v Mavs on 2K11 and it didn't feel right. 2K did good! I just wish we were able to switch teams...oh well. Oct. 4 here I come.

ps3 version looks great...much better than last year.

I am drawing a bunch of fouls in my jump shot. I'll admit, I've never been a shot stick user, but I'm gonna get the hang of it this year. So there has been a learning curve, been forcing a lot of shots, but I've been bailed out with a bunch of jump shot fouls. I have not been getting any love in the paint so far. I've been missing layup after layup, but I'm fine playing on the perimeter for the most part.

I officially hate this camera view. 2K is the way to go.

Re: NBA 2K12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

Just FREAKED OUT over something I pulled off with Kidd. I sized up my defender, faked an escape shot, then exploded to the basket and blew past the defender. My layup attempt got blocked, but geez, that was unreal. What makes it even better is that I did all of it, I wasn't helped by ANY canned animations.
