NBA 2K12 Quick Impressions & Questions

[aguifs]

Jao, did you experience the headless bug while dunking?

[StompTheCourt]

Jerseys work in 2k12 from 2k11 there is only one problem they put the nba logo in the global file and not on the jersey so you see two of them

[JaoSming]

nope, happy to say it looks like that bug is gone, same with the scorebug showing up during replays.

Thank god!!! The headless bug killed 2k11 presentation! Now I'll be able to enjoy my replays!!!

Thanks for the upload, Stomp. Just tried opening it in the latest version of REDitor II, no luck.

Maybe I can do something with this, it shouldn't be hard to remove NBA Logos from the 2K11 jersey files, i'll give it a go.

Just a quick little edit i've done on one of my jerseys, try this in NBA 2K12 and see whether there are 2 logos, cause I don't have the game yet due to being in Australia...

It's the Miami Heat Alternate by the way.

If this works, I'll do more conversions. Let me know.

What begins?

EDIT: Chicago Bulls Away Jersey, could somebody test these to see whether they work in 2K12 based on what Stomp said?

Ah yes, I should have picked up the obvious answer. I'll make more conversions if people want them. Better go and make a thread in the patch previews section.

If that's the case then we just remove the NBA logo from the jersey textures from 2k11.

My quick impression is that it's Great. They've changed some of the controls so I need to get the hang of the game again. The only thing that I don 't like is that Phil Jackson is no longer in the game, I realize he retired but they could have kept him as the coach for all those classic Bulls teams.

I should be getting my copy tomorrow so I'll give modding a go myself

One step ahead of you Lean... Already got two done, just don't take the red jerseys, I've started on them.

NBA Greatest is amazing, the presentation is just like watching a NBA Hardwood Classic on NBA TV

I'm agreeing 100%.

I play the PC version...Here are my first impressions..

The game's presentation is off the charts. Menus are so clear and sharp.

The biggest thing I noticed was that this year's game is less demanding on the rig. Everything plays so much smoother eventhough the courts and crowd look so much better looking.

Graphically the faces are a negative side. All players look like they have chalk on their face. Its weird they wouldn't notice that glaring oddity on everyone's face.

The gameplay is so much more realistic. Players move very realistically and the gameplay flow is very pleasing to look at.

Also no longer will a crossover lead to a sure dunk. A lot of realistic obstructions and collisions around the bucket.

Overall Im happy with how the game feels. I have not gotten used to the controls yet so the game will feel even more fun when I have figured all the in game details out.

PS. I love how the game is actually less demanding on a system. The gameplay looks even better graphically yet the game plays even smoother. The only thing weird is the player faces. IDC that much about that though other people cant stand that.

My Player is a lot of fun still but they made it a lot easier. I already know that I'm going to be an all-star as a mid-60s rated rookie if I stick it out. However, the fact that there isn't a million glitches, and the additions to presentation make it worth playing again.

Gameplay seems good. The shooting percentages are a little high, but the sim sliders seem to only need minor tinkering. The added polish also makes the game feel more authentic, and more fun in an empty sort of way.

I haven't played with Association yet as from what I've heard its the same as last year's but the player ratings don't seem too bad and I like that they don't have generic stand-ins for the rookies. When there are some rosters with rookies on 2kShare, the game will be fine, lockout or no.

[JaoSming]

everyone, try the Beluba camera. Just do it.

[BShaw20]

The Legend mode is flawed, as there are 3 refs in the 60's and 70's games! I also noticed that I can't play in the Legends arenas if I am selecting a current team as the home team. If I select a legendary team as the home and I scroll through the various arenas it does not even have an option to revert back to the default arena! The Hornets and Magic are teams in which I noticed this flaw!

[fear777]

Where is the Commit Fouls slider.It's a risky decision by 2k to cut this slider.

[nextnba]

I've been testing the game for the last 4 hours and overall, it's pretty impressive. I love nba2k9, bought 2k10 and 2k11 but didn't touch either because they weren't as good as 2k9. I will definitely stop playing 2k9 and switch to 2k12. Not right away because 2k12 doesn't include rookies and until a roster update is release w/ rookies, there is really no point to starting a season in 2k12. Like others stated, 2k12 is less demanding on the cpu and the game play runs more smoothly than the last 2 years. Signature shots has also gone downhill since 2k9 and you see many players with very similar signature shoots. 2k12 also got lazy and instead of labeling signature shots, they just label shots as "release 1, 2, 3 etc", which makes it hard to modify signature shots without specific labels.

What are the default shoes in this game?

Game is fine, but the rosters and ratings are stupid as faek. Why havent they included free agency before season start in association? Its a dumb idea to not include rookies, and use this seasons salaries. Also players who would be free agents this summer are signed to a stupid 1 year 1.4 mil deal. It would be better to make free agency before association start, and add fake name rookies with their real equivalents stats.
