I did like that they added fans hollering at the player shooting free throws. There was at least one male and female voice yelling something like, "let's go Jason Kiiid.." at the line. I would have liked it to sound a bit more echo-y like it it should be in an arena, but still cool.

You can still do it, but you basically have to do a hop stop layup, but release before the layup is performed, almost like a pumpfake. So yes and no, there is not button for it, but it's still possible to do one, just more difficult. It's a great move to do though, to fake and reverse back in the other direction, either like a Rondo fake or a Kobe spin shot. I love that aspect of this game!

I agree with that... it's just that one long, loud "woooooooorrrooooooooooo" all screechy and blood boiling. Can't un-hear it! Haha, I hope they can remove that one byte, but if not, it's a very small issue.

LHH!

Do you guys realize we all sound like a bunch of crack addicts???

Anyway...Sim players dream as I've stated before.

Its one of the little things... but every time I press pause there is a different NBA player picture in the menu.

Some of the best ones I've seen so far is Lebron guarding Melo, Blake Griffin and David Lee guarding each other, Rondo and KG, and Kevin Martin

[K0ZZ]

Can't touch LeBron without a foul being called. Had Kidd plant his feet for a few seconds and LeBron got the blocking foul called on J Kidd.

At least they have the refs being realistic.

(Not sarcasm)

Great game though, missed a lot of wide open shots and I had some trouble driving the lane, but I'm not complaining I've been out of basketball for a while.

I've played about 30 games now and I must say I love it too.
Like everyone's said, the game just feels smoother and more polished. It's all the good stuff from 2K11 and they seem to have fixed the bad stuff.

Me and a friend always said that if they were to just tweak 2K11 and add all the glitter around it I would buy 2K12 in a heartbeat, and it looks like I got even more than that.

I also need to give props to whoever made the courts. The Mavs court looks awesome! It looks like real wood! All the screenshots I've seen so far also have great courts. If 2K sees this, tell him thanks from this random OS forum member

The only negative I have to say from the demo is that I would've liked to be able to have a 2 player mode. My friend and I always play against eachother and it would be fun to play this demo against each other.

The fact that it's stripped down doesn't really matter. I would like to have some more features in the demo, but that's just cause I want to play this game even more
