NBA 2K12 Video - First Gameplay Video (Gamescom)

I just pray when the game drop's that the default settings is on SIM......please 2k make it happen

Dirk's new shot looks GREAT...spot on.

Butler's pull up J looks...like a pull up J. None of that ice skating BS from 2k11 when trying to take a pull J.

New full court sprint/walk up dribble animations are welcome.

Other than that...the drive and kick game/spacing and rotations look very improved. When dirk posts up, it isn't a simple one guy helps out and then somehow magically recovers back to his man from 2k11...

Instead, one guy helps, and another guy has to cover the helper's man, leaving a wide open butler, followed by a close out.

@Above poster: Are talking about online or offline? You can change it yourself in about 5 seconds offline regardless. If you mean offline, I hope so too, and it likely will be...since it was last year.

i still want em, but i definitely don't want them all to be live. that'd be a disaster lol

in typical 2k fashion, they kept what works and touched up the areas that could be improved, and since there wasn't a lot in 2k11 that needed to be improved, the game is going to look and feel very similar...which is the RIGHT strategy. you don't make the greatest basketball game of all time (in 2k11) and then just scrap it all and release a completely different game the next year....there's a reason 2k11 was so great - they'd be stupid to mess with something that works...you don't want to be like EA and drastically change your game each year in hopes of distracting people with "new" gameplay. you will just end up with a half-baked game each year and you'll never make progress.

2k never disappoints me. they are just smart. they know what works and any changes they make are almost always for the better. what impresses me most about 2k is their restraint...their ability to leave something alone when it works and to avoid changing things that don't need to be changed.

from looking at the video, the 2k12 gameplay is exactly what it should be...2k11 with smoother animations, smarter contextual animations, smarter contextual bumping, and slightly better control. that's all it can be and that's all it should be.

biggest positive is that looks like gameplay improving didn't get that much emphasis on 2K12 as it did last year, so probably we gonna see much, much better franchise and my player modes. at least I ****ing hope so!

if he doesn't want a game that looks the same, that's on him. doesn't necessarily make him wrong.


hate when people try to correct the next person's priorities. he's spending his $60 just like everybody else.
