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

What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to get Rudy Fernandez to foul out but he keeps acting like there's an invisible leprechaun on the court somewhere and he keeps trying to catch it for the pot o' gold.

Edit: And something I was hoping for, drives to the hoop that end in layups feel like NBA layups. With all the speed and power of someone like LeBron would have, but he doesn't throw it down. Imagining D. Rose is gonna give me nightmares cuz I almost never play with the Bulls.

Graphics are nice.

The post game already feels like a chore since I have to re-learn some of the most basic go to moves (i.e. drop step)

The A.I. is getting closer to feeling like a human opponent, but doesn't play fluid enough to convince me. Why did LeBron dribble out the clock (15 secs left) when he clearly had a 1 on nothing fast break? Why is Udonis Haslem in iso nearly at the three point line? Why does Wade do so many pointless crossovers?

Single player has never won me over in any sports game. You eventually learn all of the A.I.'s tricks and it's a wrap for it every single game. 2k12 appears to be no different.

Besides that, it is what it is. October 4th was a no brainier anyway.

Has anyone tried shot stick 3.0 or whatever number they are on? I pulled off a couple of nice ones with Rudy and Caron. Altering your shot in mid air finally looks sweet and makes sense.

I know the default tendencies were a complete and total disaster in 2k11, and honestly didn't work all that well even after changing them yourself. This is a major area of concern for me in 2k12.

I've had the opposite experience, Lebron and Dwayne have taken center stage in most of my games. I even played one where Lebron missed two shots in a row, I blocked Wade next time down, they fed Bosh three times a row to re-establish their offense - awesome to see.

Just dunked on Joel Anthony with Rudy Fernandez it was a thing of beauty from the way he went up to the contact he made with Anthony before he went down to the ground followed by Rudy steering him down.

I like how you make your own size-ups this year. LT and up, keep holding LT, and go left stick to the left, then right, then up. Make your defender act a fool!
