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

[jolson88]

Okay, even though I've never really played a basketball video game before (well, I played a little of college hoops 2k8 but not much), I'm genuinely surprised how easy these controls are to grasp. After playing this demo several times, I immediately went out and preordered the game.

Believe it or not, it will be the first 2k Sports pro game that I will have ever owned! So excited about October 4th. That day can't come soon enough.

I honestly don't know how anyone can keep Miami scoreless in this demo. Guarding LeBron and Wade is soooo hard and Bosh is a beast in the post.

question: still easy to block shots with turbo?

I'm on PS3 and I've seen it, but it's broken.

Before a game I see the clips/stills or whatever of lebron, a cheerleader, dirk and a mascot all doin thier thing as stats flash across the screen. BUT...

another time before the game it's just the stats flashing on the screen with one side of the court in the background. Then the digital version of dirk appears on the floor for 2 seconds then the digital version of terry appears on the court for 2 seconds and he is doing his "jet" run.

Really wierd...a total glitch.

I've also noticed the pre-game bug so I know exactly what you're talking about but I was talking about the little Pop-up that occurs during the first whistle of the game(foul, out of bounds, etc.). On the 360 Lebron and Dirk walk out and interact but on the PS3 Lebron and Dirk are missing.

Dude, dustin is an OS editor and da_czar is...... well he's Da_Czar! Both were invited to 2k to play a near final build of the game (demo build is from august IIRC). Listen and believe their words

2k12 = 2k11 + new post game + smoother gameplay + better player models - cheeser moves

Yeah, I noticed that. You're the only one I've seen mention it so far. I was slightly late with Fernandez and it gave me a 0% and he missed badly off the front rim. It's gotta be a bug, right?
