Just hit about a 35' buzzer beater with Kidd, didn't count, then it was reviewed and counted for the win.

How was it reviewed??? Did you see the refs put any hand gestures saying its good to go or anything??

-Presentation is sweet. Good to see there's variation on the intro videos despite it being the same teams/players.
-Can't play as Miami
-CPU does a good job of driving and dishing to the open man when the help defense rotates
-Nice control over the dribble moves, can finally chain them together as you please. It'll take some practice though.

What quarter and nobody had talked about the crowd. How is it and I dont mean just dont front row. The crowd as a whole. Do they cheer at the right times, get loud, etc?

wtff its not broadcast?? 2k camera view? your joking right....
are you talking about the screen where you look from behind the person & you see the whole court??

Huh? Read my post again

The view the demo has is the broadcast camera, from the side. I was saying how I hate this view and never play it so I can't judge how the game looks completely. 2K Camera view > all

Another bare bones demo. The presentation is nice, very nice movement on the players. The game has a real weight to it/ But for all of the reviews that say "it is impossible for me to go back to 2K11", I think that is a bit over the top. the game speed has increased a bit, and the movement has enhanced miles, but it certainly is not incredibly better than 2K11.

**Iballout** · 09-20-2011, 05:05 AM

Is there any type of audio? Not commentators but I mean crowd sounds, ball hitting the floor, squeaky shoes, music, rim sound, player sound, etc. Etc.

It was just a quick cut scene to a single ref showing the count it hand gesture.

Another thing i like is how Bron was patient with the ball and did dribble moves to get a clear space for a shot... did it real calmly too

and Dirk is butter... post game is waxy its so smooth

First game was a success. Won by one.

Did Dirk's one legged fadeaway.

Defense stepped up INCREDIBLY. I cut off LeBron several times with Caron Butler off that LT+RT+movement that they discussed in the earlier insight where you could cut him off if he's running directly to the post. Putting hands up anywhere you want to also works wonders.

Did a CLEAN alley oop from Fernandez to Butler.

CPU only dunked once, off a LeBron pumpfake to a clear open Haslem, who looks MUCH better this year...him AND Eddie House. Player models are GREAT.

Wet a 3 with Jason Kidd, shooting seemed simple enough. Also did the walk animation. Beautiful.

Had a 3-on-1 fastbreak with me, Fernandez and Tyson Chandler. I'm coming up bottom left, Fernandez upper right, Chandler coming straight down the court. Passed to Chandler right at the end of the cut. Chandler did a simple, sweet throw in right over Chalmers. Felt the bump on my controller from contact, but of course, size advantage. Very nice! No stupid animation!

Dirk was VERY hard to use the first game for me, probably because I was trying the new post system and just couldn't get it down the first try.

Very impressed the first game!

-Post game is jawdropping (so many combinations)
-At times i saw Chalmers pass out even when open for a 3
-I got more offensive rebounds in a 4 min game of 2k12 than i did with a 10 min quarter 2k11 game lol
-Gameplay is definitely smoother
-Driving to the rim isn't as easy as it was in 2k11

Well it's just the demo, meaning it's an old build from a fee months back. When the retail version is out you too will forget a out 2k11.

Played one game so far, seems positive so far

Only complaint is that I had LeBron morph through the back of Kidd (who was boxing him out) for a putback dunk.

The throw the ball ahead animation to push up the floor looks great. CPU pushes the fast break very often, mainly by throwing some good outlet passes.

Those wondering about the hands up animation on defense, if you're using hands up on a guy it's really easy to get beaten. You can move around with it but you're at a significant disadvantage if you try to move with it.

Wade seemed to take his FTs about a foot behind the FT line.

We aren't expecting it to be (in your words) INCREDIBLY better than 2K11...

...in the OS review they stated that it wasn't going to be ... it was to be more polished w/ the addition of the extra legends, teams, create-a-shot, Steve Kerr, and a lil' more.

I'm pumped ... 2K11 was GREAT and I wouldn't think it could get any better, but from what I'm hearing...I'm ready!
