With the new Post Play Imagine tryna contain D. Howard Now that's scary

I just remembered something crazy happened yesterday while I was playing. I went up for a dunk with Dirk and got fouled so the dunk bricked off the rim and flew like 20 ft in the air, came down, bounced off the rim one more time and swished for an And 1.

Lies, you've never seen it happen either. I don't mind players losing the ball, it's the falling down that I don't appreciate. They run in the paint and fall down as if someone hit the in the back of the neck with a bat. Why are you bringing up live ball physics anyway? What did that have to do with what I said?

He's never seen it happen because NBA players don't usually drive straight into crowds, they find gaps. I do agree it was a little excessive in 2K11, but it seems fair in 2K12, in that the player I'm controlling only falls when he gets bumped by a big and loses his balance.

Nice Game

Thats bull. The PS3 demo version does not have the refs reviewing if its a close shot how come the 360 demo gets to have shot reviews..

Seriously, the ability to drive from the post and do running hooks and stuff is right up Dwight's alley.

not able to get much of a feel other than controls because of how low the difficulty is... but VERY nice to see that the Heat's jersey's & all the black shoes are now actually BLACK instead of gray... that used to seriously tick me off.

It IS on the PS3. My little brother was playing last night and shot a three at the buzzer that was too close to call. The refs went to the scorers table to review it and while they were reviewing a replay came on the screen so that we could see what the ref was seeing. The replay pauses itself when the red light comes on. The shot didn't count but I was shocked that 2K went to such lengths to make this so realistic. My jaw was on the ground in awe.

Ha, I just made LeBron look stupid with Rudy. Made him go one way with the size up moves, went the same way, then quickly spun and blew past him for an easy layup. I don't know if this could happen in real life, but with there being no plays, it's all fair game in the demo.

My only issues with the demo are:

1. The passing and lead passing is still there. You cant magically make a player move in a unreal speed burst to an area.
2. Rebounding still seems to be more about vertical than actually boxing out. (im scared for players like david lee)
3. the double trigger defense is a little too fast. I can sidepedal faster than the ballhandler with jason kidd.
4. Off ball contact should be upped to stop lead passing

The demo is bannanas lol! I just realized after going through all these 4 min. quarters but did anyone notice how in 2K11 the jump shot release would sometimes change depending on the animation type but you never new which one your man would do. Basically most players probably had two different releases you had to master. In this demo you can "feel" the timing of the jump shots for all situations fadeways, pullups, running, set shots gathers whatever. Even Marion who had a rediculously quick shot release last year has a more realistic one this year slightly longer

The other thing I picked up on the same thing can be said for free throws. 2K11 had some players who had releases you had to hold longer than what the animation looked like on the screen. Every player's animation with the mav's in 2K12 seems to be tied to the release that you see IMO. To follow up on the FT shooting I noticed that D Wade doesn't shoot his FT's at the same distance each time. Some are closer to the line than others. Did 2K put this in as a realistic variation lol? I have never paid attention to something like that before because I have never purposely tried to send someone to the line to get a bench player in. I am on the 360.

For your 4. I think there is always going to be some lead passing but I don't think you will be able to exploit repeatedly like in 2K11. The CPU is stealing attempts when I try it. Also what I noticed between the demo and what I saw in that Celtics vs. Clippers video, the CPU was more physical with cutters in that video, in the demo they are not doing that as much from what I can see. I wouldn't be suprised if the setting we are playing on takes some of it out or it could just mean that they didn't fine tune it for the demo.
