hey guys whats up loving what im seeing from your feedback about the demo ...i have ps3 so i havent played it yet but u know what 2k should have added to this demo ....is the practice gym , i think that with the one qtr of play would have been perfect since the controls are a bit diffrent this year .

Gameplay feels very smooth, not liking all the gold borders. Having a hell of a time trying to get into the demo with this camera though, never understood how people got so good with this camera. I like 2k or high myself, matter of personal preference though.

Screens and picks are more effective, I just can't get players to set them. I like the way players react to the ball on offense, moving to get open and creating space. Double-teams by the CPU are good, I scored 6 points and dished out 3 assists with LeBron, next possession I had, they swarmed LeBron as soon as he touched the ball. It seem the CPU will call off doubles when other players start to make them pay.

Haha, OKC wasn't feelin' Miami's starting lineup either.

Just get Battier fouled out so Haslem can come in.

Didn't see it asked, it's minor, but can you immediatley restart a new game when the last one ends or do you gotta go back through the menus and all that again?

# 328 RawCITY @ 09/25/12 01:53 PM

whats up with the dark patches of wood on the bottom of the heat court??? seriously 2k needs to fire their graphics crew.

# 329 aerohitman @ 09/25/12 01:55 PM

I'm in the same boat, isn't there a way to get a free month of gold free somehow? I remember reading about some trick that you can do once...I might just buy a month for 10 bucks just to play this for a week...

Love what I am reading

I think you still get a free month of Gold for creating a new XBL account.

That Lebron Dunk you did was just nasty.

# 336 vtcrb @ 09/25/12 02:02 PM

I apologize IF I missed this in the thread, but it has gotten Massive. Did anyone Notice IF there are any New Attributes, Abilities or Tendencies. Or if they had removed any. Thanks in advance for any responses.

# 337 dom5552 @ 09/25/12 02:03 PM

My last concern is not huge but just a small detail. The placement of lebron's headband is way too low. His hairline would be showing if it were that low

WHY was there not a collision with Bosh?!?!?!?!?!?

# 339 Thelorn @ 09/25/12 02:04 PM

For those asking about free gold, each xbox console gets 3 accounts that can be created on it with 30 free days of gold each. Microsoft may have changed it, but I doubt it.

# 340 KyotoCarl @ 09/25/12 02:07 PM

I figured out how to get the demo in Sweden:

It didn't show up on the marketplace on the 360 but I found it on the Swedish marketplace on the internet and was able to add it to my download cue from there. A bit strange but hey, I be ballin' in a few minutes!
