News is starting to roll out for 2K's next installation in their NBA 2K series, so let's start up a discussion.

Post up pictures, previews, any information to get us excited.

Who will be getting this and what cover do you want?

I'll be trading my 2K11 for this. Not sure which cover to get yet, maybe the Magic one. :D

Start off with 2 Hands on previews.

Sounds nice! The live ball physics sounds good, can't run into teammates and the opposition carelessly now it seems.

When I first started playing I was averaging D, D+ but now I'm C+ or a B- so I'm getting better and yeah it was rather difficult but tonnes of fun

Sweet, My cover doesn't have the NBA sticker on it.

Unfortunately it was stuck on the outside wrapping of the game for some reason, not on the case. >.<

Got the Magic cover though, which is what I was looking for :D
Oh what a ripoff! :P

The Magic cover is the best I reckon, so silky smooth, just like him. Also got a poster and game code for 2 historic teams. Pretty sweet.
i got micheal jordan
Have to say my initial impressions are this is a step backwards for the franchise. My player is far far easier and has lost that sense of achievement for developing a player.

Player movement feels clumsy and nonresponsive.......they move much slower.hmmmmmmmm

You're not the only person to feel that way.

My Player last year felt like it was long for the sake of being long. By the time I even got to the place I wanted my player to be at I felt like it took me too long to get there. And it's not like it got progressively harder. It got progressively easier. Just really long and tedious.

It feels a lot more structured and rewarding this year.

Gameplay has been slowed down considerably. Makes for more realistic scores and results. You've gotta play slow, use the plays and don't rush your shots.

The thing i like most about MyPlayer this year is that your teammates actually make the open shots and even contested shots more often
This is how I see the two games so far:
2k11 was a dunkfest.
2k12 is a 3pt barrage.

Made 3 pointers?

You should adjust your sliders, but pick the pace up slightly.
I was a 3pt monster in 2k11.

it's hard to adjust sliders in my player... Plus, each team shouldn't be hitting 20+ 3's a game even if it's on default.
Maybe the player your controlling is leaving his assignment and causing an open shooter, you could always change your defence tactics too.
Just need to suffocate your man on defense. They will usually always shoot if they are wide open. Not if there is a man running at them. Just put your hands up using the Right stick. It really helps on defense, giving you deflections at times.
So I guess nobody else experiences the 3 point fiasco then?
I do experience 3 point fiasco and alot of players have 3 point icon on them too

But that's why the sliders are there. You're supposed to use them to adjust the game to your like. NBA 2K12 CAN be played at the pacing of a real match. You just have to adjust it so. If they made the sliders such so that you only shot 40% during every match, no one would play it because everyone would be complaining about how their shots never go in...

Better to appease the casual audience and offer the option for more dedicated gamers to adjust the game's pacing to the level one would expect of a sim.

Any of you guys know where the Legend teams save. Does it save under your user profile or roster?

Eddie House's name is glitched and has turned into Eddie Lm. I was going to delete the roster file and let it re-download when I start the game back up again but I was afraid that I would lose all my legend teams.

You need to win and complete objectives for the teams to become playable outside of the NBA Legends' mode.
Anyone else get the 91 Warriors and 2001 Kings bouns DLC? Love playing as C-Web, aswell as bringing back my early childhood memories of Run TMC *_*
Mine arrived today. Played one game Lakers Vs. Bulls. alot of the players play extremely different. EG. Bryant is a bawss now. Fisher is a Sharpshooter. Eurostepping is a bitch now. Odom is a mess of a player. The player models look closer to their realistic counterparts, but look extremely cartoony, due to their humongous eyes
