So far, I haven't seen one thing that hasn't been forwarded to the Dev's in past weeks re: the demo and requested fixes/tweaks.

The controls will take a little getting used to but the gameplay is smooth. I don't hate the controls really. I think they'll grow on me

No ps3 online games yet

The gameplay is phenomenal. I love the enhancements.

The graphics, on the other hand, are a different story. This area has taken a significant step backwards in my opinion.

What difficulty is this? All star?

# 546 bmgoff11 @ 09/25/12 06:50 PM

not seeing much of a difference as far as gameplay, did some nice things though. should be a good game though but not ground breaking or anything.

Ok, lets just say it is alittle different holding the LT to use shot stick, however it is something like alot of people said I can work around, depending on the situation I find myself using both the button and stick just depends on what type of shot I take... whoever wrote that the graphics look like 2k12 should look again, the graphics are more defined and crisp and a bit more tighter than last year .. the Dev video did not lie when they talked about detail on fingers with shooting and dunking, I thought they did good job last yr with that but it is more defined, the players do help more on defence, also they do a good job of filling lanes and cutting to the basket .. it is a pretty real game experience .. would like to check out other teams though .. have thrown a few alley opps that were nice .. I do like the the more TV style presentation over the one that they have this yr .. seems al ittle to AND 1nish meaning over the top a little, tracks are nice though and I really like the opening showing Miami .. really liked that in 2k12 hope they do that more this yr. overall though great gameplay once ou get used to it took me bout a hr

Tried the ps3 demo but it just searches online with no connect to anyone.

# 553 Biagas @ 09/25/12 06:54 PM

I had to foul thabo out the game to see if they fixed harden shooting lol

# 554 TheSituation @ 09/25/12 06:54 PM

I crossed over Dwyane Wade so hard with Westbrook, he fell and he didn't get up for about 3-4 seconds.

I'm liking the demo thusfar.

# 555 Altimus @ 09/25/12 06:56 PM

Wow... I am in basketball heaven and it's only the demo.

Same here lol back to the 360 version for me.

# 557 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 09/25/12 06:57 PM

took my 360 15 min to download. Its been over an hr and my ps3 is at 45% wtf

# 558 phant030 @ 09/25/12 06:58 PM

Could just be the demo atmosphere. The game looks good and animates well. But, something is off...there is an elongated model, exaggerated animation look/feel to it..not necessarily arcadey...but it's not 'real' looking. I can't put my finger on it.

# 559 Biagas @ 09/25/12 06:59 PM

The blocking is so much better. Ibaka actually finds the ball instead of swatting the air or not doing what i want him to do. I think this is gonna be a good game.
