You guys asked for less bumping, you got it!

I dont want to hear any whining about d'ing up

This includes me. Bron is killing me....dude just drove to the basket and did a wrap around pass to Bosh for a dunk.

CRAZY.

If I do have a concern it's that it seems LeBron could do it everytime if he chose to. For the most part if you play off he'll shoot the jumper but, sometimes even when playing off he'll decide to go and so far it seems really hard to do anything about it. With the devs stating that playing on ball D is more advantageous to playing off it's gonna be tough trying to stay in front of guys.

I'm sure I'll get it down but, it seems the defensive movements are more elongated than the offensive movements making it difficult to change direction quickly enough to keep up with the quicker offensive movements.

Looks like I'll be playing a lot of zone vs the Heat haha.

The game is beautiful by the way. Can't wait til Oct. 4th.

Did anyone see that they now tell you how many lead changes and each team largest lead and how many times the game has been tied

LeBron just missed a dunk, slammed it real hard into the front of the rim and it bounced about 3 feet up in the air. Pretty sweet, looked much more realistic than always seeing them throw it off the back iron.

Well...there's not a lot you can do to stop Lebron in real life either. If his jumper is on...man, with the way the CPU plays he could easily torch you for 30+.

u guys are overexxagerating the differences between 2k11 and 2k12 based on the demo..it is more similar than this thread will have you believe. There are some nice subtle changes tho that make a difference but if u were watching somebody play it would take awhile for you to notice that this was the newer game imo. Controls are not THAT much different as far as response..jumpers are slightly more responsive in general and getting into post position is quicker and alot easier using y. Hopsteps are all performed with the LT trigger and right analog. Still learning all the post controls. Dirk has nice step back and fadeaway jumpers..very authentic.

Its hard to get a feel on the quick isomotion moves being nobody on Dallas is a real good ballhandler. Man on man defense is still hard..hell in my experience so far..the "quick shuffle" makes it harder to stay with your man moreso than help because it seems like theres a delay after u press a direction...its weird.

Driving inside is harder.

Midrange game is better..which i love.

You feel more in control with jumpshots and it actually feels like you release at the top of your jump when you let go.

Still playing the demo..learning some things...overrall outside of how stripped down the demo is..game plays pretty well..id say its a decent upgrade from 2k11 but nothing HUGE.

ONE momentum jumper let me know this wasnt 2k11....

To each their own.

I am also amazed that 2k has almost completely eliminated sliding. The players actually feel like they are taking steps instead of sliding into position so much. This isn't my normal playing view, as I normally play on 2k Cam, so I can't wait for the game to be released. Online Association?


When's the insight!!!

It's huge because there's only so much of an improvement you can make,

and that "so much" has been made

The player models are great, the game play has been upgraded in almost every single aspect of the game


What else could you ask for?

I could careless what the video looks like, I don't play video games to watch videos.

Played one quarter before heading to work. Here are some quick thoughts.

Pros:

-Love the new intros.

-Player models are better.

-Jumpers look and 'feel' better.

-Player movement is silky. The transitions between animations are very smooth.

-Fast breaks are 1000x better. The players move with a purpose and get where they need to be.

-Ball physics are better. I had a nice block from behind from Nowitzki as LeBron went in for a flashy dunk. It played out really well and nothing looked wonky about it.

Cons:

-Short demo. The game is waaaaaayyy too deep for us to get just one quarter. Give us four quarters.

I'm loving the new intros I just hope they change in your association that would be cool like show things both teams did from previous games
