User Info: wesjackson23 wesjackson23 10 years ago 6 teammate AI isn't completely retarded like it was in 2k11 but between the animations and almost automatic 3s with even just a little bit of space even from players like Dwight Howard it's still pretty frustrating The thing that kills me about My Player right now isn't so much the flaws as much as there is nothing you can do to fix it, game sliders don't affect my player and you can't change AI tendencies either.

End of story. It's a killer in My Player mode, especially when you're just starting out, but it's even worse when it happens to an established Point Guard like Steve Nash. With the exception of LaMarcus Aldridge, DeShawn Stevenson and about a handful of other players, 2K12 finally gets it right with mimicking players' jump shot forms perfectly.

Making corrections to players like Dirk Nowitzki, Blake Griffin and countless others, 2K took a step in the right direction on this one. After a disappointing portrayal of the ferocious athletic ability of last year's Rookie of the Year, Blake Griffin, NBA 2K12 features and up-to-date dunk package for the young superstar. While his fast break dunks are far from spectacular, expect to make a poster out of anyone lingering too far under the basket.

Maybe it's because I haven't mastered the art of playing defense in NBA 2K12 yet, but I find it relatively hard to lockup guards by myself. It's all about anticipating movement and beating your man to the spot, like a real NBA game. The greatest improvement made to the game, in my opinion, was the broadening of the offensive post. Gone are the days where a hook shot, a fadeaway and a predictable up-and-under were your only options on the block.

With an expanded repertoire of moves in the low post, you can do anything from create separation or lean back into the defender to drive to the paint or lower your shoulder and charge into your defender with an increased risk of an offensive foul.

And it doesn't end there! There's also an updated defensive post, where anticipating your man's move will almost certainly lead to either a turnover or poking the ball loose. You can even "pull the chair" from under the defender. Whether it's Al Jefferson, LaMarcus Aldridge, Zach Randolph or Pau Gasol, grab your favorite post player and head to the practice gym to familiarize yourself with the new moves.

Or, even better, you could head on over to the new Training Camp mode and learn the ins and outs of NBA 2K12, including the post game. Though the online play, ratings and lack of an updated roster put me, along with countless NBA 2K12 players, at an uneasy feeling, the gameplay, new features and ridiculously entertaining My Player Mode earn the newest installment to the NBA 2K series an A-, or a 8.

I occasionally hear about psychological studies saying that men are more likely to fantasize about their coworkers than lingerie models due to attainability; and perhaps a parallel drive exists in my desire to involve myself in these Road to the Show-type endeavors rendering my frame as accurately as possible. However, my dimensions allow me to not only be a closer tossing 98 MPH heat, but I can easily move up to the majors and be an innings eater as well.

The first sign that NBA 2K12 has its shit together? The Milwaukee Bucks asked how I felt about the possibility of actually living in Milwaukee. But come draft night, both passed me over. I vowed to make them pay. Problem is, my Phoenix Suns are just phenomenally bad. This is clearly a team that has no vested interest in winning. And I actually get to participate in the post-game press conference—just me and Alvin Gentry answering the tough questions from reporters while Steve Nash stares off into the middle distance, trying to remember times from a decade prior where he could very well have chalked up a triple double and slept with Elizabeth Hurley on the same night.

That is, until it was Aaron Brooks fielding heat about why we somehow managed to let the Golden State Warriors bomb out on us to the tune of another point loss.
