Re: NBA 2K12 Video - First Gameplay Video (Gamescom)

i like that the sidelines under the basket seem more crowded. it used to really annoy me that the fans and photographers were so far away from the action. especially to the point where u could see the concrete where the court stopped. having em close just makes the game feel more intense to me. maybe 2k finally got it right i hope it's not just a fluke on the mavs court

new video vs e3 video:

1. Walking the ball up court dribble is back 0:20

2. New passing animations (J-Kidd) 0:30

3. Jumper momentum looks much better (Caron Butler 1:45 & Chris Bosh 1:23)

4. Players are still falling for no fu*king reason 0:46 (Caron Butler on LBJ Drive)

5. Dirk's shot is fixed 0:33

6. Post Game looks more realistic (on both ends) 1:40

7. Less bumping on defense

8. Defense plays much smarter when player loses his dribble @ 1:09 (puts hand in face and plays tighter)


I wish they could have changed the small visual things like scoreboard and menus that would make it feel/look newer.
Also the contact in the paint isn't as good as I'd like it but it still looks good.

Those momentum shots and the post game are going to look good with Z-Bo and Rudy

Seems VERY familiar?

ummmmmm.. does anybody think it looks exactly like 2k11??????????

From that video, the graphical differences are subtle/ hard to notice. I'd wait to see more. The animations look smoother however. I especially like how fluid the off the dribble pull up jumper by Caron was... shows improvement.

What I like about 2K is that they don't reinvent the wheel every year; They improve upon a working formula. Inevitably, there will be similarities to 2K11 by that virtue.

3 word comments that are meant to be taken as sarcastic are even harder to detect, I can recall last year after the first videos people claiming 2k11 looked just like 2k10.

Looks great, as usual. Da_Czar broke it down nicely, and highlighted some things that I did not notice on first viewing. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Still no dance team on the ends of the court, but oh well.

Re: NBA 2K12 Video - First Gameplay Video (Gamescom)

Only things that were really noticeable, was that the walk up dribble is back. The off dribble jump shot by Butler was buttery, Dirk's jumpshot is FINALLY right and the player lineup screen looks way better. Wish they would of changed the menus up but oh well. Not a big deal.

Re: NBA 2K12 Video - First Gameplay Video (Gamescom)

I find it funny that after ONE video people are saying they won't but the game.

Either way I am ready for 2k12. Glad 2k is changing the lighting fixing jump shots, doing the small things that turn into big things.

I love Dirk's new sig jumper. Looks pretty much perfect. I really like it though. Can't wait... lol

lol, well thats your right bro, but IMO this is the only sport games i see worth buying, nothing else has grasped my attention, but to each its own, this is a early build and look better than 2k11 already

Re: NBA 2K12 Video - First Gameplay Video (Gamescom)

Are you guys not liking that LEbron I think runs into Caron I think full speed and knocks him over ? Is that the fall your talking about ?

At any rate on the defensive end there is plenty of goodness for Sim heads to see.

1. As has been mentioned look at the free range of offensive movement with the ball. Bumps in that video seem appropriate and in context while at the same time a guy was not able to run directly to the rim without body contact. Very tricky balance to maintain But that looked good.

2. Tempo and pace especially for guys who are playing a new game. Tempo looked really good and not like a track contest.

3. The on ball screen @ 1:36 actually worked. Those screens in what looked like a play in 2k11 never really worked the guy set the screen to low or too high so the defender would rarely get hit by them

4. On defense for guys complaining that every Pick and Roll was hard hedged last year notice how Bosh played the screen and then ran sprinted back as Chandler (i think lol) dived to the basket to set another screen to take away the passing lane... Good stuff.

4 The thing I loved the most was the defensive rotation @ 1:45 Dirk got deep and the double came. Then Lebron helped and someone HELPED THE HELPER for goodness sakes. LOL then the rotation back out once the pass was made was pure beauty IMO.

4.5 The cpu on the recovery I think it was lebron didn't fly out to cover the shooter he recovers and stays between his man and the basket basically saying go ahead and shoot it.


Last thing is Dirk's Iso was a thing of beauty spacing wise. He had half the floor to himself... LOL

Notice the bold right off the back. It was awesome.
