NBA 2K12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[Mike Smoove]

The flick flick moves for the step through is great, cant wait to master it, dribbling is more responsive, loving how I can go in what ever direction I want instead of watching a animation play. Game feels ALOT more smoother. Crowd atmosphere was great, just a little too early to beef it up. Gonna test it on the surround sound later.

Quick impressions:

+ Love the new collision detection/physics/changes to the animation system
+ Variable intros are great; won't be getting old anytime soon
+ improved cpu play: uses special moves more, plays smart, more aggressive
+ Love the little TNT-like advertisement - brilliant
+ Y button for initiating post very intuitive

- Short demo, although can jump right straight into another game
- missing the replay button!

Plays like an infinitely more refined 2K11; having fun learning new controls

Again, to each their own. Just because you don't believe its a huge difference doesn't make it true for someone else.

Personally, it feels a lot lot different than 2k11. But then again, 2k has consistently stayed in my console for the entire year. To me, the player movement is better, the jumpers are smoother, there are consistent reach-in calls, the AI makes you pay with great offensive play and Dirk is a beast........wait that is the same as 2k11.

As someone that likes to call some sort of play everytime down the court this is the most frustrating experience you can imagine


One team to play with October cant get here fast enough

For those worrying...

In my time w/ the game (not the demo) I saw 3 second calls and the game didn't freeze.

Just FYI.

I'm liking how you can post someone up from the 3 point line. There isn't any force-fields anymore.

Wade is nasty, he's constantly keeping fernandez off balance. There was one play where he did a couple of isomotion moves that really sold to me that he was driving, so I backed off and he stepped back and hit an uncontested three. Don't like that the CPU is over-hesistant though. They should take their chances more instead of jumping to shoot and then passing off at the last minute.

It seems though that you can do layups as if you were in a layup line, when there is a lot of bodies in the paint.

Steals work much better. I saw that Joel Anthony was dribbling towards the paint, which he has no business of doing, so i yanked the ball from him with kidd.
