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

[blues rocker]

ps3 version looks great...much better than last year.

I am drawing a bunch of fouls in my jump shot. I'll admit, I've never been a shot stick user, but I'm gonna get the hang of it this year. So there has been a learning curve, been forcing a lot of shots, but I've been bailed out with a bunch of jump shot fouls. I have not been getting any love in the paint so far. I've been missing layup after layup, but I'm fine playing on the perimeter for the most part.

I officially hate this camera view. 2K is the way to go.

Just FREAKED OUT over something I pulled off with Kidd. I sized up my defender, faked an escape shot, then exploded to the basket and blew past the defender. My layup attempt got blocked, but geez, that was unreal. What makes it even better is that I did all of it, I wasn't helped by ANY canned animations.

15 games down and Joel Anthony has yet to take a shot....that's what you can call epically real!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but for those who wished for the tightness the 2k series was known for before last year floaty animations you will still be disappointed.

It's better than last year but not by much.

Knowing 2k server issues it's going to be worst online and you probably won't notice much difference form last year.

If the movement feels the way it feels offline in the demo when you take it online. If they fix the servers. . It would be an improvement. But like I said. Barely.

Right now this demo can not compare at all to the tightness of 2k7, 2k8. 2k9 or 2k10.

Just take a step with your defensive man forward.

You stopped moving the stick but he's still moving forward.

It's no where near in real time. Why am I watching his two feet plant so slowly.

Which means there is no way you can feel like your on the court.

It's just not real. The animations still need to be tightened up.

Hopefully they have tightened it up a little before they release.

It's better than last year but not by much.

Looks like the fanboys are wetting their pants again when it's nowhere near necessary.

Yet every time I read a hands on preview they talk about how great the game feels compared to last year. Even though these same reviewers never made a peep about how bad the animations were last year. Neither did the fanboys. It was funny reading how last year was the greatest even though the animations were the worst the series has seen on the next gen.

I have both systems. I only played it on the 360.

Shimmy left, Shimmy Right, Pump Fake Left, Spin Right, Pump Fake into a step thru layup....Now that is an untouchable combo in 2k11

I was not a big fan of 2k8, I can honestly say this doesn't remind me of it at all.
