NBA 2K12 Review (360, PS3)

[bumpyface]

What about slow response and sluggish controls? The gameplay is recieving too much praise. It takes atleast 2 seconds, sometimes more for a passing animation to begin. What about sliding past a defender when trying to get position in front of them? How about un-real 3 point%, or more offensive rebounds in a game than defensive? Please, can we get an experienced hooper, atleast someone who has been playing basketball games for atleast ten years to realy dig in and review this game? How about the online issues that persist year in and year out. It's not fair to the people who get up early, or work late and burn 65 bucks on a product that doesn't live up to it's end of the bargain. The game is not shot, but it definately doesn't deserve all this praise. I've still yet to hear anything from an official 2k spokesperson about online play, and I can only get into matches half of the time. Please, someone at 2k give us some kind of information.

I love hearing everyone complain, yet I never hear I'm taking this game back. hmmm must be a good game. something to think about

The online play is very bad. The lag when you icon pass or when your just playing and the servers go out. Everything else makes this the best basketball game

[Dazraz]

Not being an online player I'm not exposed to those frustrations. One hell of a game. Once againg 2K have set an new benchmark in sports simulation.

I havent yet played a game in this time period, the greatest mode is so good. Also please everybody remember the 10 point scale scheme this site is trying to use - if i see one more ignorant fool comparing to some madden's score....

The problems you describe in My Player and online don't warranty this game an 8.5, more like a 7.

Also, in your review you claim that commentary is amazing. I agree. But for how long?

Can you tell us what happens in the second season? Do they use a generic commentary (so it can make sense) or are they repeating last year's commentary, which doesn't make any sense at all?

Because if the commentary is only good for one year, it's not really a good commentary, is it? I don't want the same amazing commentary the second year, that's impossible. But is there a generic one, which simply describes the action or will we have to hear comments from the first year again?

i think if they could finally fix the online with servers and patch the trade logic and other ai issues in my player.... it could very well be a 10/10 game..... just dont patch like they did last year

Last year they left My Player broken.
