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

[PkMnRangerMaps]

I played this demo thinking how much Derrick Rose is gonna benefit from this new collision system. I'm pulling of Rose-esque lay-ups with the crypt-keeper Kidd, just think of the damage D. Rose will do.

Can anyone tell me how to shimmy and shake in the post? The same way I did it in 2k11 for all kinds of hesitations and fakes isn't working with Dirk engaged in a post up.. he does basically the same up and under turn around move over and over again

i'm crossing people up and getting wicked drives with j kidd. rondo and rose will be amazing. the cpu keeps doing these weird one handed ball fakes. i am still trying to master the shot stick!

Any step in the positive direction is a great move. This really feels like a highly refined 2k11.. Like a game you'd play in December with slider v. 5.5.

+I timed a rebound off a missed FT badly with Chandler. He couldnt really catch it and it went OOB.

+I'm seeing quite a bit of organic feeling live ball physics. One instance was a steal that happened with my own CPU teammates. They didn't warp to the ball or anything. In fact, it bounced off of 4-5 other guys

+Blocks are great. I saw a block on both ends back to back.. I'm seeing more fouls and FTs than ever before on default settings.

I kind of fell out of the loop of playing or wanting to play 2k11, so all of this seems a bit fresh to me. I had played it enough to know there were things I hated about it. This time around it's a bit different

+I saw Lebron not get boxed out on a Wade three pt. attempt, and Lebron throws down a putback dunk.. On the other end, I see my CPU Chandler throw down a similar, albeit less powerful putback just 3 feet from the basket. Lebron's was a solid 6 foot gather.

+I got dunked on by Wade. He dunked on about 4 Mav players.. This shows me that help defense is greatly improved

+CPU passing makes sense this year. In years past we have seen the lead pass where they make a Magic Johnson-esque pass to the "open" man.. Here they are just making normal type of NBA passes.. "Hey im not open. Ill pass it around"

+CPU teammate Jason Kidd almost gets dunked on by Lebron. He tries to wrap him up. Collison detection comes into play about halfway up for Lebron as he goes from DUNK animation to bumped layup. Lebron gets the layup and the foul... It happens again but this time its Dirk who bumps him. He's not successful with the layup.. HEIGHT, WEIGHT, and possibly strength may play into the collisons and the success of the shot attempt.

+Just had an and1 layup with Kidd. Chandler walks up to me and brushes me off and pretends to take a photo of Kidd. Nice interactions there. (mightve been in 2k11)

I probably said it last year that I didnt play enough 2k10 to grow tired of it and know every single quirk. The same applies for 2k11. This 2k12 seems a bit like a new experience

LMAO..

Can someone link a recording of that sound? I don't hear it??

I go down to my basement to check on my download, I see its at 85% and then *crack* I accidentally step on my PS3 controller and break it. FML -___-

i have a couple questions, does the xbox 360 version have just one quarter of play,no anouncing, no time outs and no plays to call? i only have a ps3 so i only have only the ps3 version of the demo obviously lol. i noticed that there are some ps3 gamers on here saying the demo is taking awhile to download, i didnt have a problem with an accesive download time and i have a wireless connection for my ps3.

Love the post game. And the steals are fantastic this time around if the ballhandler is not carefull he will be striped in no time.

I have a question though. Does anyone know how to do a fake in the post without losing the pivot? It seems to me that once you do it its over. Also now that the triangle button has a different function how does one do the fake to spin move in the post?
