NBA 2K12 Video - Los Angeles Clippers vs. Boston Celtics (OS Exclusive)

[Tommyklaid]

GREAT to see a VIDEO ---these days I believe "screenshots" are outdated...

5-7 years ago screenshots were great, but screenshots just don't don't do anything for me anymore...call us spoiled, but it's 2011 and we want gameplay!! So, it's great to see it!!!



Good stuff
- presentation looks "cleaned up"
- animations seem to flow much better
- ABSOLUTELY LOVE the addition of Steve Kerr - BEST IMPROVEMENT I.M.O.
- the walk-up/dribbling animations are baaaaack....yes! (can the CPU do it too????)



Bad stuff
- @4:19 Ray Allen makes an "And-1" and there's NO REACTION FROM THE CROWD....WTF?!?!?!?!?!? (2K needs to really work on the CROWD...)
- @7:30 Blake Griffin's lay-up looked weird (there should have been contact, because it never would be that easy)
- the 1-armed pass 'in the lane' AND 'across the court' needs to go

Damn. Pulling out the DeLorean, setting it for Oct. 4, 2011:

- great intro, presentation excellent. Thought crowd reactions were very appropriate for a normal game. Leaves room to amp things up noticeably in the playoffs (which 2K says they've addressed)
- game looks SMOOTH
- 3-man commentary booth sounds great, remarkably everything sounded new which I didn't expect. Interested to see if they have any casual conversational interations between all three (although some people complained about it last year). Either way, excellent commentary
- like the variable walking/jogging anims additions
- cpu play looks awesome
- the players are so distinctive, refreshing to see the individuality

Off to watch again. Go ahead and say it 2K. Stick the two swords in one at a time, pull them out, double-chop the head off and say:

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?

me: You had me at hello

It looks like most of the improvements were "under the hood" as far as gameplay...

crisper movement\ dribbling
collisions
quicker movement on plays\screens

Czar was right when he said nothing will pop out at you....

bur for a guy like me, I love it....

It seemed last year any time I tried to roll the ball inbounds, the computer would attempt to dive on it if I let it roll near half court. So it may be a small thing, but it was nice to see rolling the ball that far was not an automatic dive from the opponent. In 2K11, in theory, the user could bait the computer into a dive then take a 5 on 4 advantage down the floor.

The thing I was most happy with is how good all 3 announcers sounded together. It was 1 of the things I feared would sound forced and take away from a great game. Overall it looks amazing and I cant wait to play you guys online Oct 4

This looks and sounds incredible. I've never bought an NBA game, but this will be a for sure buy for me this year. If only NCAA, Madden, and NHL can learn from this broadcast style presentation. Presentation isn't about cut scenes, but rather how the actual game is presented by the broadcasters, the real time commentary, stat overlays, and the crowd reaction. This game looks to have nailed it. Can not wait to take my first step into video game basketball.
