Despite all the complaints, and there are plenty valid ones, NBA2K is a completely different(better, much better) BBall sim than 2K6 or whatever you last played. The leap from 2K9 to 2K10 alone was huge. The changes from 11 to 12 were meh and they ignored a lot of fundamental problems that have plagued the series this entire generation. All in all it's worth it if you missed out on the last 7 games, the problem is going from '11 to '12 for 60$ with those problems still there is a hard sell. Having skipped on 12, if 13 can finally address bugs and online play....I'll be down, but like last year I'll let other NBA gaffers test it before I buy it.
Yeah if those are the alleged additions and online still runs like shit, I'm not buying either version. Fuck them.
Their improvements are a new control scheme, Jay-Z soundtrack, and a bunch of shit that modders would do a much better job at doing. Last year, online leagues completely shit the bed. I have no fucking clue what they did taking away our options and all that.
Why is that worth any of my money? Especially if the online community pumps out rosters and mods better than those that 2k do. Screw them, I've also got the '08 Redeem team and a bunch of other FIBA teams in my game already
The only thing that would be bad is if people quit modding for 2k12 completely...which is probably what'll happen
