man the only thing i hate about this game is the moral issue that 2k has actually kidnapped dirk nowitzki and turned him into an animated object..lockout yeah right.. 2k is kidnapping all the players...kinda like a space jam part 2..

What In The Sam Hill!!!!! Third time playing and I switch off LBJ to play D Wade, he makes a quick fake to the right drives left down the lay and DUNKS over Chandler with two hands!!!!. What's so great about the animation is that the only thing Chandler could do was extend his hands as to keep from being dunked on. Haha , yes this is what I'm talkin about !!! I can't wait to play the retail version.

Wasn't blown away one the 1st play through, but on subsequent games I noticed more and more changes. Love the collision system and post game. I could definitely see people over faking just because they can. Is it just me or the the ball handling/movement feel more like nba lives outstanding system? Things I didn't like: too many blocks on defense. Felt like I broke up way more shots than I should have with players I had no business doing it with. Defense in general was good though. The shuffle steps will take my already nasty d to the next level.

Ok someone earlier posted about the little TNT ads in the corner...I just saw LBJ and Dirk in the corner for a promo for the game release . Presentation!!! You just got to love it

My impressions

This is the best representation of a sport I have ever seen. The AI use of moves fakes and ball movement is so sick. I have never said wow so many times after playing a demo before and this is not even the retail copy. Once you unlearn what you tried to master in 2k11 and learn some of the moves the game just opens up. What I like is the random play I experience nothing feels scripted ,a very dynamic gameplay. On the surface it looks like 2k11 but once you start playing, the game takes it to another level. I can't wait to see other teams in action

Man .... the demo looks great

[m-dogg]

maybe the best game I've ever played. not sports, any game.

the new animation system changes everything, total control at all times. no more getting sucked into weird two man animations when driving. now 2k shows you that you are forcing a bad shot by the defense making contact and altering your shot. blocks are better, boxing out is awesome and more realistc. love the use of hands while playing defense. this is hoops nirvana.

if only i could change difficulty, pro is just too easy. miami should be challenging to beat. although it is fun to beat up on a team i despise. cant wait for retail and the added commentary, etc.

if only 2k college hoops still existed...sigh...
