No but I was typically driving to the rim with the same players (Westbrook and Harper) so I would expect to see drastically different layups.

No.

Not from what I remember.

Not from what I saw. Big Men protect the rim through contact more than length in this game. If you drive the lane against Perkins you are more likely to have your shot affected by his contact than him changing your shot.

Did not check the option. Just played.

Keep in mind everyone that while 2 1/2 hrs seems like a long time, it flies when you are talking to a PR rep and playing 3 different modes. Didnt have the opportunity to check options.

I would say its slightly improved from last year. Its not a huge graphical leap but it does look better.

Did not see any charges.

From your experience do you feel Fatigue will play a factor in 2k12 this year? cause 2k11 was a non factor when it came down to fatigue.... Also how effective was the Zone D if any was played?

[Goffs]

Did you use right stick defense? Still the same as last year? That jump charge with the right stick felt useless to me. I liked it as a steal option better.

[DukeC]

How did the post up feel with the big man (Like Ewing)?

How did it feel with one of the guards/forwards (Like Durant)?

1) Did you get anymore info on the new "dynamic graphical" updates ? Where the 2k team can now update player hairstyles/accessories/shoes and even update courts/jerseys.

I remember reading about this on one of the OS previews I think ?



2) Did you also get any info on the PS3 version this season ?? Did they mention anything about it looking as good as the 360 version ?
