Just shot a end to end full court shot with Tyson Chandler. It was well after the buzzer...

But it went in.

Most hilarious thing ever. If you do that in game, it'd be sweet if the commentators would say something like "Too bad that doesn't count."

I bet people don't know you can shoot from the floor.

I knew about this but its rare like a fumbled dunk attempt. Player mistiming his jump and it turns into a failed dunk. Its a nice animation.

PS3's loading time for a demo is kind of looong compared to the 360. As people mentioned the colors are more washed out and the audio to me just seems louder in the wrong areas, hence that annoying "wooooooooooo" guy. The "wooooo" gus is on the 360 but he's more tolerable.

Now I'm thinking of getting PS3 version to...Magic on PS3 and Bird for 360...

It's pretty awesome.

I love how when I drive into the paint, I'm not warping into other players, and those players aren't glide across the paint to prevent me from getting to the basket.

man the only thing i hate about this game is the moral issue that 2k has actually kidnapped dirk nowitzki and turned him into an animated object..lockout yeah right.. 2k is kidnapping all the players...kinda like a space jam part 2..

What In The Sam Hill!!!!! Third time playing and I switch off LBJ to play D Wade, he makes a quick fake to the right drives left down the lay and DUNKS over Chandler with two hands!!!!. What's so great about the animation is that the only thing Chandler could do was extend his hands as to keep from being dunked on. Haha , yes this is what I'm talkin about !!! I can't wait to play the retail version.

Wasn't blown away one the 1st play through, but on subsequent games I noticed more and more changes. Love the collision system and post game. I could definitely see people over faking just because they can. Is it just me or the the ball handling/movement feel more like nba lives outstanding system? Things I didn't like: too many blocks on defense. Felt like I broke up way more shots than I should have with players I had no business doing it with. Defense in general was good though. The shuffle steps will take my already nasty d to the next level.

Ok someone earlier posted about the little TNT ads in the corner...I just saw LBJ and Dirk in the corner for a promo for the game release . Presentation!!! You just got to love it

My impressions

This is the best representation of a sport I have ever seen. The AI use of moves fakes and ball movement is so sick. I have never said wow so many times after playing a demo before and this is not even the retail copy. Once you unlearn what you tried to master in 2k11 and learn some of the moves the game just opens up. What I like is the random play I experience nothing feels scripted ,a very dynamic gameplay. On the surface it looks like 2k11 but once you start playing, the game takes it to another level. I can't wait to see other teams in action

Man .... the demo looks great

Re: NBA 2K12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

maybe the best game I've ever played. not sports, any game.

the new animation system changes everything, total control at all times. no more getting sucked into weird two man animations when driving. now 2k shows you that you are forcing a bad shot by the defense making contact and altering your shot. blocks are better, boxing out is awesome and more realistc. love the use of hands while playing defense. this is hoops nirvana.

if only i could change difficulty, pro is just too easy. miami should be challenging to beat. although it is fun to beat up on a team i despise. cant wait for retail and the added commentary, etc.

if only 2k college hoops still existed...sigh...

The graphics have stepped up and stand out now on the PS3 version. The smooth game play is welcomed. I still have to practice some more with isomotion. I kept doing behind the back dribbles when i did not want to.

Im noticing more foul calls and blocked shots in the paint compared to 2k11. The perimeter defense im not sure on that yet untill i play a head to head match up with a human player.

One of things im very happy about and grateful for is there is no hop step button assigned directly to a button. I hope there is no alternate control configuration that will allow anyone to map it to a button. I like how it can be done within the flow of the game rather then intentionally anytime someone wanted to.

Chris bosh looking like plaxico burress or jamal mashburn lol For the most part the other players i have seen have recognizable character face models.

Ok I took off early just to download this thing! To my dismay, it was still unavailable on psn. Anyway, once I spotted the demo I immediaty dropped my p.b.& j I worked so hard to make.... and. Commenced the download.

It's rididulous to make a full on review of a demo but here was my impressions..

1. the pacing and players Felt very natural and lifelike. Everyone Moved as their real counterparts did.
I payed special attention to bron and wade. "both who".?

Bron would murder me with the slight hint of an open lane, and for the first time I Felt as if the a.I. had a mind of its own. Mavs are no match for the big 2 and the fastbreak....they made that quite clear my first couple of games.

2. Defensive improvements....although it will take getting use to. The hands up and help d is what I always wished for in a sim game and now its here.
I Havent been able to cut any one off yet...But i plan on mastering this before the game drops.

3. Animations. One word. Astoundding!!

4. Postgame. Im Loving it. The transition frm 2k11 was a breeze. Popping in and out of the post position looks and feels amazing.

Lastly! Only gripe was no option of switching difficulty levels and casual to sim. But hey, its a demo people. Stop complaining....ur still gonna buy it, n love it...
