^^LOL


Anyways, this sounds great. I didn't think they could improve any more on last year's game, but if this is true...wow.

Now, with all we heard today, I'm really hyped for this game. It's up there with Mass Effect 3 as my most anticipated game coming out between now and next year.

U make it sound like every scrub will lose the rebound every time...

Don't try to dissect every sentence 2K says cause in that case you'll read something negative into everything.

Re: NBA 2K12 Hands-On Preview (Gamespot)

Never read too much into a gamespot preview, how they can call this "hands on" is beyond me. It sounds like he watched 30 seconds of gameplay.

Keep in mind Gamespot doesn't necessarily have guys who are NBA fans reviewing their games, you can tell by much of the terminology that's used when describing situations. I mean..."begin a counterattack"? Did he just parry his roundhouse?

I believe it was a Gamespot reviewer who was upset with 2K10 or 11 because his players wouldn't "dunk everything like NBA players do". LOL

From Gamespots 2k11 Review "Even though Michael Jordan is no better than a benchwarmer in NBA 2K11".

Riiiiiight.

Hopefully making the hands important for rebounding means that players now box out and its not all about vert. Hopefully its now about positioning so guys like Randolph and Love who get two inches off the floor can be rebounding machines
