NBA 2K12 Demo Roundtable

[adwin7]

I don't know if too many people played 2k11 as much as I have this year, and I don't know if too many people played the demo as much as me. I have gotten it in on both. So that's why I can't understand Why this demo feels like 2k11 to people.

No need to point out differences but for those who played the later builds, I can't argue with you, but I strongly disagree with this round table as a whole.

A lot of people are complaining about the demo, but the demo is just merely there to demonstrate some of the improvements of the game. It's not intended to surrender everything that the product, in this case the game, has imporved on. It also is leaving the customer with a little bit of a eager factor. I was tweeting with this guy and he told me that he couldn't even play the demo after he downloaded it because the final build is so much better. If thats the case this game is going to be bananas because the demo is nice. Yo the game is going to be rediculous, bottom line!!

Jayson Young: "NBA 2K12 seems to focus too much on the flash and glamour of basketball and not enough on the sport's fundamentals."

wtf

i think there's no 1 other sport game that is more fundamentals-oriented than 2k12.. from the players side to the coaching side...

Except 2k's demos don't do that, 2k's demo don't do the full retail version justice, if I didn't check this site out or read any of the insights I would be disappointed in 2k based off the demo. Like I know someone who was complaining about it, like the demo brought in doubt i whether they should make the purpose.

Re: NBA 2K12 Demo Roundtable

didn't really care much about their opinions except Dustin's.....

since Dustin actually played a more updated version.....

sounds like the final version will be much much better than the demo.

Definitely not understanding the "NBA 2K12 seems to focus too much on the flash and glamour of basketball and not enough on the sport's fundamentals." statement. In my opinion that is far from the truth, especially when I look at the work 2K has put into improving the playcalling system on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.

He likes that arcade ball.

Yep, no accounting for taste. This is a demo that has it's own media thread

[rockchisler]

Sorry Jayson Young, Nobody not even Jason Kidd zips Justin Verlander passes in basketball, It may have some pep in it but a huge basketball will loft on you, Just try it when you go play pick up ball...

the demo did show improvements from how much more smooth the game looks, post moves, pull up jump shots. It's a lot of improvements

Re: NBA 2K12 Demo Roundtable

These roundtables are getting worse every time I read them, some of the negative comments were comical.

Ok this guy does not have a clue about basketball and has lost all credibility when it comes to this game. One of the most ridiculous statements I have read on here in a long time.

Re: NBA 2K12 Demo Roundtable

agree... comical. Didn't see any logic in them, especially compared to the other sports titles that we have out to date. That game stands on it's own... nothing else besides MLB The Show is even comparable.

I couldn't agree more.

Re: NBA 2K12 Demo Roundtable

It seems to me that only 2 guys out of 4 knew what they were talking about. That was weird.

[scottyp180]

completely disagree with Jayson's comments about player movement. Earlier today I played a couple quarters in 2k8,2k9, and 2k10 just to see how the game has progressed over the years and this game (2k12) is easily, hands down the best controlled 2k game I ever played. Going back to the other games I felt like I had limited to no control over my players. I don't even understand the gripe about the game being animation heavy when you can either control or dictate nearly everything your player does, plus you can get out of almost every and any animation you want. Maybe its me but when a game controls and looks this good in motion how can you complain about animations?(I'm actually looking for someone to explain this to me because I don't see this game being animation heavy in comparison to other 2k game).
