I normally love playing 2k as soon as I get it. This year it's been a little different. Partly because of the lockout but mainly because of how frustrating this year's version of the game is. Here's why it's frustrating:
The Passing system is broken. You have no control over the pass I mean if you use the left stick to pass to the right they throw it into the paint to the big guy? Even when I use icons it still sucks. I want to be able to control the type of pass I throw and the power of the pass. In this game there is no difference between average passers and great passers like Steve Nash.
The second reason is that the pick and roll in NBA 2k12 sucks.

This type of thing is not achievable in 2k12 because of the poor passing system and because the pick and roll sucks. Every time I run a pick and roll and could easily throw a wrap around bounce pass to the roll man the point guard throws it into the defender. It really pisses me off.
My third point is that every player plays the same way in my opinion. Every player drives to the basket with a spin move and then up and unders. This is so unrealistic and it cheeses me off because they normally draw a foul. The other move they always do is a step back move and then they pump fake. I've never seen the CPU pump fake so much in an NBA game.
Anyone who says the fast break is great in 2k12 is flat out lying. I've had so many instances where it's been a 2 on 1 fast break and I turned it over. The worse one was when I had a two one one fast break with the showtime Lakers. I was Magic and I had Kareem running in front of me. Terry Porter was the defender. Anytime the Lakers got an opportunity like that in the real life they would always score. But no in 2k I get close to the key go to throw to a 7'2 center over a 6'3 guard with a 6'9 guard what does Magic do? He throws it into Porter.
I'm sorry but this is ridiculous every year we have to wait months for a big patch and even still this kind of stuff won't be fixed. They better add a new pick and roll system and a new passing system in 2k13 because the current systems suck.
