The actual gameplay is great IMHO. I don't play online (partially because it's always been shitty), so I didn't have any expectations of that working. We need to lockout to end so rosters can get updated and rookies can join, but otherwise I'm happy with my purchase.

Some other dude on twitter asked why does Online Association allow you to play 40 seasons but you can only get through 10 seasons of 82 games before 2k13 would be out.
Ronnie's response was if you intend to go 40 seasons why play 82 games.
My response is why give people the option if they cant do it?
It's the story of 2k, giving you what you want how they want you to play it. Let the user decide? Not in 2k's manual.

I am different, still adjusting to it. What has caught me off guard is the momentum and my player seems to be able to lose the ball of the dribble/leg more than in 2k11. There is slight variation in free throw too

Exactly, it sucks.pilonv1 said:
My Player. Want to be a D-League guy trying to make the league? Make teams through training camp? Have to go back to 2K10 sorry, but then you don't have the draft and stuff.
They reconfigure the drills every year. If you don't want to bother with the press conferences you can't do anything about it. Having to sit through the entire draft until you're picked. Adding in caps to the ratings. Limiting the minutes to five per quarter back when 2K10 first came out. Or last year when it would play you 30+ minutes no matter what. Summer league is gone now, you can't see player of the game/signature highlights, etc.
They just don't add things or give you options, they take away stuff that worked fine.
I may be blind but have they really scraped the dunk contest and 3pt shooting contest?
Not that I actually miss it but it was cool to jump in occasionally.
Why would they get rid of it, most importantly why did no reviewer mention this.
I'm sorry but you can't say that NBA2k12 is the best basketball gamer ever if you just axe stuff.
The gameplay feels much better but that's about it. They intentionally axe stuff and make things worse so that next year they can be all like it's back and better than ever praising it as the second coming.

In all seriousness...The PC version by a country mile. Especially when you add in all the mods done.

This is a joke post right?
Lighting....better on PS3.
But if you've got the juice, a 360 controller and you don't plan on playing online...PC by a long shot. Graphics are simply going to look better. If 2k hadn't F'ed up the lighting...
Cool thanks for the advice. Hopefully they get the online mode working, I liked the one where you played with 5 online players vs 5 online players, even though the netcode made it unbearable most of the time.
just bought it on Steam, lol at the crappy little picture of Jordan in the library icon.

I haven't played a NBA2K game since 2K8. Is the learning curve going to be vastly different than the last 2K game I played? And also, should I get this now, or wait?

As Zep notes, there's an effect on the 360 that is not on the PS3 nor PC. There is a mild shadowing thing on the consoles that's not on PC but as has been discussed for a couple versions now the other advantages on the PC make it the true graphic whore version.Zep said:
If you don't give a shit about online, PC is the way to go, half the price, offline feature complete, high resolution and mods.
Just don't expect timely patches or a functional online!
They won't, it's been terrible since 2K10, and considering they can't even get consoles working properly, the three guys working on the PC version don't have a chance.Jtrizzy said:
Yeah, it's become more complex, but you can still get by with the basic buttons. For the second question, depends on if you care about the lockout and rookies. If you just want to get in and play basketball offline, no need to wait.ShinobiFist said:
Anyone tried 3d on the pc version? I actually thought the 3d on the ps3 vers?on had potential, even with the resolution drop... on a good pc I'm hoping it will be really nice.
Also interested in the mods, a college bball mod would be great. What other kinds of things do the do with mods in this game.

Thanks benji. Offline gameplay is all I need.
It is, it is sick, I love the new post gameplay but overall the jump from 2k11 isn't worth the money imo. Maybe I'm spoiled because 2k11 was my first game in the series but I was amazed at the content it offers. A week prior to the 2k11 release I bought 2k10 for cheap and loved the dunk contest, 2k11's dunk contest got subsequently worse with splitscreen and in 2k12 it's gone altogether :/Blackace said:
I really want to play 2k12 just for the noticeable improvement jumps in animations and character models...
...but no rookies and a predictably broken online system is reminding me it's not even worth half its price right now. I wonder if I can get my fix through a weekend rental.

Player models all look like they're covered in grease in the PC version. I'm sure it'll be fixed by the modding community though.
...until your team trades your starting all-star power forward for 2 back-up point guards

I haven't bought one of these since 2k3 (but a friend did bring over 2k10 a few times) and I've been freaking loving it. I didn't know much about it besides old teams being in it and thats been my favorite part. I didn't know there was anything wrong with it until I came on here so that sucks..

So I was right to wait a few month before picking up 2k12. Good to know.
Are the problems worse than last year?

If you don't care about online, then get it. From a gameplay perspective, it is better than 2K11 and most issues can be fixed via sliders.

Are there recommended sliders available for download already?
I was a 3 pt specialist PG drafted seventh by the Kings, requested a trade to the Heat, got traded with DeMarcus Cousins for LeBron. lol.
It's kind of annoying how the only teams you can really get with unless you say NO to all of them are the Kings, Pistons, Wizards, Rockets, Jazz, Pacers, or Bobcats, Suns, or Sixers.
