    Think in 20 games no one successfully hit a jumpshot with Thabo, pure comedy.

    Negatives:

    Input delay(online)

    Players not agile enough, especially on defense

    Too many steals(had tons of onball steals or interceptions because of slow passing)

    Too many offensive rebounds(defensive AI really bad at blocking out or positioning for
    rebounds)

    Too much run&gun

    Dribbling bit overpowered, really hard to defend if advanced moves are used in dozens

    Graphics are pretty disappointing

    Positives:

    Amazing animations and physics, collision model is great

    You can feel the weight of the players, contact makes a real difference this year

    Great arsenal of offensive moves/animations

    Blocking seems hugely improved, more variety than ever and tons of animations

    Speed toned down

    AI runs more plays, team mates working off the ball, setting screens and slashing

    CPU opponents playing pretty realistic, varied offense


    ________________

    All in all greatly improved, but have to wait for release and first weeks to see how improved the final build is and how they tweak sliders.

    The shot looks good, just doesn't go down for Fs sake. Also noticed Ibaka is pretty bad from midrange, hope they improve that.

    So....is the control stick a good or bad addition? Does it feel natural?

    Good addition but doesn't feel as natural as I expected, moves seem to pre-determined, especially the spins. Can be a pain in the azz in many situations because you forget to pull the left trigger to shoot, surely will take time to get used to.

    You can still use X to shoot, correct?

    Yea, but I never do that. Would probably make sense in 2k13.

    apparently they said the ps3 demo is taking a while because they haven't updated their store yet.

    Demo was kinda meh. Might have to get used to this game, but I cant help but to think it feels kinda sluggish. I can tell it's slowed down but just all the movements seem kinda jerky. I hope it's just the demo.

    If you intend on winning....you'll stay FAR away from the Rockets in 2K13

    What? Lin and Martin dynamic scorers, Parsons at the 3 to slam home 'oops, PatPat and Motie to spread the floor. Not to mention Lamb off the bench. If you practice everyones jumpshot you should win some games.

    Kind of a letdown so far but will hold judgement till it comes out.
