There's so much you can do, but I can't perform any of it in a game situation. Isomotion? Forget it. Post moves outside of a jump-hook and fadeaway? Forget it. I'm gonna have to spend a month in practice mode to catch up to the seasoned vets. Crazy, because I've had every single 2K basketball game.

You are not alone, sir. What's crazy is I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to use the training mode for the post and use the gym for plays.

Guys, quick question about that walk up animation everyone was talking about during previews...

how do you do this? I don't notice anything new when I'm just walking up the court with Jason Kidd.

Holding down RT does some kind of speed burst. Did you guys mean this?

You can call it NBA2K11.5 or whatever, but it's good, very good. So many new moves you can pull of it's crazy. Iso motion is nice, you can do a spin or an around the back from a step back or hesitation. The AI will do things you never seen them do before, D-Wade will pump fake you out of your shoes.

Pull up jumpers are super smooth and the escape dribbles are so dope. With all these moves there is defense to stop them. The collisions are done very well and look realistic.

The live ball system works well, i've seen the ball hit players on the back and also seen it get loose from contact. Steals with good defenders is possible, i was able to strip Eddie House with Caron Butler for a nice dunk.

The post game is so fun to use because there's so many different fakes and ways to get your shot off. This game is going to blow you away.

the last 3 years are a very good indicator.

hell the trailer has them celebrating the same way after the MJ shot.

Sorry if me not be satisfy with players after they hit a GW do a quick celebrating and then just walk away as if it never happened makes you upset. With 2K i expect amazing detail in everything and for the most part they do a great job but this is one area they never seem to touch (not that its EXTREMLY important, but eould love to feel like i did something).

You need to feather the left stick in order to walk. You can't push it all the way to a direction, or you'll just jog.

Folks, demos dont get released out of the goodness of anyone's heart. Just like the free samples at Costco arent there because their worried about you and dont want you to starve. That being said, most reasonable people would be perfectly satisfied with: having the ability to choose between the teams, having the option to call plays, and having a two player option.
