The game is done and discs are being manufactured by now I'm sure.

Finally remembered how to get Rudy to foul out (I thought pressing the R3 was the new Select, but Select is the new Select, stupid me).

First play with the Jet, crossed up Wade and went to the hoop with impunity for a lay in.

Can't wait to get my hands on D. Rose and CP3.

2K never rests. They are working on NBA 2K13 as we speak and rave over 2K12's demo.

I was pretty skeptic at first, thinking it was all just good business, but now I'm increasingly becoming convinced that they really are trying to make the perfect basketball game and care little for the business aspect. The 2K Games publisher obviously does, but not the devs.

You have to make sure the defender isn't close to you and it should work when you do isomotion from left to right.

Just had an extremely exciting demo game, I was down 10-13 with 20 seconds left and Jason Kidd dishes it off to dirk for a three, it's money. Mario Chalmers comes down the court and before he gets a chance to set up the offense J.Kidd picks his pocket and goes down for an easy layup and were up by 2.

So this time they're smarter and give it to Dwayne wade for the iso and starts puttin all these fancy moves on Rudy and he pulls up for a jumper with 2 seconds left and Jason Kidd comes outta nowhere for an offball block into the stands!

So the heat get it back and they inbound it to Lebron past the three point line and he does a little stepback and drains it before time runs out, unfortunately they reviewed it and they called it good, but nonetheless it was intense.

Needless to say it's going to be a good year for basketball gamers everywhere this year.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this already, but I found a pretty big bug in the demo that I hope isn't in the final version. Chris Bosh was going up for a dunk and I fouled him from behind, knocking the ball out of his hands. The ball hit off the backboard and hit the floor. Two shots at the line for Bosh, right? Nope....they counted the basket and it was an And 1. I really hope this doesn't happen at all in the full version. Anyone else have a problem like this?

Also happened to me. Occurred when I fouled Lebron during a breakaway layup.

The fouled attempt was not counted in my experience, it's just that there was only one FT given.

Lies, you've never seen it happen either. I don't mind players losing the ball, it's the falling down that I don't appreciate. They run in the paint and fall down as if someone hit the in the back of the neck with a bat. Why are you bringing up live ball physics anyway? What did that have to do with what I said?

# 1153 MrBigShot1 @ 09/22/11 09:28 PM

Does anyone else think it's a bit annoying that Dirk always kicks his legs out so far on his J? He does that a lot in real life when shooting threes and spot up jumpers...but not always. It looks unrealistic to face up with Dirk and then take a straight up jump shot with him kicking out so far, he doesn't do that in real life. This was a big problem for Kobe's jumper too last year...

See what I mean at 1:22 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h02m-VjRs90

Probably nit picking a bit, but that's ok...if this is the best complaint I can come up with for 2k12, well, you know the rest.

I just remembered something crazy happened yesterday while I was playing. I went up for a dunk with Dirk and got fouled so the dunk bricked off the rim and flew like 20 ft in the air, came down, bounced off the rim one more time and swished for an And 1.

Whoops my mistake on the quoting. Yeah don't remind me about Dwight, he's gonna be a hassle.

He's never seen it happen because NBA players don't usually drive straight into crowds, they find gaps. I do agree it was a little excessive in 2K11, but it seems fair in 2K12, in that the player I'm controlling only falls when he gets bumped by a big and loses his balance.

Seriously, the ability to drive from the post and do running hooks and stuff is right up Dwight's alley.

not able to get much of a feel other than controls because of how low the difficulty is... but VERY nice to see that the Heat's jersey's & all the black shoes are now actually BLACK instead of gray... that used to seriously tick me off.
