If you want the most current updates, just head over to Steve's and Dustin's Twitter pages.

Here's a stream of their thoughts thus far:

SteveOS - While we didn't get as much hands-on time as we wanted with #NBA2K12 the changes in gameplay are easily noticed. Help defense is HUGE!

DustinToms_OS - Crowd reaction in #NBA2K12 is improved. Fans in front row react to loose balls, corner treys, etc.

SteveOS - The #NBA2K12 intros are simply put, amazing work. EVERY one of them I saw was different. Not the same thing, didn't wanna skip any of em.

DustinToms_OS - #NBA2K12 Graphical overlays in Greatest mode keep true to the different eras. Had an old school NBA on NBC feeling.

DustinToms_OS - #NBA2K12 Legends use rules from the different eras. e.g. Lakers/Celts has no 3-point line.

SteveOS - #NBA2K12 player faces are much improved. They touched up some of them that were already good, as well. Good to see Granger got a facelift.

SteveOS - #NBA2K12 continued... Depending on player, there are different crossovers. Quicker guys have better handles, while the bigger guys are slow.

DustinToms_OS - @Bluengold34 Easily. I couldn't really believe how much it has improved over 2K11.

SteveOS - #NBA2K12 crossovers are more compact this year, just moves more cleaner. In fact, all animations are more crisp. Looks more realistic.

SteveOS - In limited time today with #NBA2K12 I don't want to play 2k11 anymore. Post game, help defense and no forced anims Q&A tomorrow, send Q's

You beat me to posting this LOL. I love how he saved the original message tape. If they managed to work that song into the game I'll be speechless.

Dustin's Twitter

"Just threw a standing alley-oop. #NBA2K12"

Steve's twitter

"Branching out of different moves in #NBA2K12 is amazing to watch. The new moves will require time in training camp. Practice practice. #AI"

"For those asking, the #NBA2K12 demo has not been announced. But we should have exclusive video this week."

Dustin Toms also said yesterday on Twitter that he saw an alley oop of the glass to yourself done. He said Rob Jones did it.

If its user controlled I would love to know if we can do this

EA did it in Live 2005 and it wasnt a cheese tactic because everything had to be right, how you line up with the ball, timing, no one blocking your path, etc...

I have no doubts 2k can do this...been asking for awhile now too
