NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)

[Clarke_311]

I don't think I have ever looked more forward to a game than I am for NBA 2K12. We haven't even found out anything about Assosiation and My Player, and it's already a for sure first-day bye for me. October 4th can't come soon enough.

Although spectator mode is a GREAT idea (and a few games have it), 2k and their 3rd world servers aren't even close. Good luck completing a ranked game for the first 4-6 weeks. I will purchase 2k12... but only after the community has confirmed online play (all modes) works as advertised.

Speak with your wallet... it's the loudest voice you have. Instead of wishlists, consumers have the power to make DEMANDS. IF WE DEMAND SPECTATOR MODE (i.e. we will not pay for less), 2k would be FORCED to improve their online performance and give us spectator mode. Until the majority of us make it a "dealbreaker", don't expect change.

My money's on online play... when they provide it, I'll pay to play.

I want more insight about game play, create a player, and etc. I can careless about the greatest mode. I do these things last.

What they should do is the following: -left/right on shotstick + LT = hop step in that direction (like it already is) -a second flick is required in that direction equates to a finish at the rim. Will also allow you to control how you finish. -If you don't second flick, you hop step then remain stationary. This way 1) it's controllable 2) you introduce skill by the user; gone are the hold LT+flick layup shots that are automatic gimmes It's more complicated this way but it solves the problem you all are pointing out. You should probably wait and see until you play it before you decide if you like it or not.

awww dammm

They changed the controls and I'm sure most will get used to it.

As always, there will be people who prefer older controls.
