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

[Al_Boogie3]

i'm also really not liking the delay to the block animations.

when i press the block button, it often takes forever for my player to start the block animation. it's really delayed. for some reason they were able to make the pull up jumpers super quick and responsive, but they couldn't do the same for the block animations. this gives the offensive player an unfair advantage...because shooters can rise up and shoot at lightning speed, yet defenders can't rise up as quickly to defend those shots...the game isn't giving you the proper tools to counter the speed of the offensive player.

I felt the same thing when I was playing with the block animation, but I was told that it's almost like real life. If a defender is back peddling on is moving side to side, when the offensive player rises for a shot on the drop of a dime, it may take a split second for the defender to contest the shot. I also heard that if it's a better defender, his response time will be better. No one on Dallas is a good defender, so i understand where they are coming from!

so people are continuing playing the demo because they are hyped about features that are not in the demo.....cool.

please stop this "people are blind" crusade....its insulting the intelligent posters around here...

so you agree with me.

why do you always sum up peoples intent and put words in peoples mouth just cuz they dont agree with you. are you in my head? no! if you are intelligent you know the difference between being hype and hypebeast. do you?

no one needs you to defend them. i responded to anothers persons post. other than that my convo has been about the gameplay. idk if you feel the game is perfect. but some do, yet you dont attack them amd their opinion. but you label anyone whos opinion may not be to your liking as commplainers, negative or they have an agenda.

I see some people here mentioning about the delay that occurs when passing.

I notice it too but I think it's a good thing it's there because it makes lead passing less accessible especially to cheesers.

And the delay only happens when you do a lazy/careless pass or when you pass with a defender right in the passing lane.

yeah, that makes sense. i'll have to get my hands on the retail version and try some better perimeter defenders to see if they aren't as delayed.

Yeah, I think the game is perfect...even though the conversation we were just having has to do with something about the demo I dont like. Makes sense.

I dont "attack" anyone for their opinion, good or bad, who cares? but I know the difference between people giving feedback and people with an agenda.

You (trying to potray your username I guess) are the one in these threads saying everyone is jacked up on hype or saying the game is perfect (even though youve yet to give an example of this). Can you disagree with me? The "View recent posts" option doesnt lie, lol

WTF is up with my demo? It seems I can never win anymore, and I found it too easy before. Either the difficulty got harder, or I'm unlearning how to play NBA 2K because of all this freestyling and no plays.

The steal attempt animations, when attempting to intercept a pass is still sometimes a bit much. They give the player attempting the interception too much momentum in the direction he's reaching in sometimes. That can be toned down, or either let us be able to branch into a shot block attempt.

I did notice it seems to only happen when passing in traffic....i never wanted to pass to an open man, and it not happen due to delay.

even so, I can see why some dont like...apparantley neither did 2k....it wont be in retail.

so you are saying if a player has a low block attribute 2k makes up for it with a slow annimation, seems ok. im saying i cant move, my player was frozen caron butler isnt a stiff, after the slowed annimation he did attempt a block but only after LBJ passed in the air. when there was no threat of blocking the shot he had a quick jump , perfect timing slow annimation. but time will tell.

Yea I hope the perimeter defenders are a lot better at it also, but none the less the game is going to be amazing

No what I'm saying is that if you are back peddling it is harder for a defender to jump right away for a shot block. I definitely know Caron isn't a stiff, he is one of my good friends.

Here is what I'm noticing about lead passing. When I lead pass away from the basket, sometimes the defender gets a speed boost to catch up with the offensive player. I'm going to have to adjust to that this year. Maybe throw some more directional passes.

The passing delay has happened to me every time I've passed the ball no matter when it was. I'm glad it was confirmed that the delay is not in the retail version.

Double teaming Wade or James?

When you have two guys on one, that leaves another open..

Chalmers was always open for three when I first started playing, but i'm slowly learning how to play better, he doesn't score on me anymore at all.
