Very nice.

The first thing that stood out was the Kerr commentary. I can already tell that Kerr has the ability to make the video game sound like a real game's commentary. Its also great because I was under the impression that Kerr was replacing Kellogg, who I actually liked. Fortunately, they are keeping all three guys.

Edit: Now that I think about it, the first thing that stood out was the introduction of the players. That was very slick and I think they've found a way to keep it fresh. The menus looked so clean and I'm loving the playcalling screen. Looks like I will be in the lab learning everything possible to torch you guys with D. Rose and Co.

Another thing that stood out were the toned down screens. Last year, it seemed like every time an offensive player set a screen, the defender has to always go through a long 1.5-2.0 second animation to get through the screen. This year, it seems like that animation doesn't always engage AND the 2nd defender makes better decisions on who to defend.

I LOVED the blocks. Looks like the computer will be more aggressive helping in the paint, instead of just watching someone get done up down low. It also looks like they lowered the success rate of the up-and-under down low, which was one of my few problems with 2k11. In 2k11, pretty much anyone could get in the post, pull of the up and under and it was easy points. It was good to see Rondo miss the up and under with a defender that didn't go for the fake.

I'm interested to see what else you guys noticed as the video gets dissected today.
