I don't have a Kinect and I'm not planning on getting one, but that does sound pretty cool and handy.

Sounds like some cool shortcuts to have. I have a kinect since my Xbox came with one. I doubt it'll stick with me. I'll most likely end up using the buttons. Pretty neat integrating it though

actually, it stinks that A, they still havent added normal maps to bench player uniforms (during gameplay) like they did in 2k11, giving that plastic, no wrinkle effect. and B, why isnt this supported with PC mics or playstation move?

[Andrew]

Well, we all know why the PC version is missing out, it's an afterthought and we're basically lucky to get it. Does the PlayStation Move have a mike?

[JaoSming]

even if they don't have a mic it would be very easy to implement this stuff like SOCOM did all those years ago with a normal microphone. Nothing special with Kinect's, except for good vocal recognition software behind the scenes. I can whisper stuff like "Xbox, Bing, Trials Evolution" and it will still find the game.

Google says the Move doesn't have one, but the Eye does. With that in mind, I guess they can't really implement and advertise it as a Move feature.

Well the eye is a part of the actual move since it doesn't function w/o it. Either way, they could have just made it Playstation eye compatible at least.

It really could be that voice recognition software that all these Kinect games can access, which doesnt exist for PS3 or PC games, so console software, not game-based.

That's pretty amazing. I wont be using it. But it's certainly an interesting new development.

To be honest, I was expecting them to include somekind of a Kinect connection, ever since I've heard Fifa has it. PC users not being able to use it, is pretty much standard. As for these short clips of gameplay, hmm... Klay Thompson with the skills that he has, signature moves he should have (ok, these are unknown and debatable, we just know he has Deadeye, as he is mentioned when explaining signature skills), why does he miss out, on an easy and open shot and goes for a contested leaner. In the Lakers situation, for a glimpse of a second we see Blake kinda fumbling and going into a new animation right at the start, which looks a bit odd, as if nothing happened, then later on, he does a weird user controled bump with Metta World Peace as they stand one in front of the other. Spurs vs Suns, just check what Scola and Gortat are doing on D, it just seems weird. What kind of a useless, unnatural switch is that? We improved CPU movement, they said... Well, what do you guys think, is it improved?

[Andrew]

I'd rather wait for raw gameplay footage from an up to date build - or to be completely fair, hands on experience with the finished game - to judge that.
