I don't like today's NBA so all I care about are the classic files. But I'll see what happens as the date gets closer. The bigger question right now is 1) will I buy madden and 2) NHL12?

Reditor doesn't require brains at all. Although at first sight it seems like an Excel sheet, it is not difficult as one may think it is. This comes from me, a guy who isn't good and doesn't like mathematics. The only math you will need to know (and there are conversion tools for this on the web) are the conversion of the metric scale to feet and pounds when editing or creating players. The rest, yes it's numerical but stuff one knows like player ratings, date of birth, etc. Anyway, the future versions of it will include more friendly interfaces for editing players in a window mode.

Might wait on the reditor...looks like the current build has limitations to it. I need to understand it better before blowing a few bucks on it. Thanks for the encouragement..."YES!!!!!!!"

I'm not sure that 2K can really improve the gameplay. I think NBA 2K11 is the greatest SPORTS title I've ever played. Graphics, simulation play, ambiance - it will be hard to top. I looked through my roster files and I've got over 20 years worth of complete seasons that will occupy me until rapture. There is more work to be done on those files with the drop of the reditor and possibly more seasons to be created yet. So, unless there is something that just blows me away in 2K12 I don't think I'll purchase it. I have no use for the added rookies because they all suck (with the exception of maybe a couple). Like every game it has some holes in it, but I really, really love 2K11.

I stand by my original statement. Especially if your into gameplay I can't see you sitting out 2k12. Just can't see it

I really, really wonder, though, if this lockout has played into their decision making. This does offer them an opportunity to deflect the attention away (because I've posted in the other section here that I do NOT see a 2011-2012 season at all).

He gets it.

You throw Jordan - an all-time Chicago great - with Rose - their current superstar - on the cover back to back. P'Shop a picture of Jordan in his prime.

Would be the perfect way of combining the old and the new - You push the classics in the game by having Jordan on the cover and you push the current players in the game with Rose.

there is not a doubt in my mind that 2k12's gameplay will be improved. once 2k11 came out 2k10 was pretty much unplayable. i expect the same thing again this year. just improving player control and movement, and fast breaks alone would make me forget about 2k11
