Beluba mentioned it another thread, signature gathers are gone. You can chain things together similar to them though.

This 4 minutes isn't enough for me, I'm trying to get the post moves down but I keep getting the stepback jumper.

I can't express how much better and realistic defense is. If you're in a bad spot or your guy is open you are going to get burned, there's no close outs or super magnetic jumps anymore. At best your guy will run out with his hand up and you'll still too far away to make a play.

The demo was fun, but way too short. If only a quarter, how about a 12-minute regulation quarter?

Also, not being able to run plays was a disappointment. I'm the type of player to run a play during every possession.

Will we have to wait until the next generation of consoles to get white people hair to not look like part of a plastic Halloween costume helmet?

Holy DIIIIRK. It feels so BOSS playing with him, actually feels like the Dirk I see on TV torching defenses.

Fourth game!

Immediately went to my star player. Moved around a little with Dirk to throw Bosh off, he quickly jumped back to guard me. Went into post moves. Shimmied to the left, shot right, Dirk caught the foul and FINISHED! Shot his free throw slightly early, I also like the percentage instead of just a regular feedback. It was 87%.

Finally tested eurosteps in this game. Alright, so Bosh sized me up AGAIN and instead of running in immediately, he did a little spin around over me and tried scooping it up well around close range (damn near midrange) and missed.

Tossed to Butler who DASHED down the court. One on two. Zipped past Chalmers, but LeBron was there standing with his hands up, looked like a charge attempt. But he was still peddling backwards. Held the stick up and Butler stepped directly into LeBron for the contact. Heard a "HEY!!!" and Butler swerved around and finished the layup.

Guarding this CPU is just as interesting as 2K11 was, but in 2K12, it just looks so much better. With the CPU in 2K11, he could just do a bunch of crap and get away with it and it goes in. 2K12 CPU's look more smarter to catch you. In the middle of me (Dirk) and Jason Kidd, Wade runs into the post, throws his head up to insinuate a pumpfake (which I jump for like a blithering idiot) and he tosses it in.

ALMOST lost to the CPU this time. Pissed me off right at the end cuz I actually had a postup with Dirk on Bosh (which Bosh was fighting me HEAVILY on) and Fernandez DIPPED to the hoop with nobody on him. Smashed my pass button millions of times, passed at the last second. What made me happy was Fernandez actually just threw it in quickly to avoid defenders. Almost like a tip-in. But he missed.

Chalmers PUSHED the ball down the court and threw in a 3.

I'm down 2.

Throw it to Kidd.

Timed my shot and it actually did another type of 3 where the shooter does a nice step-in before they toss the 3. Wet it with Kidd, but the crowd was kind of dead after. Ha!

So I ran into a glitch. Def 3secs was called on the Heat, Dirk went to the line to shoot the FT, but the game wouldn't let me shot the ball. So I was stuck there till I backed out and started up a new game.

Did anybody run into this?

JUST happened to me. There was 4 secs left and it was tied up lol

Another bare bones demo. The presentation is nice, very nice movement on the players. The game has a real weight to it/ But for all of the reviews that say "it is impossible for me to go back to 2K11", I think that is a bit over the top. the game speed has increased a bit, and the movement has enhanced miles, but it certainly is not incredibly better than 2K11.

Try the post game and get back to me.

Digital Dirk FTW! So fun playing w/ him. I mean WOW.

[Capitol P23]

I am back and my impression is:First day buy. I am sold because at the end of the quarter the score was 11-7 Mavs. Dwayne Wade hits a jumper but I felt the clock ran out. The demo at first seemed like it froze when in reality the refs reviewed the shot and waved it off as no good. Thank You 2K. Magic Cover Here I Come.

Yo, so I score a mid range jumper with Dirk with about 15 seconds on the clock. Now keep i've played about 15 or so games so far and in each one when Miami had the ball with 24 seconds or less on the clock they would work the clock all the way down to the last second for the last shot of the quarter.

Well this time after I hit the jumper with 15 seconds left, Lebron comes down and pulls up for a deep 3 with 6 seconds still left on the clock and hits it. Looked just like real life. I was done after that one.

First game and I get glitched at the free throw line lol.

The shot clock is frozen at 12 and Dirk won't move a muscle.

For me bigball I played the final and had plays and commentary and all that adds a lot plus my comments stemmed from gameplay. Gameplay alone this game makes 2k11 garbage to me. I understand you feel and other may feel differently.

Have you tried covering Lebron? I swear Butler has two lead feet as he has no lateral speed movement.

I swear, even when I hold both the back triggers they still get blown by. CPU does a decent job of staying with them though I just gotta get used to it.
