There's also that weird animation pop/glitch when Bogut tries to box out and fight for the rebound.

Forget that, Why was Andres Biedrins in the game?

I like how they show you how many timeouts you have .

After watching the video I have noticed some really good things. The first is the spacing on the court looks more realistic and open. Passing lanes look really good as well in that defenders don't take three steps and they have reached their man. Player models are not as chunky anymore(either that or they made the court bigger) and finally the Slip fade or roll shows feedback when called for. Keep it up 2k! Looking to hear some more good things.

"Chris Bosh... flop"

Kinect: Bosh preparing to flop.

Nobody cares for the PS3 bro.. sorry.

Still not liking the floor spacing on pick-and-rolls. @ 1:35 Butler should slide to the right wing to give more space for the Paul and Griffin PnR.

Aw well, at least it's better than him posting up strong side like in 2K12.

Looks like nice little feature for Kinect users.

# 29 Mr_Riddick @ 09/04/12 10:53 PM

That's because the three reserves on the de facto injured list. They aren't active players until you put them in your rotation. That's how it works in the NBA too

Many teams have them sitting behind or at the end of the bench especially at home games

Lol. I guess we're running twin towers with Bogut?

Biedrins will probably be giving 10-15 as a backup until/unless Ezeli cracks the rotation though.

Gotta disagree about the highlighted statement. Inactive players, injured or not, should be sitting in the bench wearing street clothes/suits.

Anyway, I don't have Kinect but I'll wait for the reviews about this feature before I decide whether to buy Kinect or not.

Sure, this feature is soooo awesome!

As other have pointed out, the gameplay footage included looks like from old ones. I say same version as the one showed in E3.

I have a Kinect and I'll definetly ne playing around with this feature

Wouldn't it be nice if they still had the reserves sitting sideline with suits on cheering there teammates on tho

Yes but thats totally unnecessary to have in a video game. In that case you could argue about all the small details that should be there but aren't.

Yeah, man. I reeeaaallly hope this is fixed for the retail, because the PnR is such a fundamental staple of the NBA that, in 2012, it HAS to be on point. I mean, even Live 10's spacing was pretty much perfect in this regard.

I saw a Kinect at the pawn shop for $60. I might have to pick one up.
