It was on pro with no slider adjustments. I only played one quarter per game because I wanted to play with as many teams as possible. I got abused my first game but got better as time passed.

I played mostly legends games so the defense was pretty tough for the most part. I figure it will adjust depending on the team but I can't say that definitively.

The hop step, spin move i was told are now on the right stick. I know you can break out of animations easier this year so maybe it will be push the stick one way to initiate the hop step then another way for a step through move or pump fake. I'm not sure about this last part though.

The Y button will initiate a back down move. You can also hold the Y button on the perimeter and use it to defend your dribble, and like Magic used to. But once you press Y, your player will turn his back.

Sorry man. I told Rob that this preview has spoiled the next month for me. It's tough going back to 2k11 now. I still love that game but you guys will notice a difference.

Jr does 2k11 seem unfun to you now ? It bores me to tears when I can even manage to put it in. I wonder if others who played 2k12 more than a qtr have similar feelings on 2k11. 2k12 was just so dam fun to play to me.

That's the one thing I really wanted to do - play with that Magic squad. But you have to unlock them so i had to play with the Knicks (no disrespect knick fans i just love Penny). That one dunk i described when he went baseline reminded me of how hard he would finish at the rim. That one-handed dunk that he would use and throw down with power. It looked like that though I know I'm not doing a good job describing it. I think he also had that hesitation dribble that he was known for. I'm pretty sure when I closed out on him he used that move to make me commit even more because I thought he was gonna shoot. But he blew by me old school Penny style. That's the team I want to run with. Hope that helped a little.

You are right. Like I said before and I know you know this Czar, all the little things that this community loves make this game a true leap from last year.
