Is NBA 2K12 worth the upgrade?

Is the 2k12 worth the upgrade from 2k11? i mainly play association mode with the wizards. Are there any new features in association mode?

[Freak123]

The main upgrades from NBA 2K11 to NBA 2K12 is an updated and much-improved My-Player mode (still can be improved a lot, but this one is a lot better than last year's), more legendary teams and players to unlock and play with, and better-flowing gameplay. The gameplay from 2K11 to 2K12 is a major upgrade because the game just flows much nicer. The CPU ball movement, play-calling, and off-the-ball movement while you control the ball for your team, while still not great, is much better. Definitely worth the cash in my opinion. Good luck.

Not one. There's an online association though.

If you're involved in an Association, I'd say no, it's not worth it. The on-court gameplay, imo, isn't as good. The cpu does some things this year that will make you shake your head. Oh, and there are no adjustments made by the AI in the way of double-teams on hot players; they are non-existent. Combine that with a cpu opponent that still hasn't really improved in its execution and I find it hard to recommend 2K12 - unless the flashier graphics and nicer presentation sway you.

If you were primarily a quick-game-against-friends kind of player like I am, it's absolutely worth it for the updated rosters and the added bonus of better visuals/presentation.

as far as i am aware no it hasn't....looks like a calculation problem!...very off-putting when they pop up during a game and ur team is averaging 100 steals a game you think they would have noticed a bug that stands out so much...

I love association mode but sadly it has been 98% ignored this year!....which is extremely disappointing.If you do decide to purchase NBA 2k12 i recommend downloading The Sim Roster Project or the Dynasty Project Rosters those guys have put in so much time and effort to make the game playable and enjoyable!...
