I think Sage pretty much summed it up..

My biggest pet peeve is how the passing, after more than 10 years of 2K basketball, is still slow and floaty. Shouldn't Jason Kidd be zipping passes around the court? Beach ball passing, sadly, is still the norm in 2K12.

I agree with him. Passing is off, it feels like the ball has no weight and floats in the air.

I think the demo showcases a lot more than it's given credit for. I see highly noticeable improvements over 2K11 and not to mention. . . the demo is a "stripped" down build. I think the retailed version will be well worth the investment. Nice write up guys.

Weird roundtable, only one guy actually plays the 2k series.

I don't know if too many people played 2k11 as much as I have this year, and I don't know if too many people played the demo as much as me. I have gotten it in on both. So that's why I can't understand Why this demo feels like 2k11 to people.

No need to point out differences but for those who played the later builds, I can't argue with you, but I strongly disagree with this round table as a whole.

A lot of people are complaining about the demo, but the demo is just merely there to demonstrate some of the improvements of the game. It's not intended to surrender everything that the product, in this case the game, has imporved on. It also is leaving the customer with a little bit of a eager factor. I was tweeting with this guy and he told me that he couldn't even play the demo after he downloaded it because the final build is so much better. If thats the case this game is going to be bananas because the demo is nice. Yo the game is going to be rediculous, bottom line!!

Yea I couldn't disagree more with what Jason had to say on this. Though he is in tiled to his opinion and I respect that.

I still think passing is a "minor" flaw in this game. Bounce passes, and wing to wing skip passes still need work. Though I wouldn't agree with the term "floaty" at all! The ball shouldn't move at 100mph like it's been in past basketball titles. In fact the game has improved on that aspect a lot, when facing the CPU I thought the ball movement from the Heat was very tactical and impressive at times.

Fundamentals???? Name a sports title besides MLB The Show that's ever done it better than 2k11 or this game? ....NFL 2k5??? 2k's attention to detail/fundamentals is what separates them from everyone else.

I noticed that players jumping ability has been taken down significantly in which has made it even more realistic.

2k11 was the Paul Pierce(The TRUTH) of video games last year. Look for that same trend to continue ....

Jayson Young: "NBA 2K12 seems to focus too much on the flash and glamour of basketball and not enough on the sport's fundamentals."

wtf

i think there's no 1 other sport game that is more fundamentals-oriented than 2k12.. from the players side to the coaching side...

Except 2k's demos don't do that, 2k's demo don't do the full retail version justice, if I didn't check this site out or read any of the insights I would be disappointed in 2k based off the demo. Like I know someone who was complaining about it, like the demo brought in doubt i whether they should make the purpose.
