NBA 2K12 Released
I’m in the minority here I’m sure, but this is the game I’ve been waiting for….
Released today on Steam. $50.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/201020/
Following up last years best sports game of the year in 19/20 awards available apparently (Fifa beat them in 1 award). How do you top having Michael Jordan in the game?
Keep Michael Jordon, AND
Bring in Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Scottie Pippen, and 10 other basketball greats. They’re matched up in games against other basketball legends such as the ’93 Hornets, Dikembe Mutombo and Shaq with the Orlando Magic. Every team you play as and against is unlockable, letting you pit the greatest players of the last 40-plus years against the stars of today. Want to see Dwight Howard go head to head against Shaq in his prime? Of course you do because that’s awesome.

Dammit
Why isn’t it home time yet… I wanna kick this download off.
(For comparison purposes – I’ve had BF3 beta downloaded since Friday… didn’t touch it all long weekend or yesterday. hmmm)
come fuzz
come to the dark side of the beta, where the rage is high and laughs a few, where glitching thru the map is common and squad spawn is nigh.
oi!
where did my shirt go?
-
heh it wouldnt take much to convince me. I’ll probably give it a go this weekend between dunking on Americans :)
hmmm… u got demoted??
Was a BOD thing, Limpet...
As Matt surely saw, I’m in the BOD: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3949700/Im_BoD.jpg
Sorry Limpet, you were indeed demoted :-(.
LoL
btw Limpy… press control F5 in your browser. That’s the back door to getting promoted.
NHL?
Whats wr0ng with NHL?
I have the BF3 Beta d0wnl0aded as well Fuzz, have n0t played it either yet.. n0t because I d0nt wanna 0r cant be b0thered yet, but because s0meh0w the d0wnl0ad was futzed up and w0nt w0rk with 0rigin. n0t g0nna b0ther d0wnl0ading it again, will wait till it c0mes 0ut haha.
very few sports games on pc
unfortunately…. I’d be buying a hockey game for sure if it came out on PC still. It’s a shame what EA sports has done to PC gaming. Years gone by you used to be able to get NHL, Madden, NBA Live, FIFA every year. All that’s left is FIFA.
2K sports at least puts out basketball and baseball every year for PC.
how
did f5 work? your a wizard
Secret....
Careful – there’s a shortcut for demotion too…
F5
mmm F5
My sec0nd fav0rite KEY….

review from phone
Downloaded it last night. Only got to play a few mins as it finished after 10. I always hate the new feel of the game play but it always grows on me.
Posting up is much easier to do now at least on the easy skill levels.
Stephen curry has a new floating sideways shot which is nice.
The greatest players modes look awesome. Haven’t tried them yet.
Rosters are stuck as at end of last year due to the lockout. As soon as the lockout ends they get updated.
The one negative shad will be interested in….. No crew mode. Crazy to take it out. Not a deal breaker for me cos I play 1 on 1 more, but probably is for u shad.
Online… Server wasn’t up last night but looks like it is today accd to the forums.
Reserve further judgement til I get to play some online games.
Review 2
Got to play some online last night. I am the undisputed IPX champion of NBA 2K12. 4-0 start (2 of them quit on me, but at least in 2K12, it keeps track of the quitters which is nice). My first full match I won 78-49. I was quite impressed the guy stuck with it so long.
Passing seems better – in 2K11 it seemed easier to do an alley oop play then to score by passing to a guy heading to the basket unless he was 100% unmarked. In this less passes get intercepted which is nice.
My unbeatable play with the Golden State Warriors doesn’t seem to work as well as it did before (use Monta Ellis and Steph Curries pace to run to an open spot and shoot with high success rate), mostly cos they seem a little slower off the mark. But overall am liking the gameplay feel.
3’s seem easier to get which is good – they were nigh on impossible before with online play unless you were Ray Allen.
There’s a team up mode which I’ll have to look into. Not sure if that’s players playing on the same team – just not as organised as Crew was in 2k11. Will check that out sometime.
Getting a game online is quick too – took max of about 30 seconds waiting each time and it matched me up with someone.
Fuzz.
