I'm expecting NBA 2K12 to be a better game then NBA 2K11. With that being said, I don't think it will sell more units and I expect it to have lower review scores as well. IMO, there is nothing that 2K can do to prevent this. The lack of competition this year WILL cause some reviewers and gamers to charge 2K with resting on their laurels just on general principle and not after a thorough evaluation of the game.

I think the people they say 2K11 is overrated probably arent that good at the game, since whatever exploits you used in previous games dont work now

The game also got extreme boosts for the Jordan content.

VERY confident in 2k12... ive been confident since 2k4

Agree! 2k11 IMO is the best bball game ever! I beat the ish out of people because they soooo many people want to cheese and exploit and once u stop their exploits, they are lost. If u play "SIM" style, u will be rewarded and you can enjoy the game for how its meant to be enjoyed. 2k aint arcady and it isnt a dunk fest and cross over war like a NBA Live. Nothing is wrong with 2k dribbling system either. I pull off every move with virtual ease

[Bolt957]

This is a rhetorical question. OF COURSE I'm confident in 2K to have 2K12 better than whatever EA Sports attempts to sell for the NBA.

As far as NBA games goes, I only played Live series in 90s before 2k11. Just bought 2k11 because of Jordan addition. So I'm not familiar with what kind reputation 2K team had in the past

but what I can say is that other developers would have made Jordan challenge a DLC that will cost easily 15 bucks. But they didn't. That counts for me.

haha "other" developers...

I agree with the poeple that have said 2k11 is the best NBA Game ever made... The people that don't like it are probably the same people that enjoyed crossing people over with Eric Snow and posterizing Kevin Garnet on NBA Live... (seen it done) <<<--- I've personally Saw this happen while watching my buddies play NBA Live... If thats your definition of "sim" than be my guest and play NBA Live to your hearts desire... 2k, makes a "sim" basketball game, and people that don't "understand" basketball or know how the game "should" be played, are the same people that will hate on the game...

I meant to say "any other" developers would have charge us at least 15 bucks. 2K guys didn't take advantage on that and that's really great. So I think they will work hard on the next release if this is the attitude.

It's ironic how you have to either be a cheeser or have no basketball knowledge if you dislike 2K11. I agree that 2K11 is the best basketball game ever made. However, that doesn't mean that it's flawless. In fact, the weak points of the game are fundamental issues that a game of it's quality should not have. And the reason why I'm not confident in 2K12 is because we see the same problems year after year. I doubt 2K12 will be any different.

I've never picked up any sports game and hadn't seen ridiculous flaws in the very first game I played in a quick match. The list only grows the minute I start a franchise. That's not to say I haven't played some GREAT games but all this "only haters say this games isn't perfect" stuff is nonsense.

Wow, that means EA Sports is going to have pay for the license this year and simply eat those licensing fees. Incredible.

I find it funny that even when EA does not create a basketball game they still get the benefit of the doubt that they will produce something amazing when they eventually do, but 2k creates the best basketball game ever and it is considered overrated, really overrated, no game will be flawless so having flaws does not make it overrated. 2k does not have a history of being lazy so I don't expect them to all of a sudden acquire that habit, I see 2k using this time to push the limits of their game so that when EA does release a game the people loyal to that franchise will have permanently converted to 2k fans.
