I replied it's the zombie baseball game for those of us who can't afford living people baseball games, lol.

2k12 and it's "charm" kind of remind me of two things from TV/Movies. One is a Seinfeld episode when George finds a rubber band in his soup and says in a laughing way "ohh, that Pedro (or whoever) must be working today." Or in Night at the Roxbury when Mr. Zedar (or whatever his name is) constantly accuses his co-worker of grabbing his ***, and when his co-worked replies that from where he's standing it's impossible Mr. Zedar just says "I know your tricks".

If you can laugh your way through some of 2k12's ridiculousness you'll find a very nice/fun game.

LOL! Exactly.

2K games are still the best, regardless of their quirks. They're just plain fun, that's how I see it. Or maybe I'm getting old and less particular or something, lol.

I haven't seen many framerate issues. Few and far between. Are some of you playing on the old 360?

visual concepts didn't make those player models. that's one big reason.

i know, its like the reviewer ignored the patch that was released on release day and fixed the frame rate issues.

It seems like every year, the only sports games series I have hesitation on buying or opening once I purchase it is MLB 2K. The baseball Jones is a strong one, so I'll cave eventually.

I'm so confused as to why someone would purchase a game, then not open it and just... have it there, while having an internal debate about returning it. Why not just not buy it in the first place?
