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.

Please, half of that was going on with NBA 2K11. You can't stop people from cheesing, and you seriously not going to get 2K to make the game "all sim" because 75% of their buyers are the cheesier land. Last year when NBA 2K11 was out people were complaining about cheesing, so don't get your point. If you want a 100% sim authenic game the ONLY way to do it is to either A. Join a Sim League B. Play Only Sim Appoints or C. PLAY OFFLINE.

Once again, LMAO at people buying into the oldest ploy in the book take something away give it back and see how much you love it. I honestly don't think EA will be any better. 2K has been the higher rated game for 12 years and best selling for I don't know how long. Let's be honest here 2K took the crown fair and square. You are a fanboy or tout if you keep coming on every 2K thread talking about how much faith you have in a product that has been inferior for 12 years in the majority of the populations minds. I love competition so I am happy to see Live coming back but I do not like there chances to do anything other than get the fanboy customers that they don't have to do a single thing to get anyway.

2k is gonna lay the hammer this year. With Live coming back they are going to close the door on any hope of that game being considered better. I don't see this game being like NCAA where it looks exactly like the previous year. I still can't stop playing 2k12 and i've already preordered 2k13.

Its not literal. Not in the literal sense of no other games will be made but they would of been to the point where the 2k series would be becoming the madden of basketball to where it would start to gather a mass following.

The fact that ea canceled their game. More people where given 2k12 a shot that would normally go with the live series for whatever reason. Had 2k12 been a great installment following 2k11 the 2k series would of converted more users to the base and kept the strong following they had for 2k11.

2k12 was barebones, had issues with online and had disappointing gameplay mechanics which opened up the door which could of been tightened further to the point where it would of just became a juggernaut like the madden following. Instead you have the live base not impressed with the 2k12 product, some of the 2k11 base not impressed with 2k12 and are keeping their options open.

Ea has a great chance for a quicker turnaround and must have been saying to themselves we dodged a bullet. Instead of being on all pro football status they actually have a shot of gaining a lot of users back on board quicker then they anticipated.

nah bro we talking about online in 2k12 where everyone is domique wilkens dunking with easy or floating through paint defense becasue of the lack of contact. 2k11 online was alot better and every player in the game with a decent dunk rating didnt do highlights in all game with ease. The various clips of ghosting while starting spinlayup, hopsteps, etc etc are true and its step back from the various 2k11 paint contact animations we had.
