After 3 Month Layoff, NBA 2K11 Cracks Top 20 Most Played on 360 - Week of Jan. 16

[Dalsanto0026]

I prefer 2K11. The gameplay took a step backwards in 2K12 imo. The defensive ai is pretty ordinary this year.

I played 2K12 for about a week before putting it away, yet I continue to play 2K11.

Come to think of it, I could pop in NBA2k11 and wont even miss 2k12...

Lack of association upgrades isnt helping..

2k11
++Modes and features
++cpu AI was better imo
++ONLINE was more stable
- to many pre determine animations (spin & post spin dunk) (euro step) bunny hop under basket

2k12
++less cheese or unstoppable tactics online like 2k11
++fluid animations
++can pretty much contain cheese this year with skill
- less modes and features (no online lobbies)
- no leagues or tournaments
-this is by far the most boring offline association yet (maybe because it was copied and paced since 2k10)
-no classic online friend play
-online association is bar bone
-my player is not great to me this year


The good outweighed the bad in 2k11. 2k12 there's a really thin line between good and bad

AND THERE'S DEFENSE IN THIS GAME YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO PLAY IT...

IMO THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT DEFENSE & RREBOUNDING WITH OUT IT YOU JUST WONT WIN ONLINE OR OFFLINE

2K11 is a great game, but the playbook depth alone in 2K12 is the reason why I can't go back to it.

Agreed...whenever I play 2k11 I just end up free flowing my way to victory. In 2k12 I just love calling plays and it makes it more fun for me.

Its funny, I've been saying 2k11 was better all year, and it still may edge out this years game in areas....but when I popped it in, I missed 2k12 lol....I didn't realize until now how annoying 2k11s bumping was....

2k12 really did make a lot of improvements that are hard to see because of some glaring flaws...but now that I've found the right settings I really am enjoying it..

Because of the Jordan Challenge alone I held on to 2k11. Very cool and unique. I always trade in the previous 2k for the next but this is the 1st time I did not.

Still haven't finifshed that....I had to start a new association though and went with 2K12....still gog 11 though and need to finish that Jordan Challenge.

I still play my fantasy franchise on 2k11 for ps3 pretty often. I do play play 2k12 on pc though, I dont know why but the pc version of 2k12 just seems to much a better game of basketball than the ps3 version even without patches.

I guess my point is I enjoy both, but I can see why folks are stil playing 2k11

I traded my nba 2k12 for deus ex human revolution and picked back up nba 2k11 in a buy 2 get 1 free sale. The reason for me is online.

The online association in 2k12 just became frustrating with no admin options and timer rundown. Then there are no lobbies in 2k12 where in 2k11 you could play a non ranked match and have more teams being selected with games being less played like its the end of the world if you dont win.

Single player vs cpu in 2k12 became non existent because of the issues of cpu boosting and holding shots untill the shot clock was about to expire. This is where human vs human became important to me. But the online structure was poorly constructed in 2k12 which lead to me trading it away. I felt a sense of relief when i no longer had the game.

2k11 was fantastic and I spent a LOT of time playing it
However, I do like 2k12 better, I've not spent as much time with it, but I have a lot of things in gaming to this year compared to last year. For example, last I pretty much only had 2k11 to play, played a little of of CH2k8
but this year right after 2k12 came out I started playing a bunch of other games right around that same time. Right now I have a 7 game rotation going on, back when 2k11 was new I had like a 3-4 game rotation at the most.
Still like 2k12 a little better though
better camera angles, bigger scoreboard, more variety of legendary teams/players, presentation is better.

i had to get nba2k11 back and download mrash33 rosters ....man good time....

People are playing 2k11 because they never bought 2K12 with there not being a season and all. It's funny how all these people are acting like this is proof positive of 11 being a better game. Non basketball fans / Jordan fans got 11 and had no intention of buying 12 with no season. So when season start they get the itch again and pop in 11. This has little to do with 11 being better(which its not, it's just preference and comfort.)

I think 2k12 is far better offline than 2k11 was, but online, there's so many stupid things that happen. I find myself yelling at the game half the time I try to play online even when I'm winning lol. My Player was a huge improvement in 2k12 though. I couldn't handle playing more than a few games of it in 2k11, but I'm almost done with my 3rd season in 2k12.

idk im enjoying 2K12 waaaayyy more then I did 2K11. One- ball D was to easy to play on 2K11 with all that contact and lateral speed. in 2K12 you have to actually work on D on once you get it down pack (like i have) you can do some pretty special things. The offense is even better in 2K12 because of the lack of cheese tactics and just the overall fluidness of how you can run it. I just like the gameplay better as a whole. So many tools is given to you on both side of the ball.

[DJ]

Nothing wrong with playing BOTH games, imo. 2K11 I keep in my rotation because of all the excellent Classic Rosters, and 2K12 I use to play NBA Today games with the SimWorld roster and Ronyell's slider set.
