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

Now, I'm gonna try to cheese it up and see how the CPU responds to cheese tactics. Granted, the demo is probably on Pro, but it's worth a try anyway.

This is going to be a good year for bball fans.

Using JJ Barea is fun especially with the floaters and quicker dribbles. Just foul out Jason Kidd to use Barea. Gives you a good feel on how to control quicker guards.

Wet our appetites People are saying if this is an old build, just imagine what 2K12 would look like. Not person--PEOPLE. This is making people want more. If you read the threads, people are playing this demo continuously. Mission accomplished. 2. All these people to download it. Shouldn't have to explain. I don't care if people didn't like it--they downloaded it. And I don't care how many 360 people say it isn't good--PS3 users will download it when available. Mission accomplished. 3. Want the retail version even more. You don't want to play limited periods? You want to run plays? You want the retail version...but now you want it EVEN MORE. Mission accomplished. Again, just because you aren't down with it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.

Look what you're talking about here..

"Read the threads"..

You're on a 2k Forum dude.. what do you think is going to happen? Of course the people here will play this game continuously..

To me, it doesn't make sense as a marketing tactic for a company to use this ploy, because if you have a better game - the fanbase who plays it and tries the demo will know it's superior to the last version (hence, these forums)..people HERE will play this game regardless if it's stripped down or if it has all the features - so what you're saying is that they will purchase it because they are being 'teased' by not having the entire thing and I think in this case considering everyone here is already a hardcore fan and just want to get their hands on the game already.. difference of opinions

I didn't mean to state your post didn't make sense, I mean what the company is doing to me doesn't make sense..

what I'm talking about here is guys who pick up the demo and don't play 2k regularly (there are still many of those) and will think that this is how the actual game is.. and choose to forgo buying it.

Nice touch on the TNT-esque mini-ad on the bottom left.

Smh. I agree. Ppl want to call everything cheese. So being able to look up the court like players do in real like is cheese. Broadcast is more of a cheese bc no player on the court can see the entire court at all times.

I know I'm not alone - I feel like I can't really control what is going on if the inner coach inside of me can't be used in a game. It's nice taking Dirk or whomever and learning the controls... but it feels so shallow, even for just a few minutes.

AMEN i am a terroble freelance ballplayer.

Game just isn't as fun or as deep without plays. I hate not being in control of my attack.

I mix in freestyle of course but to have to do it every time down is ruff for me. LOL

Fernandez just tugged him and looked like he patted him on the back, I think...very nice, least it wasn't the same *** intentional foul animation. Second time was when they threw Bosh an outlet pass. Caught up with Dirk and I forgot the rules of basketball like an idiot. Grabbed Bosh and got a clear path foul. lol

Well wrap around fouls were in 2K11...I even think you used the same button combo as you use for 2K12.

Same here...don't understand why 2k doesn't even have quick plays so that we can do something like tell our guys to post up in the demo. Not having quick screens sucks as well. Not a biggie...I'm at the point where I can wait 2 weeks to get the whole enchilada.
