It's a DEMO, a stripped down version of the game and your saying just because of that it's worse then nba 2k11 come on man,

Spacing - is pretty good, hated trying to do things in 2k12 with a center trying to do a pick even though I didn't call one. Defense - Sort of the same but hey, not sure. Battier on the 4 maybe a bug, but didn't he play some of that during the playoffs last year?

Battier at the 4 was a lineup that the heat ran in the OKC series, and will run next season most likley.

From what I played (4 or 5 games) I liked it. The new dribble controls work very well and the animations are all real smooth. It is better than 2k12 from what I can tell.
However, unless I'm just not getting it I really like the post game better on 2k12. I also am not really feeling the Jay-Z influence. The presentation was better last year.

Played some 10 games from the demo (PS3). Overall, the game is quite good. However, there are issues here and there, like the AI offensive rebounds cheese. After complaining for a year over this, they still leave it in the game, why so 2k? Hopefully, you can adjust it with sliders, last year even changing the sliders had no effect.

Im curious, did the Heat ever sub in anyone during your play throughs? For whatever reason they never subbed in anyone during the 8 games I played..but the Thunder did every game.

You can sub only if your player picks up two fouls (its automatic, you can't choose the sub), AI team subs normally. Not sure if you turbo someone whether it will be changed due to low stamina.

Im trying to learn the controls but its hard as hell on broadcast camera. And I love the player movement. Teammates cut to the basket and I hit them in stride with a perfect bounce pass... only for them to studder step under the hoop because I forgot to hold LT while taking it up...

Im going to get used to them though..

I would be glad if someone can tell me where I can download demo for xbox 360? I don't have Gold for xbox so I woud like to download game to a dvd and try. thank you very much!

# 836 SavoyPrime @ 09/26/12 08:11 AM

Anybody know if this demo is based off the final build? I know with most games, demos are worked on before the final build is done.

# 837 BlakkMajik3000 @ 09/26/12 08:16 AM

Played the demo a couple of times last night. Would have played more, but I need my 2K cam. It is just a must for me (pretty much have only used that view since NBA 2K on the Dreamcast).

With that said, this game feels...right. I don't know how else to say it.

I am definitely ready for the full version.

360 version? Yeah it's kind of dark and I have my tv set to vibrant....

PS3 version looks more livelier to me...

Only Gold members can get the demo now. Silver members won't be able to get it until release day.

And I'm not 100% sure, but your "request" is probably not appropriate for this forum.

# 840 DBMcGee3 @ 09/26/12 08:35 AM

Took me a game or two to figure out that the dribble stick is camera sensitive. No wonder I've been thinking it was laggy, I'm pressing the wrong frickin directions. I'm assuming this can be set on absolute in the full game but if not.....Houston, we have a problem.
