i don't have a problem with the CPU-controlled players doing canned walk up animations, but I don't want the game to force my palyer to do it as I'm controlling him.
Because the hunch walk is a unrealistic animation...

I can't imagine many people on here buying this game to play on the move lol. The best thing I liked about the video happened between 2:54 to around 3:01 or so. Watch that part in detail and you can see they really did improve on the gameplay.

1. Realistic defensive rotation without the feeling that the animations sped up just to get a defender to a location.
2. Fisher doubles Wade in the corner leaving Chalmers open. They don't respect Chalmers lol!
3. Gasol fronts the post realistically. Bosh manages to get in front of Gasol for positioning then receives the pass from Wade. Post play looks to be improved.
4. Notice how Fisher actually was about to rotate down to Bosh in the post as soon as Bosh received the pass, but Bosh passed the ball quickly back out to Chalmers so he goes back to his man Chalmers.
5. When Chalmers was trying to penetrate notice how Gasol left Bosh open to protect the paint from the Chalmers penetration. At the same time Kobe switches off Wade to help out on Bosh who would be open wow. They are helping out the helper on defense. Even Bynum has rotated from Joell Anthony to help out Bryant since Anthony is no threat from the perimeter and Bosh may have a missmatch.
6. Chalmers passes to Wade who drains the three as Fisher had to play two players on the wing had to pick his poison Chalmers or Wade lol.
7. When the ball is in the air from the Wade shot notice how Gasol is boxing out arms extended and everything also Bynum too man!

What I liked about this is I didn't feel like it was up to Kobe the user Kobe lol to do most of the work himself by controlling all the teammates. Because he clearly wasn't doing it with the move controller. The CPU controlled AI on the user seems to be smarter and more realistic. 2K has upped the realism.

The smart defense AI is a much needed tweak. SO MANY TIMES I have to stop my players from going rogue and doubling on someone, not to mention how often I have to quick switch on guys to fix their positioning and fix defensive rotations. I can understand that happening every now and then down the court where you manually have to fix your squad, but every time?
A bit cumbersome, to say the least.

Drewski,

I agree man I really like what I saw out of that because it was realistic. I like that the user didn't have to do all the work. This is in June so I know they are still tweaking things but that gameplay team was watching NBA film and you can tell because these elements to this level were not in 2k11. 4 more months people!

Da_Czar,

They didn't give us much but what they did give us impressed me. Anybody that is a fan of basketball let alone 2K had to really like that sequence. The funny part it was only about 10 seconds or so but they stepped the game up in a realistic way from what I was able to see.
