One thing to keep in mind especially on offense is that Dallas doesn't have any ultra quick ball handlers in their starting 5 so the isomotion is slower than if you were playing with lebron and wade or like Drose.

Conversely on defense if you have a bunch of slow defenders like Dallas does. You will have to give space and anticipate and move a little before the offense does to stay in front. If you had a bunch of quicker defenders it would feel different. At least it did to me in the final.

That is part of the depth of this game. There is almost no way to guard fast guys with slow guys one on one without giving them wide open jumpers. IT is also part of the difficulty.

Love the demo but already frustrated at the stupid 3 sec glitch. Hope that's not a sign for the retail game man. First possession was a 3 sec call and I had to restart smh. Everything is great so far lol

Czar is right. I've found myself having to back FAR away from Wade with Fernandez to get a good defensive possession. As soon as I suffocate him, Wade just crosses over and it's usually a wrap in the post unless I time myself PERFECTLY and block his shot, which actually has a MUCH higher probability in 2K12.

In 2K11, I could time it and not feel like it mattered since as long as an animation happens, you just gotta wait out. In 2K12, Mike Miller had a WIDE advantage running to the basket as Chalmers passed to him. I switched over to Fernandez, timed it and slapped it out his hands before he could even reach for a layup. Was a great transition!

These glitches should be noted and it'd be great to inform 2k about it.

Passing is my favorite part of 2k12 so far, just moving the ball around is amazing. I just can't for this game to come out, the game runs so smooth and Dirk, Wade and LeBron jump shots are perfect!

Yeah im noticing that now that you have to anticipate where the ball handler is going.

I just threw alley from the elbow, OFF the glass with Chandler coming in to slam it and it looked soooO fresh. My god, I now see what they were referring to when they said they find it hard to go back to 2k11.

It's crazy how much 2K improve every year. Just the little details like how the defenders on a fastbreak put their head down to run faster to get back is crazy.

DWade is ridiculous on this game, it's soooo hard to stay in front of him with all his pump-fakes and crossovers. Can't wait to see Kobe post game and everything else.
