The game comes out in early October!
We've played it already, and it felt FANTASTIC and like an AMAZING game

The demo was released this morning for XBox360 (and PS3 later today). It's completely bare bones: two teams (Heat vs. Mavs), user must use the Mavs, one 4-minute quarter, no announcers. [i]However[/i], the pre-game presentation is pretty darn legit (and unique).
After the jump ball, it'll look an awful lot like 2K11. But even though it's just a demo, the game itself sort of has that feel of one of those classic albums that sort of unravels its greatness to you over time. It doesn't hit a lot of people in the face right away with a "catchy chorus" so to speak. And it definitely didn't give me a "WOW" type of feeling immediately. But as I continue to play (three quarters thus far) more and more changes begin to become apparent and I become more and more impressed.
For starters, the AI is much more unique in the moves they're willing to pull off. LeBron and Wade play much more aggressively with much deeper access to the game's moves arsenal. The post-game and ballhandling seems to have quadrupled with options and combo possibilities. Even things like off-ball light deny defense (utilizing the right stick) feel great.
Here is a video of a user going nuts with Dirk Nowitzki in the demo. One of my criticisms is some of the post animation combos yield awkward transitions and/or feet movement. However, still looking pretty cool: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnT6kdRYj4c&feature=player_embedded[/url]

Full Demo Quarter (Intro included): [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARG-O0g_sr4&feature=player_embedded#[/url]!
Played the demo and I'm really impressed with the minor improvements (and major post changes). I just had one huge problem, the 2nd time I played (1 quarter isn't enough!) for some reason after a defensive 3 second Dirk went to the line and I couldn't shoot a FT. He just stood their in the motion and I couldn't do anything besides restart the game.
Three huge improvements I rly noticed in the demo:
1. The players' weights are much improved.
2. Post game re-done
3. CPU intelligence is way more realistic (I was amazed how the offense was identical to the HEAT's in real life)
I can't wait for this actual game. Those My player improvements will make this game near perfect. I also feel like that legend mode (with a current NBA player) will be amazing. Also anyone else notice the new warm ups? I guess those are the new warm ups for this year, considering that its usually accurate with those things.
When is it out?

Dude glad you are impressed. Wait till you see all the improvements in the full version of game. You've been in the 2K12 thread so I'm sure you know there have been literally hundreds, maybe thousands of improvements. Going to be so amazing.. BTW PS3 demo still isn't out :( . Let me know if you PS3 guys see the demo up.
I like the improved charge animations and how they let you slide a lot more.
All of them are too high. 2k has a tendency to overrate players like crazy. If Jordan is a 99, then players like Kareem and 2001 Shaq should be 98/99, with Bird/Wilt being 97. That would make players like 2009 LeBron 97, meaning current LeBron would be 94 or 95 max now. It would also mean current Kobe is closer to 91 and current Wade also at 94 or 95 like LeBron.
*Chair umpire leans into mic*
Game, Pegasus
*Crowd applauds*
98 seems a lil to high. There must be a catch to it like he can only be a 98 for like 3 quarters in order to substain that level. Pretty much useless after the 3rd:lol

You'd think doing the same thing over and over gets boring........but nope, not when it comes to hating on the best SF in the league. AMIRITE, kaiiu?

:wtf: when have I ever hated on Duran tor Melo
[QUOTE=pegasus]I heard that the game is designed in a way that Lebron automatically comes out of games before fourth quarters.
But don't worry, I've already got the cheat code to stop it, which is pauksuckslebronsdick. But even then he doesn't take any shots and the ball literally turns into a potato with smoke coming out of it whenever Lebron touches it.[/QUOTE]
:rolleyes:
1. Kobe fan buys the game
2. Kobe fan launches the game and compares Lebrons & Kobes ratings
3. Kobe fan says "fak this ***!!!!#"#"#((=#)%(!!!"
4. Kobe fan edits Kobes rating to 99 and drops Lebron to 1
5. Kobe fan with big smile

Why the hell is Chris Bosh an 80?
:wtf: CP3 and Dwight at 93? Both should be 95. Kobe should have a rating of 91-92. He is not even top 5.

