Yeah it was already discussed it is not in the PS3 version.

-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.

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!
