AI seems much improved. Bosh got me with a pump fake then drew the foul as I bit on it. Very nice.

LeBron plays like himself.. Heck, it's better then seeing the PG take the most shots on the team regardless of which superstar they have (2k11). Player model's haven't been downgraded IMO, Dirk look's better, Bosh looks better, and the animations are better as well. The defense in the paint seems improved too....

Great ball handlers are still falling and losing the ball in the paint. I don't know who's idea that was, but I've been watching, and playing basketball since I can remember, and I've never seen that happen. Demo is great tho, can't wait

Game will have it's flaws and won't be perfect, don't deny every criticisizim.

More impressions:

+ Hands up works really well. Not only being able to move around, but also for just contesting shots in the paint. With TC in the paint I was able to put my hands up and force contact without a foul numerous times and I've also blocked some shots this way. And when coming back on defense, defending the outlet pass to the point guard can work sometimes too.

+ They brought this back from 2k8 I believe, but I threw an oop to Tyson Chandler while he had defenders parked in front of him and he caught the ball and landed with it. If this was last year the pass would've just been thrown away.

+ Aggresively backing down, I've had mixed results from defenders flopping. Sometimes you'll get the call and sometimes they'll get it but it's very balanced.

Ok...thanks. The Ps3 version seems to be missing quite a few details surrounding the court and in the presentation this year. I am glad that the on-court graphics (can actually see lights bounce off the floor) are improved, but there are still too many discrepancies when u add them all up.

Now last year's demo was really ugly and ev'one said it was an early build just wait til the retail drops "blah blah blah" and I bought the retail hoping for the best but it looked EXACTLY like the demo.

I wonder if the retail will be better looking than the demo this year. So far, 2k10 was the best looking version for the PS3 2k series to date, IMO. 2k11 took a step backwards on PS3 graphically, and 2k12 has taken two steps forward (on the court between the lines), but the colors are more washed out than on 2k10.

I almost don't want to admit how much fun the 2k12 demo is b/c there is so much that needs to still be fixed on PS3, but gosh darnit the game is still flat out fun.
