You are right,but watching some pics I've seen some shoes with 4 different colors, maybe that means a team color 3 available (or dreaming, a customizable one) to be able to make those color combinations. Let's see if 2K has also worked on this issue.

cool story bro

joking aside I see what Nodima is saying and the only example I can use is the post up by Blake against Pierce and he spun to Garnett without effecting the dribble...

other than that, who ever was playing really didn't run into a crowded area to show an example of losing the ball...

Bro, it might have something to do with the difficulty and sliders as well. Judging by the users skill level sliders were most likely on casual and difficulty not higher then pro, maybe even on rookie. Same goes to the people complaining about AI inteligence, we just don't know what was the difficulty of the game here.

really? Whenever I played the Knicks after a roster update the headbands would either white, orange or blue...

From the impressions, that I have read, this where this game suppose to shine. From this video I can see both teams just feeling each other out.

There's a difference between the "right" decision and what the AI was doing.

I agree this is a small sample - but a small sample is all anyone can go off of. I know the game will shine head to head but the AI is what is being touted and it really didn't look that far off from 2k11.

Of course - as always I will reserve judgment. Again - just speaking on what has been touted so far of the AI.

It was most likely on Pro. No one changes it from the default when they first play - I've seen if first hand.

And the difficulty isn't going to matter unless 2k has changed their philosophy on user difficulty. Higher has always been HARDER, meaning more difficult. Not smarter.

The sequence from 5:45 to 5:55 is just amazing.

They just fixed headbands,but they didn't with the rest of accessories. The only way they could do it properly (Boston white @ home/black away) was fixing/updating team colors, but they never did it.

i'm liking the way dornas change electronically

Again - unless they've approached this differently than in years past, it won't. It will just make it "harder" for the "guy that can score 150 points per game, e-z."

With the right settings much of what you saw was possible in 2k11. Either way - I know it will be an evolution as opposed to a revolution but everything I've read pointed to the latter.

P might be a little can't see the forest for the trees. Not that your wrong in your assessment at all. You just may be focusing on one thing and missing another. But it's short vid nevertheless what you mentioned is true !

Also I wasn't wowed by that video myself for the record.

Well it was Ronnie playing I believe, so it's hardly a first game.

I must say I loved what I've seen here. There was no turbo boost when the players were rolling of the picks, and the rolls looked like they could be defended as everything else. This was my biggest gripe with 2k11 and I'm happy to see it's been improved since P&R is trully the bread and butter of bball.

# 113 miller31time @ 09/15/11 11:46 AM

Nice video, overall. The game looks a lot smoother and the animation overhaul was instantly noticeable.

Pet peeve - why did they remove Eric Gordon's sig jumper and give him one of the defaults? That makes absolutely no sense to me considering his sig jumper last year was great.

Unless it was played head to head on two different systems, this was one player (Celtics) against the CPU controlled Clippers.

Aside from the great playbook the Clippers, I expected a more organic representation from the AI. That's all.

Yup, this was obvious by the icons under the players.

But yeh, I feel you. I might be a lot more forgiving on that since I spend most of my playing time with 2k online.

# 116 blues rocker @ 09/15/11 11:51 AM

vid looked good to me...

just a few minor issues...some passes should've been tipped/deflected and it seemed a little too easy to get difficult shots off in the paint without contact...but i think a lot of that was probably because this is on an easier difficulty setting.

rebounding looked really good.

biggest difference is how much faster and more explosive quick guards are with the ball...crossovers, and directional changes are faster than 2k11, as they should be. overall, most of the movements are noticeably quicker and not as sluggish.

the game looks great in this vid, but i'm not too optimistic about how it will compare on my ps3.

# 117 Jukes @ 09/15/11 11:53 AM

I was patiently waiting for a Blake dunk. He could of had one instead of the lefty layup towards the end. :..(

I want it to go on record I did see a lot of what was changed with the Clippers, including plays. But man - not a good early video to show off the changes.

Guys are in love with the presentation and other little things (and they should be) but I'm looking a bit deeper than that.

As str8 mentioned, small sample size. I KNOW the game will be solid - just came away underwhelmed.

Not trying to down anyone elses' experience - just sharing my own.

The game will be amazing head to head - no doubt.

not sure how true that is. i found the CPU to be more aware on higher difficulties and on sim mode.
