how much of this applies to the pc version of the game?

[fumanchu]

click the link and view the manual for PC...it should answer your question...

[JaoSming]

all of the info I posted was from the PC version of the manual

the PC manual for 2K11 didn't mention custom arena music, but 2k12's does. Man I hope that isn't a typo.

that might just be referring to the songs they already have in the game like you can assign their music to arenas I hope it means you can import your own music but I won't get my hopes up

[Lean]

Or they mean turn the music on or off.

EDIT: Dynamic shoes! I will buy this game!

[Andrew]

Awesome, nice to get a glimpse of some of this stuff a few days before the release. Hopefully those aren't typos in the PC manual.

[J.Davey]

Unfortunately there's nothing about system requirements....

when you all talk about typo on custom arena music, is it the "Arena Music Manager" feature?

[handlez362]

Man I hope there is custom arena music 2k meet itunes.

[Andrew]

Already confirmed. Same as last year.

[JaoSming]

yep. I'm hoping they didn't simply copy and paste the console manual and just added the default keyboard controls to the manual without deleting the features that aren't in the PC version.

[DVocShoeBox]

3D PC? I'm showl debating on getting that upgrade but is it worth it.

Dynamic shoes, cool! Still doesnt make up for horrible generic on retro players tho!

[Cr0ss0v3rK1ng]

The generics aren't as bad this year at least they look half decent now, but there looks like there is going to be a crap load of shoes this year.

[Dual]

online association sounds incredible but... i never played an online game cause it was like shit, at least till 2k11. Is this going to be fixed?
We will see... if online games are more or less like the ones you play alone in your computer im all in.

[pistonnation]

Well looks like we have the same crappy menu on PC........ "On the Home Screen, Move the right stick to display the main menu/Move Right stick again to close Main Menu" UGH! BTW, Im using a 360 Pad on my PC. Which I hope most of you are also...

[JaoSming]

um, that's how the consoles bring up their menu and it's how the PC controlled the menu for 2k9. It doesn't confirm or deny anything.

If you have a 3dtv you can hook your cpu up to it, download iz3d drivers, put on your glasses and you will see what it's like. You can also use the red/blue option in the driver on any monitor if you have any of those cheap glasses lying around.

My opinion is that it's pretty cool. It gives me better depth perception on the flatter camera angles. I wouldn't upgrade just for nba 2k, though.

∙ Use Arena Music Manager.

About time.

• My Controller
• Choose from 3 alternates to the default control scheme.

About time. As a keyboard player, I've now gained a bit of hope that I'll be able to do all dribble moves again.

Being quite skeptical about 2K12, these might be the first two things that make me happy for this game. I'll be mad if those are just on the consoles and they were lazy enough to not delete it from PC manual.

[kibaxx7]

Arena Music Manager... now I'm a happy human being.
