NBA 2K12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[Hassan Darkside]

-Presentation is sweet. Good to see there's variation on the intro videos despite it being the same teams/players.
-Can't play as Miami
-CPU does a good job of driving and dishing to the open man when the help defense rotates
-Nice control over the dribble moves, can finally chain them together as you please. It'll take some practice though.

What quarter and nobody had talked about the crowd. How is it and I dont mean just dont front row. The crowd as a whole. Do they cheer at the right times, get loud, etc?

Huh? Read my post again

The view the demo has is the broadcast camera, from the side. I was saying how I hate this view and never play it so I can't judge how the game looks completely. 2K Camera view > all

Another bare bones demo. The presentation is nice, very nice movement on the players. The game has a real weight to it/ But for all of the reviews that say "it is impossible for me to go back to 2K11", I think that is a bit over the top. the game speed has increased a bit, and the movement has enhanced miles, but it certainly is not incredibly better than 2K11.

Is there any type of audio? Not commentators but I mean crowd sounds, ball hitting the floor, squeaky shoes, music, rim sound, player sound, etc. Etc.

It was just a quick cut scene to a single ref showing the count it hand gesture.

Another thing i like is how Bron was patient with the ball and did dribble moves to get a clear space for a shot... did it real calmly too

and Dirk is butter... post game is waxy its so smooth

First game was a success. Won by one.

Did Dirk's one legged fadeaway.

Defense stepped up INCREDIBLY. I cut off LeBron several times with Caron Butler off that LT+RT+movement that they discussed in the earlier insight where you could cut him off if he's running directly to the post. Putting hands up anywhere you want to also works wonders.

Did a CLEAN alley oop from Fernandez to Butler.

CPU only dunked once, off a LeBron pumpfake to a clear open Haslem, who looks MUCH better this year...him AND Eddie House. Player models are GREAT.

Wet a 3 with Jason Kidd, shooting seemed simple enough. Also did the walk animation. Beautiful.

Had a 3-on-1 fastbreak with me, Fernandez and Tyson Chandler. I'm coming up bottom left, Fernandez upper right, Chandler coming straight down the court. Passed to Chandler right at the end of the cut. Chandler did a simple, sweet throw in right over Chalmers. Felt the bump on my controller from contact, but of course, size advantage. Very nice! No stupid animation!

Dirk was VERY hard to use the first game for me, probably because I was trying the new post system and just couldn't get it down the first try.

Very impressed the first game!
