Loving this, but has anyone heard anything regarding control video??? Ronnie just went MIA regarding this topic, I need help with post game and dribbling!

Also not really feeling dirks face, it's off... Guess just seals my decision for pc version!

I was so sure I had a shot timed on a swing pass to the corner to Chalmers, so I flew out for the block. To my surprise, he waited, went under me, and as my defense rotated, he kicked it to the opposite corner to Wade, who then kicked it to an open LeBron as the defense rotated. Unbelievably smart ball movement by the AI during my game. if you have bad habits from 2K11 (like I do), this AI is going to own you for the first few weeks that you have the game. -I love the new % thing on the free throws. very helpful. -not as easy to poke a ball lose when a ball handler is just standing there dribbling it in front of you. he does a much better job of turning away to protect the ball. -post play is going to be fun to learn. I accidentally took a 15 foot hook shot with Dirk, thinking I was about to put up a turn around, fall away. not sure if stick movement affects the shot type, as opposed to last year when distance determined it. -Chris Bosh did serious work on me a couple of times in the post. had me jumping out of the building with Chandler. -buzzer beater celebrations seemed to be smoother. I won the quarter on a buzzer beater 3 by Dirk, and the second it went in, Butler and Kidd jumped up and down, Dirk celebrated. No delay, like in previous games.

those celebrations are cool i guess

but im still wondering about game winning celebrations

Oh, and did I mention how sick, diseased, infected the post game is !?! OMG

playing a bit more now and the passing is feeling better...i think the delayed pass animations are due to the player trying to get a better passing angle, so it seems to be coming from a better attempt at realism, which works for me. it also seems to be tied to the player's pass rating, which helps differentiate the good passers.

ps3 version looks fine to me...actually a noticeable improvement graphically over 2k11...less jaggies, smoother, crisper graphics...other than no camera men on the baseline, ps3 version looks pretty good to me.

Yes I agree the only thing I'm not liking is Dirks face ATM he looked better in last years game

I can't believe more people aren't pissed about the demo features. I love the gameplay improvements, but I don't feel like I'm getting a feel for how the final game will be by just playing one 4 minute quarter on an easy difficulty setting.
