In looking over the NBA 2K12 details from Gamestop, it looks like we'll see over 1,000 new animations and building off of NBA Today, more graphical details with dynamic updates.

With over 5 million copies sold worldwide and over 20 Sports Game of Year awards, last year NBA 2K11 allowed you to BECOME THE GREATEST with MJ & the Jordan Challenge mode. This year the NBA 2K franchise is back and bigger than ever, providing fans with the opportunity they've always dreamed of - to finally END THE DEBATE as to who are the best teams and players of all time with the ALL-NEW NBA's Greatest mode. Featuring 15 legendary players such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Dr. J, NBA's Greatest let you relive some of NBA's most celebrated careers and rivalries, painstakingly recreated in historical detail. In addition, several innovative gameplay features have been added putting fans center court of an unprecedented basketball experience.
NBA 2K12 will ship with one of the three following cover athlete's images: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird. Cover will be chosen at random as the game ships.

All that is great, but if they have failed to remove or reduce suction I'll be highly disappointed.

People who will be updating the visual for the NBA today updates will be sick and tired of Gilbert Arenas if he does what he did last year. Changed sneakers like every other game.

Wow, it only took one post for someone to pull the old "That info is nice, but if (insert gameplay concern here) isn't fixed, it won't matter".

Anyways, these NBA Today additions sound interesting, if they're updated regularly. I wonder if the player models being dynamic now means they'll update hairstyles and things of that nature over the course of the season. I know that's a big deal for many around here!

Re: New NBA Today updates include...

I think it does update hair, and will it still work even if there is a lockout?

Re: New NBA Today updates include...

I'm not sure how they could possibly update anything if there's no season!

Disappointing to think my Raptors will start the season with their typically off ratings, and with no season they won't see the improvements from DeMar, Bayless, Davis, etc.

It still early so it hasn't really hit me yet that there will be no basketball this year. Ugh.

Why does evryone think there will be no basketball. Sure the season could be cut down, but you can't think of real pull of the season till the month of the deadline or so.

Good to hear this, hopefully they keep it in for 2K13.

Re: New NBA Today updates include...

no more generic kicks? I'm guessing that the only players that get the visual update will be the big stars....I hope that's not the case

Even if the season started in October their ratings would be based on last year's performance, so there's no change.
