That's what's up. My points don't really apply to you then. There is another segment that want's control "outside" of realism I get really finicky in that area like instantaneous stop's and starts regardless of the players physics. Trust me the Dev's are in no way satisfied with their current progress. I honestly feel through being up there as much as I was this year that every moment that could be spent on the development of this game was spent. That doesn't mean we shouldn't say I like mine with mustard & mayo. LOL A lot of them read through the threads so give good deep reasoning behind why you don't like something. What you posted above let's them know that you don't have unreasonable demands and that you acknowledge their improvement. It's much easier for them to digest well balanced input like you dropped above. When threads get personal we loose our influence. Ultimately that is bad for us.( not directed at you at all)

Once again Czar THANKS !
You are the voice of the people kind of like our middle man and your knowledge of the game is supreme from all of the things I have seen you post , blog , etc ...
Keep up the good work homie and I look forward to your future info !!

Has anyone been able to keep the CPU at 0?

Denying the ball actually works this year. No more forcing passes that are not there, because they will get picked off.

Also good to see they fixed the clear path fouls.

I've lost count of how many times I've played the demo, but I have yet to tire of the video montage that plays before every game. Somehow through different camera angles, letting different animation sequences play out, etc. it seems like I see something new every time. And this is all with the same teams, same music, same uniforms... Can't see myself ever getting tired of it. Great job 2K

I was wondering, is the demo at default speed (or has new builds slowed up default speed) or is it a little faster (Maybe make it more exciting to newbs etc). Because i feel it's waaaay faster than 2K11 is. A bit too fast for me. (I know it's not a problem cause you can tweak it, but I was just wondering.)

Why did they take out the contested jumpers? Arg so frustrating

[johnrice20022002]

One thing I'm extremely impressed with are the animations for contested layups. For example, when Lebron drives down the from the top of the key and there is legitimately 2-3 players waiting for him, he'll take a bump in the air, quickly adjust, and still make the basket, usually with no foul called. The animation transition from a clear layup to contested layup is so smooth though, it looks very real and, well, Lebron-like. Last year, and years before, this "change shot" animation would be incredibly clunky and often unnatural, basically reminding the player they're still "playing a videogame".

Other than that, 2k12's vast improvement to 11's solid post game makes me salivate at the thought dumping the ball down low to Hakeem Olajuwon or Shaquille O'Neal (circa 1995) and completely wrecking shop.

Come October 4th, basketball heaven will be residing in my 360 console.

CAN'T WAIT!!

I must admit this demo is pretty sweet. Ive been playing it no stop since i DL'd it. I just had a WOW moment when I took a corner 3 with Rudy F just as time expired. they went for a review and the ref walked over to the scorers table...walked back towards the court..pointing his finger down..

Baskets GOOD.
