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

[TreyIM2]

At first, I was thinking, "I don't get it. Still sloppy controls and movement..." then I put the demo down for a while after one play then returned for several games.
Now, I'm thinking, "Eh, not as sloppy but not as tight as people are overblowing it on Op. Sports. Maybe there's a version difference?". I haven't been wowed by this series in a long time, but, it's entertaining.

As for the graphics in this demo, on the PS3 - Ashy. Maybe I'm sitting too close to my TV or sumthin but that's the first word that came to mind but, then again, I think last year's was, too, but at least it's not jaggy. Graphics just don't pop in terms of resolution and the crowd looks faceless, from afar, and not sharp.

Debating on whether I will get this but then again, I already traded in 2K11, which I barely played. I must be an alien or sumthin. Sumthing about these controls and movement continue to irk me.

Have any Australians been able to find it in the PS Store?

All in all, it should be much easier to be a SF, PF, or C in myplayer this year. Last couple years, IMO, have been guard dominant. I will be motivated to get down in the post this year tho.

Was it like this or similar to this?

I've played both the 360 and the PS3 version via HDMI on three different monitors and two HDTV's - I have a lot of crap hooked up, LOL. I will definitely say the 360 version looks noticeably better, appears to be clearer than the PS3 version. The PS3 is using a much better anti-aliasing method than 2K11, that said, it does cause some slight blur, compared to the 360 version, hard to discern. The PS3 is using a softer color pallete compared to the 360, honestly I prefer the color spectrum more so on the PS3 than the 360, looks more natural and less cartoon like. They did much better on the PS3 this year than last - it also has DTS vice DD 5.1 for the 360. I preordered the 360, though I would be more than happy with either one.

not a big deal, but why does every player shoot a foot away from the freethow line ala T-mac?

PS3 user here,
so far its good, but small graphical work is missing, like the camera men on the side, lot more space on the outside of the court.

when you play the demo and the NBA 2K12 Coming Early October comes up the 360 version shows Dirk and Lebron or something like that, the PS3 doesn't just the pop up and thats it.

Overall feels good, silky smooth but some clipping issues occur when dirk does his post up and pump fakes, he then pivots over through the defender and you can see the animation just glitch for a second and automatically pop into a shooting session.

edit:
btw i am very happy with the ps3 it is a lot better than last years, just point out to the people who want to know what I noticed.
Can't wait til the 4th
