Yeah I had the same thing happen. Hopefully just a demo glitch

I'm surprised going for that block made Fernandez jump so high and actually AIM for the ball! Second thing I noticed was on offense, I was sizing up Haslem with Dirk, took a clean jumpshot over him and as it rolled around for about one second, I got an Over The Back with Chandler...something that never really happened that clear for me in 2K11. As soon as I tapped Turbo + Y to rebound, LeBron was in front of me and sold it well. I also still got the points for Dirk's shot. Wade was MURDERING me. Him, Chalmers and Mike Miller...why? Every single time there was a loose ball, Chalmers and Miller DOVE for it. Literally EVERY possession. There was an inbounds play where everyone was locked defensively and they could only throw to Haslem. CPU tipped it with Dirk. Fernandez goes FLYING. EVERYONE is scrambling. Ball ends up under the hoop where Wade and two defenders are, I think it was Chandler and Butler. Wade grabs the ball, does a turning pump fake but saw everybody, THREW it out to Chalmers and Chalmers wet the 3. Beautiful... Within the last seconds I was down 4, and with Intense D, I was able to block Wade with Dirk as he ran directly into the post (Kidd was with me as well), threw out to Caron Butler as he beat Mike Miller to the other side of the court, did a sweet little step into his 3 pointer instead of a bare jumpshot and WET the 3 pointer! Looked great!

Do tell more

Dont click on the actual demos square. It's outside of that where you select demos, arcade games, etc. Go to the A-Z and go to N, it should be their.

-The post game this year is MONEY(Larry Merchant approved). Like everyone else is saying, Dirk plays and controls like his real life counterpart. The pump fakes, step throughs and up and unders from the post game are easily executed. For one of the few times i can remember in video games, the post became fun.

-Blocks and steals are also tuned, timing is everything this year. Hands up is a great addition and although it took some time to get used to, the wrapping up foul option is a welcomed addition.

-Im not sure what setting the default AI is on, but it's amazing to watch and play against. Miami will destroy you on fast breaks and turnovers, as well as taking advantage of any mistmatch. If you find Tyson Chandler guarding Lebron, its safe to assume Lebron will score (4th quarter excluded)

-The game overall is just baby skin smooth. Any doubts you have about it being worth it after last years game, just let them go and enjoy this game for what it is....and that is artwork.

Back to work

Anyone know about the signature gather/dribble?

Y button is obviously post up now, but i can't imagine 2k getting rid of the sig gather.

D-wade just caught the sickest tip dunk off a Lebron brick. Wade's so hard to stay in front of.

First game, second possession. Pass it to Dirk. Shoot a jumper to check out his release. He falls, gets injured and is out for the game. I laughed.
