NBA 2K12 Hands-On Preview (CBS)

[jr2424]

Kinda unfortunate if they don't have the 'no zone' rules for those particular teams. Kinda takes a little away from the authenticity. Oh well, not a game stopper by any stretch of the imagination. This game will be a definite first day purchase. Maybe earlier if I'm able to get my hands on it.

Please don't take what I said as definitive. I didn't see it called but the situation didn't seem to come up. Rob played the one game without the three-point line and i didn't see it called. But it might be there.

Re: NBA 2K12 Hands-On Preview (CBS)

one more question from me JR,

I couldn't really tell in the gamescom videos but does the cpu still do that slide animation on defense when their guarding you ?

Slide animation? I probably have seen this but I don't know exactly what you're talking about so I don't want to see I did or didn't see it. I do know the perimeter play felt more physical. I know I mentioned this before but the AI would use its off arm to create space when I crowded the dribbler on the perimeter. I know I didn't answer your question, but I'd rather tell you I don't know for sure than give you misinformation.

to kinda play off this; How was good on ball defense portrayed? Would they ride you off of your path and cut off angles? you have been a great help to us thirsty 2k fans.

Thanks man. If I remember correctly I did see the AI body me up on the perimeter and I do remember doing it to them. You can ride them a little but if I'm remembering this correctly the animation isn't as overpowering. What I mean by that is you can break out of animations easier this year. And that goes for all aspects of the game. Like Rob said on gametrailers last night, you are not just watching it play out but you're creating it more this year. Hope I kinda answered the question.

Did you see any of the snapback perimeter defense we have in 2k11? Sometimes you could beat a guy off the dribble only to have his body defy gravity and place him right back in front of you.

I know they tweaked the free throw indicator. This year it's a success percentage number. I didn't play with the shot indicator on but I think you can see it in the gametrailers footage from last night. I'm watching it now and it shows shot quality and then gives you a grade.

I wish I could answer these questions better but I didn't play with the Warriors much lasr year so i can't really tell how different they would be from last year. But they did run the break well. They filled lanes and looked to dive toward the rim. I didn't see them flare out to the 3-point pine too much on the break though I did hit a corner 3 with Monta on the break. But I used the lead pass to lead him toward the perimeter. Monta did feel explosive.

Thanks, i can understand what you mean by not playing 2k11 with the Warriors as much. Just 1 last question, assuming you used the Warriors at home was their court golden?

I did not see that. The one thing I can say when I played is I never felt cheated by the AI in all areas. When I got beat I could see why I did. I remember playing as Oscar Robertson and the defender giving me space and shading me to my left. But I did get around the defender only to have his help on the baseline stop my path. But no I didn't encounter that problem. I hope that wasn't because I was playing on pro and that it might creep in at higher difficulties. I can't say that won't happen but I can tell you that I didn't run into it.

I did use them at home and the court looked right to me. But please remember that I'm most likely not as particular about the shading of their court as someone who plays on it 41 times a season. I can tell you are a big warriors fan and it wouldn't be fair of me to say one way or the other because I didn't play on that court much last year. But from what I saw, i thought it looked good.

Ok thanks for the answers. Looking at a screen shot of Monta Ellis in 2k12 here at OS it looks like they have the Warriors court right this year(gold instead of yellow) Thats was a biggie for me as a GSW fan. Thanks again!

Most def... final question, do post shots have release points?

You know the cut off move the cpu does on defense, like when you go one way they slide that way to cut you off

When I was playing I released the stick at the top of the shot like a normal shot. The one thing that really stuck out to me was the ease in which I could pull off up and unders. With the Y button controlling the backdown I didn't have to pull triggers to do an up and under. Just made things flow better in the post. I could imagine what some of you guys are gonna be able to do in the post this year.

But to answer your question, I would say yes. But like I said I was shooting in the post like I shoot on the perimeter, releasing at the top of the shot.
