To me its like when I was a kid and my grandma used to cook in the kitchen for Thanksgiving and I'd beg her to give me some her homemade dressing. It was already done, on the stove, covered in foil, making the entire house smell AWESOME. When I asked her for some, she didn't give me a plate, she'd give me a spoon full and say:

"That's it. We are eating at 4 and not a moment sooner, Landy."

That spoonful is the 2k demo.

Don't worry kids, the entire Thanksgiving dinner will be ready on Oct. 4th. Have some patience, the anticipation always made Thanksgiving dinner that much better.

I'm a little surprised there's been no mention of the inclusion of "standing" alley-oops. Maybe it hasn't been tried yet since it never existed? Toss one to Chandler if he's wide open under or near the rim. Most times you'll get a nice standing dunk or layup.

lol at people thinking all the people who play the 2k12 demo played 2k11 and should know what to expect.

Ifyour on this website you most likely have tried out the demoes of previous games. I dont even watch soccer but Ive played fifa's in the past and the demoes. Same with nhl. I just dont see where the level of dissapiontment is coming from.

I look at the 1.1 gb from the download and think to myself "If the retail version is six times better than this then i am satisfied". Thats how I look at all demoes. I may have lower standards or expectations than others but in my eyes I wont get dissapointed about a demo "not being complete enough".

Just my opinion though.

Thats lame

A demo is a demo, nobody said give us the entire game.

Like I said, its the work of the devs and engineers that makes this experience great, not the fact that their work was cut into pieces

Whatever, you guys wouldn't be satisfied any other way. If it was 5 minutes, you'd ask for 10. If it was 4 teams you'd ask for 8. It won't ever be enough until the game is released.

Overall the demo is great the only thing i dont like is the rebounding. The rebounding still seems to be more about athletic abilities and not boxing out.

I also hope for gods sake that when you tip the ball up on a rebound they dont count as a rebound like they did in 2k11

Anyone managed to draw a charge? I was playing with Jason Kidd, pressed the B button had a good 1/2 of a second so no doubt Kidd was set, Wade drove on him and I get called for a blocking foul

You dont need to generalize anyone into some group called you guys because I have a problem with that, first off.

Secondly, stop making lame excuses then telling me what im satisfied with, especially after that wack analogy you just tried to present that doesnt fit what we're talking about.

I know what a demo is, and you cannot give me one good reason why i cant switch teams, call a play, or even hit restart... its just stripped and you are giving me some silly story about thanksgiving..


CH4L...The demo is alot of fun, and I think i'll be searching for that standing alley tonight

You are wrong, games like thiz have a long way to go before they peak the possibilities are endless. 2k13 wishlist would go platinum.

In terms of gameplay, with a controller no, the possibilities are not endlezz. Unlezz you want to count holding the controller upside down, sidewayz, making a control scheme that is terrible, etc.

Theze games will eventually peak - either way - keep looking towards the future and missing how great the present is.

That's because you can't call plays and get Chandler where you want him.

On the real tho I havnt seen any 2 player canimations, which is great cuz everything seems contexual.

I was sold when Lebron took it strong over Chandler only to get contact, contort his body to the side, then attempt to complete the dunk over Chandler.(missed the dunk but still got a foul)

2k is starting to bridge the gap between videogame bball and real bball. Czar warned us and I dont think we're ready yet.

OK ill post after one quarter

Its an old build keep in mind please

Feels like a polished 2k 11. controls a bit tighter

1 quarter only, You're Dallas... cant change anything, cant run plays.. when it ends you have to start all the way over

Game boots to an insanely nice intro.. Kidd walking in the tunnel to a grainy screen then a bunch of dynamic wipes from a game.. just as described in previews

Then the up next and lineups.. then into the arena

Some guys have on old generics so this is def an old build

Anyway i had on break with the Mavs kidd in the middle with Caron on the left and Rudy on the right...

Filled the lanes nicely, and I got Caron a two handed dunk hanging on the rim that Lebron tried to stop from behing unsuccessfully : )

Lebron returned the favor though dunking on Caron later on with 2 hands going in a wide open lane.. so if you leave the lane open the CPU will attack it

LeBrons jumper looked smooth too, and its great shooting with Dirk...feels great guys... shooting feels pretty good

I had once chance to do post moves with Dirk... gonna take time to get used to in the paint, but its nice and loose, and allows you to make moves, even get guys in the air if you do it right, which is did, and got a scoop back handed layup made with dirk ; )

Going to play one more but that was it though

Walk up the court animation is in, and its nice doing the push the ball up fastbreak when you need it... listen

They will transition up the court on you if you dont get back, so play defense

So true Wades killing me with that.

You both have a point.

People are going to gripe regardless of how deep the demo is - just look at the FIFA demo.

STILL... they can include more than the current bare bones offering now.

Either way, it's a demo. It's free... and the only people complaining would be the ones too impatient and want the game now.

I hardly ever see someone say "I can't really get a feel as to what this game will play look b/c of the demo... I wish I could know more."
