Every preview has had a certain vibe about it. Wether you played the hell out of 2k11 or barely touched it guys are all saying the same thing. It's a difference that becomes more noticeable the more you play it. Very nuanced. Very layered. There is probably no one outside of 2k that has played the game as much as I have. Still impressive and nothing else in my collection effects me like 2k12 did. It's not perfect but it doesn't have to be. It's deep and it Fun ! I'm talking fist pumping in a room alone fun. LOL. I am very interested to see what the issues of this game will be becuase what is good is really really good. I think hearing about the playcalling will give you another glimpse into what a special game 2k12 is.

Well, I'm looking forward to your in-depth preview of the game. And no disrespect to jr2424, I thought his was very informative and not just fluff stuff about the game. And him taking time to answer questions also helps as well.

Thanks but I think everyone has pretty much covered all the allowable bases. I expect Chase to deliver an outstanding preview here soon. One benefit is I get to see the game but since I get to see the whole game I am not allowed to break any news or write to much of anything early. Once they announce more of the gameplay stuff I want to talk about I will share my thoughts a bit more.

Saw in Twitter that 2k is taking a vote on what feature to release info on next week. So if you guys want to see My Player info (I know I do), I suggest to get to voting

You sir are holding this game up to a standard most have failed at by a long shot

I just want to thank czar and jr for giving me lots of good reading material to get me thru my ho hum day at the office. Was just telling my guy how tired I was of reading reviews that are prefaced with....I don't play NBA but.... I'm not a ball fan but..... Finally 2k heads talking 2k! Thanks again gentlemen !

Since you used the Warriors i have a few questions.
Did Dorell Wright get an update with his new tatoos and hair(no designs)
Does Stephen Curry have a new sig shot?
Does Monta actually feel explosive as he is in real life using him?
Does David Lee have his chin hair?
Is the Warriors court gold instead of the bright yellow they had in 2k11?
Is playing with a fast team like GSW finally as fun and has advantages on the fastbreak like in real life?
Would appreciate it if you could answer these!

Thanks for posting all this info jr2424. Looking forward to Oct. 4th. Reading that they cut the amount of plays from 1000 to 400 has me a little worried about depths of playbooks. I will have to see how the plays are executed in game. Hope they execute play calls faster.

Jr i want to know how powerful was the lead passing? Was it overpowered like in years past where you could actually change a players direction, or does the ball being "loose" mean it can be overthrown and such?
