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

[THEone86]

A few notes:
GOOD
- I love the Presentation even though it doesn't have the animated intros from The Clippers Celtics Video.
- the player models look even more spectacular than before, I can really see EVERY Tattoo from all the players, and the facial expressions , realistic look , and texture is so sweet.
- The signature style got even BETTER than in 2K11 which i didn't think was possible, Yeah, I though Maybe they otta put a few more sig jumpers in there but now there is 4 Sig gather shots, and all of dirks moves look like the real Dirk.
- Rebounding feels so much more realistic now , and I don't think I've seen more than a few times when a Box out was Magically broken.
- Dunks are obviously improved. Slam cam is awesome.
- I don't feel cheated when I get schooled, I feel satisfied and use it to my advantage on the next defensive possession.
- The post game is better than I ever could've thought of ever imagining ever.
- Iso-Motion smooths together a lot better.

BAD
- .... Uhm... There isn't any.

This game is incredible. I can't wait to play the Full version and play the real game modes.

what are you adding with these replies? theres some ps3 guys that want to get actaul opinion from people who have both consoles

CPU AI is so life-like and intelligent...i love how the CPU now shows RESTRAINT. it doesn't just pull up for bad jumpers because it wants to shoot...now it will hang back and keep probing for an opening.


scoring in the paint is not easy...dunks are much more rare now...if there are defenders in the paint, you're probably going to get a contact layup, not an exaggerated dunk on animation.

i have the ps3, and i just wanted to ask. Mike said in the control blog, that we will be able to backpadel and try and steal the ball at the same time, but i just played the demo 3 times and tried to do it and the steals are still the same. Is it because this is not the final game shipping or is this going to be the same as last year?

The anticipation sound from the crowd during a shot isn't in ps3 version. In general, crowd sounds better imo in 360 and more realistic...ps3 crowd sounds a bit over the top.

directional passing still has some issues

Id like to know this too. Specifically the Double Shimmy. The controls say: While posted up quickly move the RS to the player's left or right, to the opposite side, then back again.

When I do this I get the up and under.

The only thing I don't like is how frequently the CPU takes and makes shots off the glass. They do it a lot and is really unstoppable. Other than that, AWESOME.
