Are you serious, first this is not the final build, second last year superstars did not play true to like, I have seen Lebron and Wade do things that I have never seen before, they got me a few time with the head fakes (seriously how do you do that?) player models are a huge improvement, but that is just my opinion but I am usually right, lol.

I am satisfied with the gameplay improvements and the overall smoothness of the game, but dissatisfied with the graphics. I am playing on PS3, and am strongly considering picking up a used 360. If anyone has played the demo on both consoles, I'd love to know if there's that much of a difference graphically. Since 2K uses 360 builds for its trailers and gameplay videos, we can infer that this game simply looks better on Xbox. My question is how much.

Blake is going to be CRAZY

the post game is incredible

defense is much improved

Lebron has been cookin me because Im not use to the pump fakes (greatness)

The spacing is much much better... still could be a tad bigger court wise... but thats just from a point guards point of view

Iso motion is beautiful

Shooting is the leaps n bounds better than last year

my gripes:

Too easy for me since I play on HOF (its a demo tho I expected it)

2 weeks until release date


For me, its perfect... its the balance Ive been asking for and Im happy with that... if I want it realer than this I'll go to the gym...

keep improving on it of course but Im just sayin... wow

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.

not everything is ported, the usually work on the PS3 version after the 360, I remember in the demo last year fisher had a full beard and in the retail version he did not, so we just have to wait and see how the final product looks, on court it is the best I have seen.

I guess that would be my biggest complaint for 2K12, banking is a challenge for us whom don't have stick-skills ... That's bothering me because I adored banking in 2K11

I always piss my friends when I bank in 3 pointers

What im saying is that a shoulder fake which looks a shimmy is done with a live dribble
