Lol where are the cheesers? I've played 3 games so far and all have been against decent players. Online works pretty well as I was playing Americans without any lag. I guess they where americans seeing their nicknames.

I hate the new passing. I keep accidentally fake passing. Game feels heavier and momentum seems to matter more. Not sure how I feel about the new controls yet.

Love the CPU defense though. They are constantly shading you to one direction, applying pressure and trapping.

Lebron gets the steal. He goes up for the..... He runs out of bounds....

Basic controls.

# 86 Vni @ 09/25/12 09:53 AM

Online is where it's at this year.

But I see that when one player make changes (Well the guy was looking at the controls in this case) the other one still has to wait doing nothing. Come on 2K it's 2012.

I need a control list too. I really suck.

Love how westbrook explodes for layups. Looks awesome.

# 91 BobbyColtrane @ 09/25/12 10:04 AM

I hate when this game comes out every year because it completely submarines any chance i have to play anything else.

Poor Bosh with only 1, Heat fans will be grabbing their pitchforks over that one. At least he is better than Lewis in that regard though.

Thanks for posting these.

# 94 erickonasis @ 09/25/12 10:09 AM

Please tell me you can switch back to 2k12 controls in the full game

Haslem as a defensive anchor had me scratching my head

# 96 mymannemcee @ 09/25/12 10:10 AM

Played about eight games online so far. Six wins, one by almost 15 points...one
loss, one tie.

This defense is GREAT.

# 97 lv2bll @ 09/25/12 10:15 AM

People need to give the controls a chance

Anyone else having difficulty getting their players to set picks when calling for them? I've tried holding LB and pressing it and it only seems to work about 40% of the time. The other 60% they'll just ignore me.

# 100 iLLosophy @ 09/25/12 10:18 AM

Ibaka looks a little....rough...lol
