[BEARYChi]

Joakim Noah is on Point.

I. Love. 2k.

Everything I asked for last year for the post game seems to have been improved and then some. Hopefully the moves are tied really well to ratings like they say, so we don't get any Brendan Haywood's playing out of character. I was already sold but...gotdayum, we still have a Defense insight?? And then a Controls insight??? And we haven't even gotten around to Association!?

2k12 Post Game - The game within the game.

Man, I can see it now...You pull off two consecutive baseline spins with success. Knowing this, your opponent wises up and "anticipates" the spin. Third move, shoulder fake baseline into across the lane running hook. 2 points. Fourth possession, catch the ball right on the block, no used dribble. Lean into defender, fake middle, fake baseline-to-hook shot. Glass.

**** me.

So anxious...so,so anxious, it's not even funny anymore.

Hearing about the Rick Mahorn trick (some of you old schoolers know what I'm talking about) different types of counters and offensive options makes me all giddy inside.

Wondering if Penny has a decent post rating, I recall when he came into the league he was skinny and frail so he was mainly a slasher, he bulked up in the 1995 season and developed a little post game and that was when all the talk of him being the next Magic Johnson came into play.

Getting back on topic though, I'm eagerly anticipating Mo's (I know you're EDOT now, but you'll always be Momentous, big homie) Demystifying the post game video as well as seeing countless Youtube vids from AmeDawg killing dudes with Big Al.

I'm more concerned about seasoned veterans such as yourself,Pared,Chase,Str8 (the list keeps going and going) really doing work on some of us 2k noobs in the vets league this upcoming season.

I know you've already circled your calendar against me for putting a blemish on what should've been another perfect season.

This was the best Insight so far in my opinion. Love how deep the post game will be in NBA2K12.
