NBA 2K12 Review (360, PS3)

12:54 PM - October 10, 2011 by RaychelSnr

It's been one year since we were all blessed with the God of video game basketball in NBA 2K11, so of course our hype levels were at an all-time high with 2K12 releasing last week. The hype built up so much that we were expecting nothing less than a Jordan-esque legend. But in the end, the game didn't quite live up to all the buzz.

Don't get me wrong, this game is fantastic and a must buy for every basketball fan out there, but we were all expecting a classic. Instead we ended up with a great game, and we're disappointed by the fact. We may be greedy and selfish, but this is what happens when 2K consistently puts out a great product. The expectations become so ridiculously high that they will be near impossible to meet.

So I'm not being negative, the game is the best virtual NBA to date. And it all starts with this little thing, which everyone is falling in love with, called gameplay.

Great game but I feel that the a.i. is a little bit to good and when ur running fast break 3 on1 the ball always gets stolen when u pass I will keep playing 2k11 but when I want to play with more legends I will play 2k12 but great graphics and great game.

It's a great game but it still lacks a few things

It has taken a couple of weeks to begin to get control of the game. It is getting better every time I play. Definitely switching from Default to Simulation results in much more realistic FG%. The Czar's strategy sessions are essential viewing to learn the game.

two of my favorite aggregate sites, metacritic.com and gamerankings.com gave 2k12 scores higher than its predecessor 2k11... currently 91 and 90 respectively for the ps3. 2k12 is better than 2k11 in my own observation but i think 2k has not reached its apex yet. i think 2k13 will outshine 2k12 and will be the greatest game ever, and it may be downhill from there.

Is it just me? As much as 2ksports makes a year off of these NBA 2k games the Glitches are getting worse each year. Its trully i have all of the madden NFL games and have no problems each year madden gets better.

Ok so for My player mode the first glitch i had was my player making the All Star game but the game skipped the entire weekend which was wonderful (here we go again). Second glitch on my player mode jordans shoe endorsement never opened the option of customizing your shoe dosnt work so that endorsement dosnt work at all. But this glitch topped it all at the end of the NBA finals of my player mode i won the championship after the trophy presentation the Game freezes when exit. so i tried again and it freezes again.

Once again each year i have to swap the game out for another 2k game which will for sure come with another set of glitches when will they ever fix this game its a shame most bought NBA game and they still will never be free of glitches am i the only one who feels this way?
