Just hit an amazing transition three with Butler right as time ran out. I thought for sure it wouldn't count because it looked like it was clearly late but the ref reviewed it and said it count. Imagine how great the feature will be in a real game when the game is actually on the line.

Im probably the minority but the demo didnt give me enough to really enjoy it at all. Im sure the game will be amazing its just didnt really get anything from it. I saw peeks of things that were good just wish you could switch teams

I think the demo was too short. I've been out of the game so long, that I think I need a 12-minute quarter to tutor myself to get back on track. It should go without saying, but yes having a demo is still appreciated.

I just need more time to start to gain confidence and get excited about the game. Having to reload every 5 minutes is annoying.

Anyone else spend time practicing Dirk's jumper? I think I just about have it mastered now, especially Dirk's one legged fade. One things for sure, Dirk will be virtually unguardable in the final game. Just like in real life.

Ha, neat, I thought they only had this little cutscene when the basket was good, but I just tried to score a buzzer beater with Rudy and the ref said it was no good after reviewing the play.

Haven't had any buzzer beaters reviewed yet. Looks like I'll need to take a few more.

has anyone been able to block lebrons 3 pointers? i swear i have been in perfect position a number of times mashing the button, knowing hes gonna shoot and my player just sticks to the floor and lifts his hand. smh

Hey, I would like to apologize to 2k and 2k fans on my my comment on NBA 2k12 demo that i hated it. But after playing the demo over and over again i found myself enjoying it. And then when i played NBA 2k11 for my last time i actually quit the game in 20 secs playing in the 1st. If the demo plays better than 2k11 imagine the RETAIL

On my career, I averaged 5 turnovers per game with my pg(with 15 assists per game), so clearly I'm a great PG, but the passing delay messes me up from time to time. Other than that, I looooove the demo, I can't wait for the game to come out!!!!!

That delay was removed a few days after the demo finaled and will not be in the retail product. -RJ

It is there... we just ran out of time to implement the text string.

# 974 bakesalee @ 09/21/11 09:25 PM

Beluba, will we be able to call for a pick to free yourself up while controlling an "offball" offensive player?

yeah you can. 2k7 after sliders/adjustments played a great sim game... still does. And guess what? when I imput something on my controller, it happens.

# 976 wrestlinggod1 @ 09/21/11 09:27 PM

The only big problem I have is how much the CPU takes and makes shots off the glass. They did it a lot last year too. But hopefully this year, they can be fixed by adjusting the players' tendencies.

Not just you. I've noticed it as well. I'm hoping it's just a demo thing though.

Are you saying the contested shots where they fall down after the shot is taken out?..If so Beluba can you elaborate on this?.

You're talking as if you're playing 2K12 through a hacked NES emulator, and everytime you push a button on your controller, the emulator sends a signal to a satellite, which is redirected to the 2K headquarters, back to the satellite and then to your emulator before you finally saw something happen on your screen.

That video was kind of bad. There wasn't even a screen set.
