Doesnt look like they changed too much, but it does look like the animations blend even better than last year. Not terribly impressed, but they are going to win me over with the Legends/off the court stuff rather than any major changes to gameplay (aside from the live ball thing and dive into crowd)

[Andrew]

I'm inclined to agree on all counts. I'm leery of putting too much stock into videos anyway but as always it's nice to get a glimpse of the game all the same.

[Mavs4Life]

Dirk's jumper could be better, bt it's still an up from last year.

[kobebryant24]

Wow i'm definitely not impressed this is the same game from last year with a couple of updates. Every shot is bucket this is what i saw as the biggest problem of nba 2k11 and now 2k12. I mean no matter how hard you try to stop them they keep scorin' . Passes and movement are all the same . I wish i haven't seen this Hope there's something good in other videos

[StompTheCourt]

Well that sucks as far as a whole new game but could be good for us that work so damn hard on these mods hopefully there is a lot of new stuff and we can use our mods

Looks weird.

[Houndy]

It's the demo from E3 (I am assuming, or something along the lines of) so as Andrew said, I wouldn't put much stock into this. Looks good imo.

EDIT: According to the user who uploaded the Video, the game had something along the lines of, "This game is __% finished"

[JaoSming]

my biggest disappointment is that they are using the same scorebug, i hate that thing

[shadowgrin]

I don't like the pass out animation made by Dirk.

He rotated his whole body 180 degrees in midair, like a cat.

It hurts my head to watch this due to the quality if the video and it hurts my heart to see the 'new features'.

[atlwarrior]

The running looks better. They might've implemented footplanting.

Yeah doesn't look like much of change from last year. Atleast his release was not hard to get down. I hope they fixed a lot of the players release timing. Paul Pierce is one in particular.

[Rob Owen]

The changes according to dabornstar316 9

1. Walking the ball up court dribble is back 0:20

2. New passing animations (J-Kidd) 0:30

3. Jumper momentum looks much better (Caron Butler 1:45 & Chris Bosh 1:23)

4. Players are still falling for no fu*king reason 0:46 (Caron Butler on LBJ Drive)

5. Dirk's shot is fixed 0:33

6. Post Game looks more realistic (on both ends) 1:40

7. Less bumping on defense

8. Defense plays much smarter when player loses his dribble @ 1:09 (puts hand in face and plays tighter)

So far it isn't impressive as i expected to be.

[Gigolo]

yeah.. who knows there might still be other features that we didn't see in that video.. lets just wait for other gameplay videos or teasers.. i'm a bit disapponted with the gameplay of 2k12 because it is 75% close with 2k11.. but i can see 25% different animations added that we can't see in 2k11.. so i am still excited to see more of it.. hope they post another video again..

[Patr1ck]

I won't put any stock into a 2 minute blurry video from a person who doesn't even like basketball games.

I agree on the Dirk pass out animation.

[XPviper]

Well it's probably the same version from E3, so many gameplay changes aren't there. But I do not expect 2k12 to amaze on gameplay changes. I hope they will upgrade off-court stuff on Association and My Player with some cool new stuff over making many new gameplay changes. I'm happy with all new ball physics system and considering that lockout has paralysed NBA it is enough for me to buy 2k12.

merged to keep the gamescon videos together

If that was the same build from e3 it would have been on a playable display at e3. What do you think these devs do for two months?

Count our money

[fumanchu]

on video #1, 1:37-40 mark, i love how LBJ was called for a backcourt....in 2k11 that would have been a "let go glitch"....

BTW: the guys playing on the video are morons...cant play shi*t

[kobebryant24]

Those guys can't play this game We only can see the foul animation ,out of bounds and backcourt violation :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
