NBA 2K12 Impressions, Q&A (From Hands-On Event in Washington, DC)

Wow MyPlayer sounds amazing. So excuse me if I'm ignorant, but do you use your money to buy attributes now instead? Are skill points completely remove or are they there as well. Were there actual plays ran for you based on your strengths?

Sorry no MSG logo. Still just NY arena. Ewing's drop step is in the game.

The fast breaks were realistic (plenty of 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 breaks) and were a result of turnovers or a team failing to get back

On the break did slashers attack the rim from the wing at proper angles?

In that same vein, were passes thrown correct angles to allow for easy, fluid, finishes at the rim?

Concerning defensive transition, did players make sound threat assessments, i.e. stopping the ball, protecting the paint first, cheating toward the most dangerous finishers?

Skill points are still in the game. Money can be used also. I only played the college all star game so there were no plays called.

Did you get a chance to see any walk up animations

First of all, thank you for your preview/review. You didn't have to do so, but you did anyway. You get OVER 9000! respect points

Is the Combine and such still there? Or did the College Game replace it?

Secondly, how did the pull up J's feel? Did it feel sluggish/clunky?

Excited to hear of improved fastbreak logic...I assume you are implying that now lanes will be filled correctly? No more running to corner by CPU to spot up for 3, rather than continuing to bucket?

Nice write-up...thx!

haha oh man 2k out did themselves! Did you like how smooth the shooting is now? From reading the previews it sounds like its going to be fun shooting with the new momentum.
