Destructoid has posted their NBA 2K12 hands-on preview.

	The on-the-fly commentators are perhaps the most impressive to date in a sports sim. Not only do they call the game, but they inject history and stories about the players into their commentary. I think the aspect that blew me away the most was when one of the announcers was discussing Shaq's retirement and was interrupted when Ewing threw down a monster jam. Instead of just moving on, he actually went back to the thought and continued the story seamlessly when the action on the court resumed a more natural pace.

You can map the dribble move to the right stick by switching to controller setup Alternate B. I used to play that way before I joined the shot stick revolution.

You can map it but they changed it from previous years. It's not the same once they moved the hesitation to the left trigger. It basically made the dribble stick a waste of time.

That was my set up for years until some idiot at 2k decided to change the trigger operations.

What made it a waste of time is that you could hold the left trigger and turn your dribble stick into the shot stick. That's no longer possible.

that's great that the announcesr finish their thoughts after being interrupted. That was the one thing that I did not like about the coomenatry in 2k. Glad they addressed that.
I can not wait for this game to be released. Man oh Man... 2k

Right, buzzer beater reviews that wasn't new news. It's been said before but I'll say it again, these are previews where journalist were given a limited amount of time with the game. The way these things usually work is there is an embargo on certain information that journalist aren't allowed to reveal because 2k hasn't released it yet. It's about controlling the information. There has already been some confusion over things, like the 2 extra classic teams being a pre-order only thing, turns out it's in every retail copy for a limited time regardless of where you purchase. Some said that once you unlock the classic teams you will only be able to use them in play now mode, again this is not true. Do you think 2k wants a journalist to say something incorrect about gameplay and get people all riled up?

The gameplay info will come when 2k wants, not when you want, not when I want, and not when 100 other guys who posted a comment similar to yours want. At this point all you can do is wait patiently with the rest of us. Posting here is not gonna speed time up so that you can have it your way.
