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

Yeah after playing some more, I think the Dunk sounds need to go back to the way they were. Maybe they are more realistic now, but this is part of the game I rather be arcadey and add extra emphasis.

The AI is amazing. i was trying to pull a bunch of cheap stuff, like stealing the inbounds pass and the cpu never fell for it. and they were killing me with drives and up&unders whenever i'd attempt to block a shot too soon. it got to the point where i almost felt lucky whenever i could outsmart the cpu


i also like post ups being on the triangle button now. i was kinda skeptical about the switch. the freedom of movement in the post is nice too


ball physics are cool too. i threw an oop to fernandez off the edge of the backboard while he was running on the wing. last year, it seemed like u could only throw one off the glass if the guy was pretty much running directly behind you

this is by far the most realistic video game basketball i've witnessed...i have yet to see any WTF moments or head-scratchers...haven't seen any weird physics or anything that limiting me. when i score, it's because i did something right, and when something bad happens, it's because i did something wrong...this game does not hold your hand or baby you...it pummels you in the face for every mistake you make...excellent. the AI opponent is relentless..it attacks any opening in the blink of an eye.

EVERYTHING that happens looks and feels appropriate for the situation...something you couldn't quite say about 2k11.

Even if the demo was 4 quarters you still would not get that feeling the demo is an old build.

Player models are on point. Bosh is very ugly. Mismatches : This game does take mismatches pretty seriously The Pre Game warmup was amazing! Changing layups in mid air is amazing too ! Cons: As for a Demo, its sucks that its so dry, but like Pared said... I rather the demo to be dry, not the game (not exact words) Injuries Animation: Where everyone stops to look at a guys twisted ankle is a no no for me. Def 3 Second. The game freezes. Pretty sure this will only be in the demo though. Overall, I enjoy the demo, and I feel it is a great improvement from 2k11.

Actually the this bug will be in the final release version of the game. The game will freeze everytime there's a 3 second call- but only in the copy that YOU personally buy.

played a few games on ps3, and a few on xbox. the ps3 version definetly looks improved graphically from past years. Last year there were alot of jaggies, this year i didn't see any. Both run buttery 60fps smoothe. The only difference is that the xbox has brighter colors. At a glance you might say its better, but personally i prefer the color pallette of the ps3 version, it just looks more realistic, where the xbox version looks sort of cartoony because of the bright colors. Last year i said if they bring the ps3 version graphically to the level of xbox and keep the color pallette, it would be the best looking one for me, looks like 2k might have done that this year. either way i don't think ps3 players have much to worry about this year.
