NBA 2K12 Hands-On Preview (Part Two)

[krakdol]

No D League anymore this year

I can't understand why they REMOVE features... I mean if it was there, why the hell do you want to take it out ? Same thing for Draft Combine...

Hey Steve,

Do defenders do a better job of getting around screens when chasing shooters?

[Bulls321974]

Steve Kerr is a great addition! He is not overacting when commentating. That's why i think he sounds as realistic as a color commentator can sound in a video game. Great job, Steve and 2K!

Can’t talk about shoes, there will be a Developer Insight covering it. Rob Jones is a big shoe head, so it should be filled with information.

Can't wait to hear this one!!!

Excellent job. On the fake pass front, is it possible to continue through a dribble drive after fake passing or does it still stop your movement?

[blues rocker]

cool preview...but weren't we supposed to get the answers to the questions we wrote in that other thread?

Really like these MP improvements.
"The NBA logos can go all around the headband, including the back (no upside down logos, NBA doesn't allow it)

Commentators talk about how your game was in school, how there are scouts looking at all the players at the game. Other players want to be that lotto pick, so you will see players want to get noticed by the scouts.

Some people don't understand what a small foward should do. This year, there is an option that can be turned on or off called, run plays. Players can view dotted lines on the court, instead of running around trying to get open, etc. They can now see where to set the pick, where to shoot and learn the strategy of the game, instead of just running around trying to get open.

Last year, you started at a 38 - 40 player rating and couldn’t hit the broadside of the barn. This year you start in the low 60’s, so players can feel a little more confident with their skill level. Skill points will cost more.

Halftime recap shows things you did good and things you can improve on.

Fans will remember what you say in pre-draft interviews and from the sounds of it, will boo you when you travel to their arenas, if you are not drafted by them.

There are nine drills. The only returning drill is the shooting drill, everything else is new. I didn’t get to see what the other eight drills were.

Over 500 press conference events, specific to what is going on. For example, why didn’t you take the last second shot? Why did u pass it off? This will affect your team chemistry, fan support, etc."

I cant wait to play MP.
