NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)

[boboddy101]

THIS WILL OUTSELL 2k11 and be better than 2k11 in every way. 2k11 is one of my all time favorite games and the only game i play on my 360 and 2k12 will no doubt blow it out of the water. these articles just boost up my excitement for this game. I WANNA PLAY THE DEMO NOW!!!

This is 2k12, not 2k80's, they need to focus on current players 1st.

The key word isnt current but "players" ... so, are the current guys players ? ... not more than those "legends", not even close

Man I'm just having fun and joking. I know current NBA is priority.


P.S. 1. When I'm serious, I'm always joking.

I found the controls to be the best in the series so far in my opinion. Some may not like it but the control offered in a 2k game to me has no equal( IE the best in the 2k series). The other positive about the button press is that you don't have to hold it like you held the triggers. It also makes for seemless transition from your faceup game to your back to the basket game including spins out of it. Think of the controls as evolving from last year as opposed to staying static.

Czar,

Yeah we will just have to wait no way around it. Once we obtain a tidbit of information, it is like a pack of hyenas in here.

exactly...it has to be part of the game ...taking it away would be like taking away the crossover...all 2k has to do is make it so you can defend the move and less affective when properly guarded
