I started a My Player and ended up getting drafted as a backup PG for the Suns at 13. In the interview process I said I was cool sitting and learning for a few years but they ended up trading Steve Nash and Marcin Gortat for James Posey and Paul George... there aren't lulz epic enough.

So if you only play offline how is this game on PC? I'm tempted to get it since it's only $10 on Amazon's Download service.

It's a great buy if you're only interested in offline play.

Cool, I wasn't sure if this was like other PC sports games in the past where it was a bastard child of console version like Madden was before they finally killed it off completely.

Wait, it's on sale until the 25th? Where does it say that?
It sort of is, the console versions have gotten 3 patches now and the PC version hasn't gotten a single one. PC version doesn't even have the updated rosters.

Didn't the community update the rosters in previous years or not really?Cool, I didn't know that. Thanks.

Damn, I had no idea they took it that far. 2k11 didn't have that problem.
Yes the community has created their own rosters that are updated every day.

I got this game a week before release and played amazingly well. Release date came they started updating the game via patches and its a complete mess.
Morphs more than ever
no fatigue
the cpu doesn't dbl team mismatches in the paint
Speed rating means nothing John Wall can not out run Greg Olden on fast breaks
CPU Spams with attacking the basket and pump faking like crazy.
I can go on and on but visual concepts is one of my fav sports dev but they are falling off the cliff right now. My heart hurts.

PC version has the rosters. Load the game, delete the roster, quit, reload the game. Boom. I played a few games yesterday after doing some Googling to figure out why my rosters weren't working.
That said, we need a patch or something to fix things like Jimmer/Jan Vessely/Enes Kanter having black arms and legs.

You can also do options->reset roster a couple times and it'll reset to default, then reset to updated rosters.

^^^^^ Works like a charm...
I paid $20 and I was happy with that. Only buy the PC version for offline play. Supposedly PC online is janky/broken. Also the PC version typically doesn't get patched as often as the console version, it normally gets one patch at the end that includes all the updates ( at least that is what I have read ).
PC for: Single player + Mods + high res
Console for: online + more frequent patches
I played with a 360 pad, so I don't know how the keyboard controls are. I hope that helps.
I was a PG that got drafted by the Suns to backup Steve, too. They've kept Nash though.
It's crazy hard getting points as a pass first PG. If the Suns brick their threes, I get no assists.
Now that the lockout is over I've been playing this a lot more online and off. If you think about there really is a lot of content on the disc. Between Association, My Player, Legends there's a lot of crap to play around with.
Going to create an Online Association sometime soon to see how that is. Around launch it was supposedly terrible, so I'm wondering if they have fixed anything after 1-2 patches. Online play is a crapshoot. It's either Clippers or the damn Heat and Lebron all the time.

I play with an Xbox 360 Wireless controller, works like a charm. Looks better on my 27" iMac than it would on my middle-of-the-road HDTV. I don't play online though (haven't tried even once, to be honest, so don't even know if it sucks like everyone keeps saying).
Definitely. Had it since near release and I'm still playing it plenty. Totally addicted to My Player.
they utilize the same roster updates as the consoles, and it attempts to refresh with 2K servers at least once a day. patches, on the other hand...

It's on sale now, not daily special, but a few bob cheaper. Until Jan 2nd, but I'd wait to see if it's not part of a daily deal before that.
Use "reset roster" from the menu. I had the same issue.
Going to give this another try now the season has started. I'm such a battered wife
It looks and runs much smoother than the console versions, but at the cost of waiting months for patches.
I resolved the roster issue by resetting them, then saving it with the updated trades and rookies.
Sorry if this has been posted before but my framerate drops drastically when I try to play a game online recently. Last week or so it was fine. I can play the single player modes just fine with maxed out graphics. This a known issue? There a fix for this? Saw some video on youtube about changing the processor affinity for nba2k12.exe to only use two cores to fix this problem but that didn't help for me.

Which slider is best to adjust to stop on ball speed slow down that seemingly allows Cs to catch up with LeBron James on a fastbreak?
Yeah, I'd love to tweak this. Seen a ton of people mentioning it as a big issue on other sites and YouTube. Speed and quickness as stats seem mostly useless. In My Player, my dude is up to 96 speed and quickness and is literally unable to penetrate on bigs (players like Greg Oden and Zydrunas Ilgauskas have been able to completely shut down any dribble penetration) and the speed bursts defenders get on the break are really irritating.
Speed rant aside, I'm pretty addicted to My Player. In the playoffs atm with the Mavericks, played all 82 games of the season.
You picked a tough game for your first sports title!
2k is not noob friendly. You've done the training camp and ny advice is to do it again. The ISOmotion moves are key to creating space for jumpers and gettting open. Spend a lot of time in practice mode learning the release points on jumpshots. Also, call plays. They really do help players get open for scoring opportunities.
This stuff may seem complicated at first especially if you've never played 2k before but stick with it.

Use the push dribble. If your trying to just hold turbo you're doing it wrong.
Smokey really has given some great advice. I made a similar post on the Steam forums for another user that was new to the game. I am just going to include it here because it covers a lot of the same topics.
Don't forget players have hot spots on the floor. Learning them for your favorite teams top rotation can get you out of shooting slumps when it seems like the AI is turning it up on defense. The controller rumbles slightly when you are in a hotzone.
I really haven't touched online since the day I got this. Think I'm in the minority, but with the 2K series I'm pretty much always in My Player mode. Still loving it. In my second season with the Mavs right now starting at PG.
Do you also find that in your second season overall activity, trades and such, decreases a lot? Was just wondering if it was just my simulated season (started before lockout ended).
I go in and give the stars that will definitely not leave their current teams the no trade clause before starting The Association. I also made Dwight Howard and Derron Williams disloyal so they become free agents the 1st off-season. CPU free agent signing, drafting logic, and draft pick trade value is still very shoddy.
But to answer your question I was offered about 3 trades the first season and 6 the next, but trading in general was down the 2nd season.
Is it me or is the whole free throw % thing broken?
Yeah, I agree this game has a tough learning curve, even year to year for experienced players like myself. One of the most difficult things about the game is mastering the many different shooting styles. In some ways I consider it a drawback because I tend to use the same teams over and over again. But I can't really fault vc for doing realistic shooting motions.
BTW I can't really seem to get this to work online with pc, if anyone wants to give it a shot let me know.
Also wondering what mods to use?
