NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)

04:28 PM - August 29, 2011 by ChaseB

Steve Bartlett is checking in today with the first of two NBA 2K12 previews we will be running on the site this week. Steve's preview is more focused on the NBA 2K12 Greatest mode, some presentation touches and a couple random insights.

(Later in the week, I will be writing a more in-depth preview focusing more on gameplay and the current NBA -- I had a bit more time with the game than Steve.)

No I'm just saying if you do it this way you incorporate user control into the mix instead of just a dice roll.

I don't think I have ever looked more forward to a game than I am for NBA 2K12. We haven't even found out anything about Assosiation and My Player, and it's already a for sure first-day bye for me. October 4th can't come soon enough.

Although spectator mode is a GREAT idea (and a few games have it), 2k and their 3rd world servers aren't even close. Good luck completing a ranked game for the first 4-6 weeks. I will purchase 2k12... but only after the community has confirmed online play (all modes) works as advertised.

Speak with your wallet... it's the loudest voice you have. Instead of wishlists, consumers have the power to make DEMANDS. IF WE DEMAND SPECTATOR MODE (i.e. we will not pay for less), 2k would be FORCED to improve their online performance and give us spectator mode. Until the majority of us make it a "dealbreaker", don't expect change.

My money's on online play... when they provide it, I'll pay to play.

I want more insight about game play, create a player, and etc. I can careless about the greatest mode. I do these things last.

What they should do is the following: -left/right on shotstick + LT = hop step in that direction (like it already is) -a second flick is required in that direction equates to a finish at the rim. Will also allow you to control how you finish. -If you don't second flick, you hop step then remain stationary. This way 1) it's controllable 2) you introduce skill by the user; gone are the hold LT+flick layup shots that are automatic gimmes It's more complicated this way but it solves the problem you all are pointing out. You should probably wait and see until you play it before you decide if you like it or not.

awww dammm

Truth....my association is definitely going to be custom with just classic teams probably...Maybe a some current teams but just the good ones

They changed the controls and I'm sure most will get used to it.

As always, there will be people who prefer older controls.

urrrrrgghhhhh ...time to relearn everything...had them mastered too for both ps3 and xbox....

i guess thats a good and bad thing...keeps the game fresh to some extent

# 95 Money99 @ 09/02/11 04:16 PM

I hope there's news on My Player in Part 2 of this review. I love those modes.

# 96 Jackmouv @ 09/02/11 06:14 PM

I don't care about nothing but the SERVERS. Will I be able to play online teamup with 5v5 and headsets. That should be their MAIN area of focus. WE have not been able to run 10 player games with headsets since they came out with TeamUp like 3 or 4 versions ago, and the servers STILL SUCK. GET them fixed!!!!!!!!!!!

# 97 Uncle Way @ 09/02/11 07:54 PM

Damn I can't wait...

# 98 panthersfanstev @ 09/02/11 10:44 PM

Cannot wait for this game! Lots of favorite teams from the recent past. I imagine that the current draft class will not be available until a new CBA is reached, that is the one downside, but we shall have to wait and see.

# 99 AIR96st @ 09/03/11 11:05 AM

I wish people would ask the REAL questions. Sure the game looks great, but will Online actually Work this year? Will we run into the same Server problems? Like will I have to set my 360's time zone to Japan Just to play a Crew Game? Will they be quick to ban the cheaters? Those are just a few of the questions I would like the answers to..

These questions are asked on a daily basis. You're not alone.
