Is shannon brown still on da lakers roster or is he on da free agent list.. 3.. Did u ask ronnie anything about the online improvements? 4. When you pass the ball down low in 2k11 if u get bumped a bit u fall down.. Do they still have that? Hope that is taken out. 5. When you pass the ball alot of times it fumbled even when u passed it close.. Also when u passed the ball to an open player to shoot in 2k11 ur player would b frozen fo a few seconds.. Is that finally gone??

1. I wish I could give you a better answer for this one but like Czar said the insight should clear it up. I wish I had asked this question when Rob was here but all i know is it's mapped to the right stick. I didn't use the hop step or spin move a lot so it didn't affect how I played the game. I figure the insight will clear that up when they release it.

2. I didn't play with or against the current Lakers.

3. I asked about online and online association but they were tiht lipped on that info. Rob did say that after last year's success, they are more prepared this year for the increased number of online players. But that's all the info he would share about it for now.

4. I didn't see any post up players fall during my time with the game.

5. The passing seems way more intuitive than in years past. Bounce passes are way more prevalent this year. And I didn't see any of that freeze issue when I played. Catch and shoot was smooth and responsive.

It amazing to me how freaking cbs has a more through and in-depth preview than these so called professional gaming websites. SMH

Every preview has had a certain vibe about it. Wether you played the hell out of 2k11 or barely touched it guys are all saying the same thing. It's a difference that becomes more noticeable the more you play it. Very nuanced. Very layered. There is probably no one outside of 2k that has played the game as much as I have. Still impressive and nothing else in my collection effects me like 2k12 did. It's not perfect but it doesn't have to be. It's deep and it Fun ! I'm talking fist pumping in a room alone fun. LOL. I am very interested to see what the issues of this game will be becuase what is good is really really good. I think hearing about the playcalling will give you another glimpse into what a special game 2k12 is.

I gotta take a page from your book and not hype the game too much. All I know is for sim players, I think you will be pleased.

I think some sites don't play the game like we do. An NBA 2k game will sit in my system for almost an entire year. I do play other games, but that one will get more run than any other. The guys who do previews on this site love the game like I do and you guys do. So when I get a chance to talk with Rob Jones I try to ask him questions hardcore NBA fans would ask. I don't think some other sites do that.
