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

[NINJAK2]

aholbert32? has the defensive assist setting been completely gutted from 2k12. In 2k11 I know you could change the setting at which the cpu assisted you in staying in front of your man. This dynamic often gave the impression that you were fighting with your own man to maintain position.

That is awesome. Hopefully there's also "HE'S A FLAMETHROWER!!!" and "WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE"

I dont believe mine were, i asked right before you locked the thread because of the embargo.

did you notice if bench players put their warmups back on after being in the game?

can the ball still go into the crowd?

with the "live ball" collisions and the ball suddenly being out of the dribbler's control, did the AI players or yourself have any issues picking the ball up? Or did they get control quickly?

Are there still any 2 player canned animations with blocks/collisions/dunk ons/steals/double teams? I know you said you got sucked into a few in the post, I just didnt know if they were still around in the other aspects of the game.

Do you know if the right stick menu is like 2k11 or 2k10? Or are all the menus in that Windows 8 kinda style like the main menu (that shows play now, association, online and my player).

Any word on alternate control schemes?

and most importantly, did you see the mascot shoot the t-shirt canon? Cause that's totally a gamebreaker if that isnt done right.

Ball/Rim animations, the one thing that bothered me when I played was when balls (Pause) were on the rim it would roll around the backpart( Fatpart of the rim) and hang for a second then fall off to the left. In real life the ball just doesnt sit there and fall off the back part every 10th or so shot. Has the ball /rim physics been adjusted as far as you could tell?
