I swear, even when I hold both the back triggers they still get blown by. CPU does a decent job of staying with them though I just gotta get used to it.

Alright, Game #5.

Decided for this to be my "let's abuse the post" game.

Threw to Chandler who was almost wide open every possession. Posted up Joel Anthony first time. Spun around him and drove, got a nice dunk. Alright, it was expected...Joel's pretty flat footed.

Second time...did it again, looked to the right, spun, drove, this time I got some pretty good contact and Chandler changed his shot to like, a chucking layup for a foul. Didn't look forced. Didn't look like an animation. I tried shooting right after the spin and that's what it gave me with Joel's contact.

Was kinda weirded out that I could make a 36% free throw (Slightly Early) with Tyson Chandler...

And I finally found something I didn't really like! Alright, so I had Dirk on Mike Miller the first time. Jab step. Jab step. Little bit of moving the ball around with Dirk, Miller's flying everywhere. Posting up now. TRYING to do the one legged shot. Spun around, backed up and faded away. That was the fine part. Second time, did the same exact thing, but instead of fading away, I did the "tap tap" on my shot stick, which I thought was gonna give me a little shimmy animation. It actually made Dirk ZOOM past Miller and dive right into the paint, which gave me something that felt like 2 different points of contact and it altered my shot heavy. Not in a clunky type of animation, but Dirk really did a whole bunch of extra crap.

Won Game 5 by 3. Wade actually ignored all his players on their last attempt (lol) and Chandler blocked it easily. Fernandez was RIGHT under me to scoop up the ball. 3 on 1. Butler running. Toss it up with Fernandez...like riiiiiiiight under the hoop, almost. Butler got in his stance and LEAPED...but fumbled the ball. Hmm! Mad I didn't get the alley, but also happy! Looks like you really have to time those alleys right, it's not just gonna come to you like in 2K11.

Maybe he has a reaaaalllly slow FT in 2k12?

yeah, it's a glitch.. hopefully only in the demo....

My summer is officially over. Hello +10 lbs winter weight gain

Impression
-The presentation is just....WOW
-the controls are just....WOW
the post game is so smooth and so in depth..WOW

the A.I. is definitely improved by a landslide, I can honestly say for the first time it actually felt like I was playing a human. The Heat were playing like well..the heat lol.
-Lebron brings it down court every time, you can't run plays manually in the game but you can tell the Heat are running plays
-I'm actually going for the cpu fakes (never did in 2k11)
-the cpu's isomotion is real nice, they actually chain moves together that keep you on your toes
-the physics system is great, I did a few fakes in the post with Dirk and bosh went for one came down on me, and it was a foul because of the collision...WOW
-it was nice to see the cpu get me with a couple of post moves them selves
-the cpu finally pass out situations where they know it will be a bad shot instead of how in 2k11 they would take it anyway whether they were being double teamed or not


All in all this demo is amazing and I'm not even good in it...YET
I'm definitely not playing this online until I complete training camp mode and feel that I am 100% ready. This game is deep this year from the isomotion to the shots to the post moves. You better bring your A game this year because this doesn't feel like a video game anymore... It feels like BASKETBALL
