NBA 2K12..... 
Posted on October 10, 2011 at 08:26 PM.
Im hearing a lot of complaining and hate on 2k12 and I really dont understand it! 2k11 was a great game and I knew ppl expecations for 2k12 were probably going to be to high. Nba 2k12 def stepped its game up and is better than Nba 2k11 in almost every single way. The gameplay is amazing and soo smooth is craaazy. The graphics look great. Presentation is also amazing. Does it have problems yes it does so does every game that comes out. But honestly I havent experience too many problems to justify all the hate. I think another problem ppl have is this game is a lot more difficult than 2k11 and requires you to really play smart patience basketball. When I first started was difficult to win by more than 2-3 points but you have to mix up your offense and defense. Also some problems ppl complaining about can be fixed with sliders. I hear online is horrible but I cant comment much on that b/c I havent tried it yet and dont play online much. Sucks that its bad but give it a min and im sure it will be fixed. Ppl bashing the game a lot b/c online is bad and i dont think that's too fair. But it should work correctly and no excuses for it being as bad as i hearing it is. 2k12 is a great game and I think some ppl are expecting way too much but honestly what more do yall want. No the game isnt perfect but I mean really, I look at Madden 12 and this game and it blows and kills madden out of the water not even close. The sad thing is madden got good to great scores which imo it didnt deserve. Sorry for the long read but I think ppl need to take the time and learn 2k12 bc it is an amazing game! Only thing I really miss from 2k12 is their Player of the Game presentation and Sweat it added realism imo.

Thanks guys! I mean 2k11 was pretty much perfect when it came out so! So if it isnt broke dont fix it. Not really much 2k needed to do to make 2k12 great. But yet and still they did make it GREAT. Game is soo much smoother and feel soo much different than 2k11 its not even funny. Playing the greatest games you really feel like you are playing games in those eras.

Yea I agree too. 2K12 is awesome. The presentation is the best thing! Don't get me wrong Presentation in greatest mode is AWESOME. But, personally I like the presentation in modern day games even better. i was watching a game the other day in my association and it was coming back to the fourth quarter and showed an outside stadium shot. I was amazed! Plus everything is bigger. Please 2k keep it that way! The only beef I had with 2k11 presentation wise was the scoreboard and stat overlays were to small. But, in 2k12 that isn't a problem at all. Everything is huge! Which is AWESOME. THANKS 2K FOR MAKING EVERYTHING HUGE!!! lol. But, seriously I nerd out for huge stat overlays and 2k12 masters it in every way. The ONLY beef I have AT ALL is the trade logic in association and my player. I've not had a lot of problems out of it myself yet, but have heard quite a few people say they have had problems. It has been weird for me but nothing outrageous (so far anyway). Still needs to be patched if it's as bad as people are saying. Also I would like to access 2k share which I haven't been able to yet. But that's it. and those can be fixed(patched) and I am confident they will be. Not regretting being fourth in line at my Gamestop at midnight and getting first PS3 Larry Bird copy at all!!!

Thank you!!!!!! People are frickin nit picking and complaining because its hard yo cheese and you gotta play real ball which is hard and requires you to thinl you want a fast break dunk fest go get nba street you want real basketball get 2k12
 
# 6 Gramps91 @ Oct 11
@AMYO Yea of course it's hard. Heck I have a hard time winning on Pro. I even play Rookie sometimes and it's a challenge. But the gameplay is top notch too. Of course it's hard and realistic it's supposed to be

Exactly like I dont understand what 2k is thinking online wise b/c 2kshare shoulb have been up as soon as release day, that i dont get at all. But again talking about the game itself not that many problems I just dont see it. Yes trade logic is messed up and def needs to be patched. But gameplay this yr is hard and very realistic. Im still playing on Pro/simulationg untill I get better and up my level. But on Pro/Sim im having a blast and a challenge im finally getting a couple of blow outs and lost by a couple of blow outs. Im get really realistic games. Teams I should beat I usually beat not always but usally. Teams that are tough are freaking hard to beat and are nail biters. This is on Pro im getting a great mix of variety in my games. Everybody complaining about too any threes have the heard of sliders at least offline wise. Idk know their are no slider for online. 2k this yr seem to have really jacked online up smh. But i really hope they fix it up fast b/c i feel bad for online players but again imo that is a small part of the game. The game is still great. @Amyo you are 100% correct ppl are nitpicking. and totally agree with you also @eaterofworlds888. I had madden 12 for 3 weeks and traded it in b/c was realistic at all. I was playing on all pro and havent played that game in yrs and was 15-1 in my franchise wth no challenge. I uped to all madden and cpu was just a cheat fest they didnt play better or realistic every rb on all madden is untackable running like adrian peterson while I had the falcons and big michael turner couldnt break tackles smh. Ppl are ridiculous they love and give madden great scores and then crush and complain on 2k scores b/c online isnt that great YET and rookies which isnt 2k fault wow.

@Jamake yea you can't complain about rookies. That's not 2k's fault. Plus online and trade logic will be fixed in a few weeks or something. Overall it's still a great game though I agree with you wholeheartedly. Gameplay and Presentation get a 10/10 in my book. Heck, Presentation gets like a 15/10. It's that good. I bought Madden 10 a couple months ago (cause it was like $8 and I hadn't played a Madden since 07) and took it back in like 3 weeks cause it was horrible. So, yea 2k>Madden anyday

I was going through the "man this game is hard, I'm not sure if I like it" motions as well when I first got it, especially in My Player. I was so used to head faking, driving, hop stepping into the lane and throwing down a dunk with wreckless abandon. Now I have to change my game up a bit and become a bit patient.

I noticed in my first few non-My Player games how important it was to move the ball around and move it right. I was playing a Greatest game and I started out with a couple dominating dunks by Dr. J. Next thing I know, I was getting double teamed and having to re-think my strategy. I love how the game really makes you look at the floor and not try to spam some dribble moves to get the open look.

I do still see the little nuances, especially with the passing game (passing right at my defender instead of going over him to the guy on the block) but how hard is it to adjust a slider here and there? Great blog!

I get the player of the game...It just doesnt eliminate the crowd noise when playing...but the game is great it does need patching to clean it up...I just hope it doesnt ruin the game. Nonetheless, the game is great I created nick van exel and the commentators say his name...I hit a big three Harmon exclaims "right between the eyes" such a sweet game

Cannot concern yourself with what others think. Regardless how good a game may be there will always be something that people will find that they consider game breakers regardless of how minute.

If I took everyones advice I wouldnt own Madden 12, NCAA 12 or any EA game for that matter. If you enjoy a game no sense in wasting time defending it. People spend way too much time trying to convince others that their opinion is superior.

When it comes to games the best thing to do is post what you like about a game and leave the rest alone.

I hate NBA hoops but I will pick up 2K 12 because of the legends teams. Teams from when the game was fun to watch.
