Sorry man. I told Rob that this preview has spoiled the next month for me. It's tough going back to 2k11 now. I still love that game but you guys will notice a difference.

Jr does 2k11 seem unfun to you now ? It bores me to tears when I can even manage to put it in. I wonder if others who played 2k12 more than a qtr have similar feelings on 2k11. 2k12 was just so dam fun to play to me.

That's the one thing I really wanted to do - play with that Magic squad. But you have to unlock them so i had to play with the Knicks (no disrespect knick fans i just love Penny). That one dunk i described when he went baseline reminded me of how hard he would finish at the rim. That one-handed dunk that he would use and throw down with power. It looked like that though I know I'm not doing a good job describing it. I think he also had that hesitation dribble that he was known for. I'm pretty sure when I closed out on him he used that move to make me commit even more because I thought he was gonna shoot. But he blew by me old school Penny style. That's the team I want to run with. Hope that helped a little.

You are right. Like I said before and I know you know this Czar, all the little things that this community loves make this game a true leap from last year.

They did feel authentic. When I played against the Shaq and Penny Magic, they would force feed Shaq. One time Penny passed it to Shaq so i hedged down to help with Derek Harper. When I got too close to Shaq he passed it back to Penny, who I tried to get back to defend. Penny seemed like he waited for me to close out then drove right to the baseline for a onehanded dunk.

Another time they passed it to Shaq and i doubled off Nick Anderson. Shaq picked up the double and kicked it out to Anderson for the three. This was my first game on 2k12 and i was down 13-4. I asked what level this was in and they told me pro. I was so embarrassed.

When I played against Showtime they gave me a healthy dose of Magic and Kareem. Magic backed down some and had his patented floaters in the late.

The game knows where it wants to attack and will punish you for your choices. Like I said before, the Showtime perimeter players were backing down against Monta and Steph because they had the size mismatch.

D-Rose was aggressive in that fastbrakes i described before. Rob said last year the Ai would see if it had a numbers advantage on breaks and would attack only in those instances. This year, the Ai will attack if its player has the talent mismatch on the break. I saw that happen twice. It was awesome. Man I want to play some more. Sorry for that last line, but the game is really polished this year and will keep you guessing.

This is exactly what i want... the challenge, and not the predictability

Love the different scenarios that Shaq took in line with his teammates as well. Looks like Penny got you for panicking lol

Great writeup by the way, been meaning to tell you

I couldn't agree with you more. I would feel the same way. But think of it like this, I got to play it for like an hour then they took it from me. That's almost and i stress almost worse than not playing it at all. Now I'm stuck with just memories for another month.

WOW! 2K12 is like that? I still enjoy 2K11. I'm surprised my disk hasn't screamed at me for overworking it.

Couldn't agree more. Rob said they gave the mode a lot of attention because of how popular it has become. I asked him about the achievement list that leaked and all the my player info in there but he wouldn't answer those questions. He's a good guy but he wouldn't crack.

2k11 is in my opinion the best basketball game ever. They took that game and refined it even further. Like I said you guys will eat it up because you will notice all of those touches that make the 2k series something special.

I think you did a pretty good job, as well as answering all of these questions

Hope I can find an early copy this year because Id like to throw in some clips for the guys to see different players like Pared and WTF did that year
