For me they just need to add custom sounds/music for the PC version and it will be game of the forever (well until 2K13 dethrones it lol).

Also I don't know if it's just me but I looked at some of the 360 videos of the demo and I saw mini Dirk and LBJ in the advertising banner but I haven't seen it once on the PS3 version.

Xbox 360 LT button is what I'm talking bout!
Signature gathers and shots wow !!! I can't stop.
This is just with Dirk who is blowing my mind .. Magic Johnson, M.J., Derrick Rose, Wade, Lebron, T.Evans Etc ...can't wait to play with these players.

Tell me I'm not the only one still playing the demo 2 days in a row !

I put in my 2k11 and i can't play it ... argh !

OCT 4th will be a day of bliss.

-Love posting on perimeter with pg's (a la Kidd, Payton, etc.) and disengaging post into a drive! Creates some NICE opportunities for finishes or dimes!

-Also seeing reach fouls on cpu. More than last year. Good stuff!

-Got called for off-ball foul trying to run through Haslem screen with Butler.

-Seems like Dallas defenders dont get back on defense fast in transition. Have to switch to player and manually turbo to keep up.

-AI logic on switching men on defense, much better than last year.

-Players argue fouls more, show disgust with calls. Like that!

Not liking the delay in passing at times. By the time a pass actually happens, you intended receiver already moved to a different spot causing turnovers. Sometimes it's just so slow that gives your opponent plenty of time to read your passing directions and intercept your pass.

This demo is hard to put down. Every game has a different feel to it. Some defensive battles, high scoring games, and blowouts. Chalmers just did a sig gather from the free throw line and sinked the pull up. When Bosh is 1 on 1 with Dirk, he doesnt waste time and makes efficient post moves . Bron is launching threes one game and attacking the paint the next. The pass out animations are much more fluid than 2k11. Wade takes way less three point attempts. He even dribbled inside the three point line to take a mid range shot. I might be playing the cpu more this year than I ever have.

After many games of holding Miami to 2 points, I finally kept them scoreless. It was a 14-0 game with Dirk dropping shots from everywhere. It was capped off with Chandler throwing down my first standing ally oop off a Kidd pass. Beautiful. Can't wait for Oct. 7.

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

I was up 'til 4 am playing the demo last night.

As many people have stated the game is very smooth. The jumpshots are much smoother than 2K11 imo and the post game is much improved. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that the PS3 version looks very nice this year, I didn't notice any jaggies. My only complaints are that Bosh's face looks weird this year and that constant PA noise which sounds like high pitched laughter? is annoying. For some reason the ad in the bottom corner that's in the 360 version of the demo isn't showing up on the PS3 version. Hopefully it will be included in the retail version.

Honestly I wasn't expecting that much of a difference from the stellar 2K11 but I have to say that 2K12 is a definite improvement over its predecessor. I can't wait 'til October 4!

Okay, even though I've never really played a basketball video game before (well, I played a little of college hoops 2k8 but not much), I'm genuinely surprised how easy these controls are to grasp. After playing this demo several times, I immediately went out and preordered the game.

Believe it or not, it will be the first 2k Sports pro game that I will have ever owned! So excited about October 4th. That day can't come soon enough.

I honestly don't know how anyone can keep Miami scoreless in this demo. Guarding LeBron and Wade is soooo hard and Bosh is a beast in the post.

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

question: still easy to block shots with turbo?
(pc user so I don't have the demo)

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

Us PS3 guys haven't seen any. The promo pops up but Lebron and Dirk are nowhere to be found. I hope they fixed that for the retail version.

I'm on PS3 and I've seen it, but it's broken.

Before a game I see the clips/stills or whatever of lebron, a cheerleader, dirk and a mascot all doin thier thing as stats flash across the screen. BUT...

another time before the game it's just the stats flashing on the screen with one side of the court in the background. Then the digital version of dirk appears on the floor for 2 seconds then the digital version of terry appears on the court for 2 seconds and he is doing his "jet" run.

Really wierd...a total glitch.

I've also noticed the pre-game bug so I know exactly what you're talking about but I was talking about the little Pop-up that occurs during the first whistle of the game(foul, out of bounds, etc.). On the 360 Lebron and Dirk walk out and interact but on the PS3 Lebron and Dirk are missing.
