The game seems to run better on the 360 from what I can tell. It is just a demo though. Just get it on the system you feel more comfortable with. If you like to play online maybe get it on the system where most of you're friends play.

Excellent, thanks! Just tried to do it and wouldn't you know it, the server is currently down for maintenance. Haha, will try later I guess.

Does anyone know if the post-up fadeaway/turnaround jumpshots are shot stick release dependent or just percentage like 2K11?

# 804 chinkiwinki @ 09/21/11 07:15 AM

You can't fade jumper from the opposite direction you running towards now. e.g. run right and fade left for the jumper

Too much player sliding and the animations were not that impressive yet again (at least with this demo build). I'm glad that some of you are enjoying the demo but to me I have not seen any significant improvement to justify dishing out another $65 for essentially just a roster update (but not really since rosters will probably NOT be updated due to the cancellation of the 2011-2012 NBA season). To each their own...but I'm most likely will be sticking to NBA Live 10 yet again.

I stopped reading after "not very fluid".....pure hilarity

WELL after playing the demo I got 4 words for you 2K. Please Take My Money!! =)

ps3 here too, ill add you sometime when 12 is out.

but in a earlier post i said i was hitting all shots and so were they, it was i think 20 - 17, by the end. i would have been able to make it 23 but i messed up shot release

# 808 lindo9595 @ 09/21/11 08:19 AM

The game looks and feels much better then 2k11 but the only thing i really dislike is the push ball ahead of yourself animation. It just doesn't feel or look realistic.

# 809 Dj Tacos @ 09/21/11 08:31 AM

Man, even does this demo come out in Europe on the ps3??? Can't wait!

# 810 bmgoff11 @ 09/21/11 08:47 AM

The game feels nice. I know that people will have to work on defense though the quicker players in the nba will be hard to guard.

# 811 tamakin @ 09/21/11 08:57 AM

When will 2K ever change the crowd or guys behind scorer's table? They look horrible and the same for 3 straight years! The overall graphics have not improved at all. Maybe its time for a new system to come out with better graphic capabilities.

minority? dont let these new users fool you, the majority of the community loved 2k11 right there with you...and its looking like 2k12 is shaping up to be just as good...you know how it is this time of year...people creating accounts to troll etc.

COSIGN.

Cant wait for OCT 4.

HOWEVER, There is no excuse for a one QTR, one TEAM playable demo...period.

# 814 jeebs9 @ 09/21/11 09:35 AM

Just played the demo...And I'm shocked its one player again... How boring?... I don't play the cpu so I'm going to wait until Oct 4.

# 815 Mintsa @ 09/21/11 09:40 AM

Finally got some time with the demo. The graphics on the PS3 really do seem up to par this year with the 360.

Question for other people that played the PS3 demo......When the game starts up and the intro comes on. I dont see the Dirk/LeBron/cheerleader/mascot highlights (montage) like in the videos from the 360 demo ??

I only see the stats pop up and move around the screen and the camera is just set looking down on the court ??

Has anyone else seen this ?? Is this just a PS3 demo thing ?

I don't know what can be your problem, I can see them perfectly.

# 817 The 24th Letter @ 09/21/11 09:53 AM

Just got my first shut out!

14-0 lol

capped by a Jason Kidd strip off Brons leg. 2k11's bumping (even though I didnt feel ot was that bad) has spoiled me.....defense is going to be even more fun than last year. I need to make a video for whoever said there wasnt help D...Chandler is shutting folks down at the rim...

# 818 KyotoCarl @ 09/21/11 09:57 AM

I like how when you're playing off-ball D, if you hold LT and push into the player you're guarding your player will hold out his hand as if he's denying the pass.

This happened to me twice in about 10 plays.
