I think we're on the same page, just saying it differently. I think that means it will be balanced.

Actually you are correct. The users who try to dunk all game with wade and lebron are usually pretty easy to beat because they do the something all game long. The ones who use bibby and miller at the 3 and bosh knocking mid range js down can be a handful. To be honest I've only played one or two of those types.

As long as there are counters and risk/rewards everything should be fine. I think I remember reading somewhere that you could bump guys on the pic n roll to limit abuse of the cutters.

WOW! Just can't believe that a basketball video game couldn't get any better than 2K11. I always thought that 2K12 could be slightly better by adding a few tweaks. BUT reading the previews and reading this article, 2K12 maybe miles ahead of 2K11. And I still play and enjoy 2K11!

Very excited about everything I read... especially inbound plays. Revolutionary.

Once Rob said that Czar was involved, I knew this was going to be good. I really like the changes to the playcalling, both for offense and defense. It will be nice to take a team like OKC and base its offense around Durant & Westbrook, or have Dallas run most of its play through Dirk.

On defense, I like that you can make some very effective calls with the quick menu; I did appreciate the levels of pressure and other things you could change in 2K11, but you had to wait until a timeout or pause the game and enter another menu to make all of those changes. Much quicker now, which is nice.

lets hope we can save plays... if not... this is pretty much useless.