I mean if Chris Bosh is an 80, wth is Carlos Boozer's rating a 74?
Clearly they had LeBron confused with Brian Scalabrine.
98 in the first 3 quarters, 56 in the 4th quarter and the finals for LeBron.
[QUOTE=RRR3]Clearly they had LeBron confused with Brian Scalabrine.[/QUOTE]
:no: Scal is like Chuck Norris, his abilities are far too great to be quantified, especially by a single number.
[QUOTE=ballup]:no: Scal is like Chuck Norris, his abilities are far too great to be quantified, especially by a single number.[/QUOTE]
True. Some Scal facts:
*Brian Scalabrine knows that there ARE four pointers. For the well-being of the NBA, he didn't tell this to Antoine Walker.
*Brian Scalabrine shoots his free throws from half court.
*Brian Scalabrine can dunk on both hoops simultaneously.
*Brian Scalabrine has a 44 foot vertical.
*Brian Scalabrine has had sex with every woman who ever existed.

Yep. They failed us once again.

Yep, with your mother .. twice !
Fourth quarter hurr durr.
Kobe's game isn't built on all-around. He should be scoring.
Wait, now we can play different NBA players in my player mode?? SWEETTTTT
perfect ratings, but i would put kobe at like 87, old as dirt now
[QUOTE=RRR3]True. Some Scal facts:
*Brian Scalabrine is a champion. LeBron is not.[/QUOTE]:cheers:
I know this is not Lebron Finals rating! lol
Damn I can't wait to play that becoming a legend mode (like the one thats shown in the Kobe pic).
[QUOTE=RRR3]
*Brian Scalabrine has had sex with every woman who ever existed.[/QUOTE]
Also:
*Brian Scalabrine displays his alpha male status once a week by randomly selecting one NBA player to have sex with. Brian Scalabrine is not gay, but likes to show 'em who's top dog (excuse the pun).
What was prime Kobe's rating in 2k series?
I think its quite right..Lebron's rebounding,passing and athletism must give him higher points.
Anyway, it doesn't mean easier to play with.Signature moves and stuff like that is important as well. Also how you like prefer to play.
We must see[B] Lebron's post move rating[/B] for fair judgement.
[QUOTE=L.Kizzle]I mean if Chris Bosh is an 80, wth is Carlos Boozer's rating a 74?[/QUOTE]
I saw a video with everybody's ratings (can't seem to find it right now) and I think Boozer was a 77. They seem to have made almost everybody worse, even young players who are only going to improve like Blake and Curry. They really ****ed up some ratings too. Drew Gooden has like 91 Shot Medium. :wtf: And Kobe's Shot Medium was in the 70's.
overall rating that takes into account vertical, athletcism, strength, speed etc. So without a doubt Lebron has to have the highest rating. Which makes even more pathetic that a gifted 98 player can't even get one ring.
implying ratings matter
all about who has the easier shot
but
if we assume 98 is best player in nba, where would bron/kobe/rank? how off are the t10 rankingsin the game?

You can't see their overall ratings but that doesn't really matter, u can still see the order of the top 10.
Lol @ Lebron having a better midrange jumper rating than Kobe and Durant.
1. VIDEO GAME FORUM. Use it guys, it's a nice place.
2. Overall ratings don't mean jack, for ANY player. You need to look at the specific categories and their ratings.
f*ck the ratings i will edit griffin 95
The ratings are just an average of all his stats. That's why Dirk (and to an extent Bosh) have such low rankings, they have really good parts of their games but they have a few categories like steals, blocks, athleticism/vertical, speed, etc that aren't that high so it really brings down their average. Where as LeBron has every stat high so his average is extremely high.
