After releasing the best sports game of this generation, the developers at 2K Sports have their work cut out for them as they attempt to improve on the success that was NBA 2K11. At E3 today, I was able to get a first look, well, more like glimpse, at NBA 2K12.

I dont care how pretty they make the faces or how the lighting is if that dont work. i could go on and on but people really know some of the stuff thats wrong ie every center no matter what the rating playing like Hakeem in his prime on the low block...lol So no 2k will not get my money take a stand like we did with Madden 11 and watch the changes happen. Low sales make then listen not complaining on forum after we have the game.

Take it easy. All we've seen of the game is the playstation move film, so don't don't start complaining about stuff you know nothing about.

all im saying is that every year the servers dont work this is a proven fact and every year they say this year the servers gonna work but they dont. Who can dispute that?

Analog dribbling and better player control/movement, plz. That's all I need. If 2K wants to do what Elite 11 did with their r-stick, I would be more than happy becuz I just can't get into the stale gameplay of 2K11. I shoulda Ebayed that joka months ago and got more of my dough back.

they should offer both options...not everyone wants to use right analog dribbling...i prefer the current 2k11 scheme with left stick dribbling and right stick for shooting.

their biggest mistake would be to force everyone to switch control schemes when many are happy with the current one...it's probably fairly easy to offer both, so it would be crazy for them not to.

I'm a 2k fan and ppl that are reading this might say man nothing makes these gamers happy they always have something negatively or complain about this and that about the game but think about it for a second,NBA 2k11 me and my dad like the game it was a good game not the greatest or awesome but we like it well this is my opinion but there was a lot of flaws in gameplay. It needed so much fixing it wasn't even funny especially in HOF difficulty I mean me and my dad play on HOF cuz we love the challenge and it was the most realistic difficulty but it was so ridiculous it felt like the A.I was cheating or what ppl called it cheesing especially when ur beating them all of a sudden in the 4th quarter all of a sudden they make a comeback lead and once they lead the game u can't catch up to them anymore because the cpu forces the user to go into different animations to make u miss all of them why because the A.I wants to win by forcing u to get into this animation u don't want to go in and u can't escape that. E.g I was the heat vs Mavs got the rebound with CB4 when Kidd miss the 3pt shot D-wade sprint to the other side of the court I pass all the way down to Wade for a fast break I see Chandler catch up to me he was like at the 3pt line i was up in the air ready for a dunk when he reach to the 3pt line all of a sudden he try to block it from behind and i get caught into a two canned animation with Chandler and I did a layup and i missed it no foul call either. Also animations were way to overrated in 2K11 hopefully they fix other gameplay flaws ppl said on youtube. Oh yeah 1 more thing My Player Mode was also a lot of hype and a lot of ppl didn't like it not even play it anymore cuz they said it got boring or it was ridiculous. Again don't get me wrong this is great stuff to add in the game I love it i'm happy they add it in just think about gameplay first b4 liking all this stuff. And be careful about the hype in this game. Hopefully u guys will understand what I'm saying anyways good stuff to hear.

i sooo totally agree with what you mentioned about the game simply cheating you to win and also they really need to focus on servers as good of a game 2k11 was it would really be a heck of alot better if they fix the online servers

push ahead dribble sounds awesome.

Here are my top guesses of who might be on the 2k12 cover:

Blake Griffin
Kevin Love
Dirk Nowitzki

I guess all the guys in online leagues can. *shrugs*

I guess no Jordan challenge this year... I'll just keep my 2k11 for the Jordan aspect of the game.

# 36 dvir10 @ 06/09/11 05:07 PM

i can understand why people are dissapointed/pessimistic but i'm waiting for 2k sports to announce the official fact sheet before saying my opinion. and i think more people should do the same.

# 37 jeebs9 @ 06/09/11 05:07 PM

I'm excited!

# 38 blues rocker @ 06/09/11 05:33 PM

sounds like their biggest changes are upgrades to the presentation and modes...seems the gameplay will probably remain the same except for cleaning up some animations...which is fine with me..i love 2k11's gameplay and adding anything more than minor tweaking would risk killing it.

couldn't agree more. They just have to adjust some tweaks (especially the passing) but other than that I'm fine with the gameplay. All I care about now is the graphics, since they nailed the gameplay down.

As for the cover ideas, I'm guessing they'll do multiple players? Kind of like what NBA (08 or 09, i forgot) did.
