NBA 2K12 News Post

Steve Noah and Dustin Toms are Hands-On NBA 2K12 (via Twitter)

12:36 PM - September 14, 2011 by RaychelSnr

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

I know, when I read it I thought maybe I was reading something wrong. I used to go to the practice gym in Live and really practice getting the timing down. I can't wait to see it be done.

It all sounds awesome like I knew it would, Granger got a facelift nice dude looked like an old man for all the previous 2k's.

MAN! Between the Tweets of Steve, Da_Czar and Toms, you guys are either getting paid BIG TIME money by bringing the hype machine OR NBA 2K12 is really going to be the best simulation sports video game ever.

I hope you guys are right about this game.

Yeah, my bad guys. I read the question wrong. Jones threw off the backboard to another teammate, not himself.

You cannot oop to yourself.

Best sports related music of all-time! Just hearing it makes me feel like a classic game is about to take place.

That means he hasn't hit a game winner at the buzzer so he doesn't know.

Hi, first I want to say great job 2k. I LOVE the addition of the old school classic teams as well as the improvement in My Players. I was curious, has the online servers been improved? As much as I love 2k's crew and team ups, I find myself turning the game off in anger because it's virtually impossible to get a 5 on 5 game and even a 3 on 3 most times. Has this been fixed?

Hey now its time for this generation to grow up on abc/espn games. Things have to change even if we don't accept it. Thats the way it is
