Live hasn't done anything in the last 10 years to put pressure on 2k. The only one that has any pressure is EA.

TELL THEM TO SET IT TO HOF SIM. THEY ALWAYS SHOW US THE GAME ON CASUAL AND THE COMPUTER DOESN'T DO ALL IT'S CHEAP NONSENSE ON THE LOWER DIFFICULTIES

since they are showing the spurs it should show if they fixed the open court speed issue. If I see kendrick perkins keep up with tony parker on the fast break im going to be disappointed.

Yeah because that is what casual gamers want to see low scores, missed shoots ,no dunks and a bunch of fouls, unfortunately they a buy more games than sim gamers.

NO because you can't kill something that does not exist.

How so? If 2K had released the *perfect* game (an impossibility), would people be so close-minded as to say "If another basketball game comes out, I'm not even slightly willing to give it a look". Many of you act as if 2K12 is some huge disappointment and I'm not sure why. I look in other forums and I see people begging for developers to give them the privilege of paying for downloadable historic stadiums, legacy players, etc. 2K12 has complete historic teams, with team/player specific commentary (better than most full games), players have their own unique signature animations, along with historic arenas and presentation elements that are era-specific. Not DLC, included with the game. And what do we read many here say? "It's a gimmick/get rid of it" lol. Ridiculous. There's FAR more right about the game than those of you that complain incessantly are willing to give the game credit for. And that's okay. But stop it with the view that it's 2K's fault they "didn't put Live away". Because it was never going to happen regardless.

I'll be looking forward to seeing the gameplay preview on Monday, but really not expecting to see anything groundbreaking. My guess is it'll be similar to when they last did E3 with 2K10, and we get an idea to the improvements coming regarding the player interaction and maybe a new gameplay enhancement. It's not like the game requires some overhaul as some insinuate. Anything outside of that for me will be gravy

It was a very solid game, I'm not going to defend everything but if you download one of the many great rosters and sliders, and learn how the game works 2k12 can be fun. My biggest grip with 2k12 is the lack of post double teams. The devs are going to have to add some unrealistic things so the game is competitive and harder. I hate warping but I understand why its there, I hate the speed bursts but I know why they had to put it there, and I hate the psychic defense but its there for a reason.I had learned how to play with and around the previously mentioned things. I'm not arguing with you and your opinion just that 2k12 is a very sim game and my opinion on it has changed since it was released. Its a difficult game but that's where playing sim comes in, if you prefer a easier game then a arcade game will probably be better for you. That isn't a diss just that, I know most people that prefer easier games usually like the arcade version better. I know must of us or some of us still prefer 2k11 but imo 2k12 is a better game. This is completely off topic I'm sorry.

I'm not saying 2k12 was bad or that it was unsim but they certainly catered to the casual crowd with this one. If you compare 2k12 to 2k11 you can feel a noticeable difference when it comes to 'hardcore' basketball and 'casual' basketball.

For example, last year I wasn't really afraid of anyone -- not LA, not Miami, nor the NBA champion Mavericks. Why? Because I knew if I just ran a correct offense (this means plays), I could overcome 90% of the cheese out there. Playing basketball dictated the game. This year I constantly have to avoid the top teams due to players like Durant, Westbrook, and Harden dunking on you whenever they feel like it. Casual players can compete (and dominate in some cases) with cheap tactics that didn't really work in years past.

I mean, if I really compared them I could probably find a couple more things but this is just off the top of my head. 2k12 is a good game but I believe it needs to leave that casual approach alone and get back to the 'sim' foundation it was built on.
