It could be worse. It could be a madden demo where you get a full game but the gameplay just isn't a big improvement over the previous year lol. IMO the 2k11 jump to 2k12 is bigger than the madden 10 jump to madden 12 (the most recent 2 maddens i played). Gives you an idea about which company cares about their product and actually has passion in making a better game.

too bad they looked like they could care less.....

Experience so far has made me believe that you have a lot less turbo in 2K12 than you did in 2K11. Whenever I start running with the ball, it's never long before my turbo depletes.

I think people forget this. They have to take time out of the schedule and make a special demo version. That's not necessarily an easy thing to do. Nor is it totally free to the developer. But for YOU, it's free. I've never been on to look a gift horse in the mouth (I wonder where that saying comes from) so I'll never complain about the amount of content of a demo. It's a demo. I WILL complain about issues - such as the FT glitch. I'd rather they take a day and fix that for the final instead of adding another quarter on the demo.

Impressions:

-Boxing out actually works!
-Post up/Shots take some getting use to. But it feels like it's the way it should've been all along. I spent all year mastering the wrong way and now I have to unlearn it But it's hard to explain - but it goes back to Rob's point about getting rid of the Canned animations.
-Presentation is pretty nice
-Demo is featureless
-There's a lot more pump faking and defenders jumping. Hoping this doesn't translate in PvP
-Maybe I need to play more, but when folks dunk, I don't hear the typical dunk sound. It sounds like a regular jumper going in.
-Lebron is fast!
-At around @1:45 I shot a 20 foot hookshot with dirk ????
