NBA 2K12 Thread (Jordan, Magic and Bird announced for cover)

[Nimreitz]

My brother-in-law said there were lines of black dudes around the block at the closest mall and Wal-Mart to his house the day the game was released. If you didn't pre-order, you were NOT getting the game.

I've played 8 or so games with these and I find the shooting fouls might be a tad too high and the CPU defenders on the opposing team still defend the passing lanes unrealistically better than the one on my team. I have noticed that the right-stick passing dynamic greatly lowers your turnovers if you always pick which shoulder you want to throw the ball to. All-in-all not a bad place to start. I'd be interested in whatever feedback you guys might have.

But Kareem's sky hook is unstoppable!

Anyone else horrible with Magic?

[thaKEAF]

Yeah that's how I lost the game..Magic couldnt do shit but pass.

[Ben]

Pacers are fun to play as, Collison and Granger are so good. Especially if the CPU bites on Granger's pump fake.

[thaKEAF]

I just realized I've only played one non-legend game since I've got this.

I've only played with them once and they're pretty good. Apparently Paul George is unstoppable getting to the rim.

[Ben]

Yeah he's pretty good. Starting up an association now, nearly went for Pacers but I'm being the Timberwolves, with Rubio running the show.

[Laker Freak]

On the Legends mode I easily won the Stockton, Bird and MJ ones but it took me 5-6 attempts to beat the Kareem one. Mchale, Bird and DJ seem to hit EVERYTHING.

I found shooting fouls a bit high without the new sliders - and they ramp it up by another 15%. That was only against Dominique though I guess - no other games have seen players on a parade to the line.

Will give these sliders a go tonight, thanks.

[RollWithEm]

I'm just figuring out that the biggest weakness with the sliders is the complete lack of charges that get called. I'm going to take mine up from 90 to 100.

I never get why people change the tendencies on the user... you are the user and control what they do!

Have some questions though-

1) Why lower the "look for post players" slider so much?
2) Seems like your shooting fouls would be real low with this? You say they are high?
3) On ball defense for user seems low too? Maybe because you lowered quickness it's easier to keep up?

[Gonzo]

I can't get a foul call to save my ****ing life in this game. I gave up trying to figure out the foul sliders because no matter what I set it to, I always rack up fouls but the CPU doesn't.
