How would you rate NBA2K12's gameplay? 1-10

[SwaggerCoach]

Curious to see how you guys would rate NBA2K12's gameplay.

This recent thread:

http://www.operationsports.com/forums/nba-2k/534481-50-ways-beat-cpu-become-better-2k-player-overall-sovartus.html

...inspired me to run this poll because there seems to be a bit of a discrepancy among the community. Some of us think the game is adequately challenging and offers a fun experience, and some of us think the game is completely broken. And then there is a full range of opinions in between.

I would like to know something very simple: on a scale of 1-10, how would you rate this year's gameplay? This could apply to offline gameplay against the CPU, online against a human, my player mode, etc. However YOU play the game the most, rate your gameplay experience 1-10.

Keep this in mind: the LAST thing I want to do is to start arguments here. If you disagree with what someone posted, don't respond by attacking the person. I'd like to see a healthy discussion among us where both sides bring evidence to the table for justifying their rating. There are no wrong answers - just opinions.

Curious to see where the game "averages" in the community's opinion. So...thoughts?

I went "7". I think the game plays beautifully the majority of the time, but there's always a point during the game where you're saying to yourself "Really? Really!?!" That's what keeps it from being an 8 or 9. It happens so often it's hard to ignore.

This is a great example of a solid poll - you rarely see that here anymore.

The gameplay, focused on my experience with how the CPU handles itself and my teammates is a 7. In terms of my control offensively it is an 8 or 9. Defensively it is a 6 or 7.

I still enjoy the game, however. I just think it needs a few tweaks/additions in some areas.

Same here, which is why I voted 7.

I voted 7 as well...

7. Though some games on All-Star play like a 5.5. Tweaked with sliders brings it close to an 8 or 8.5.

For reference 2k11 was about an 8.5.

Agree with Pared that offensive control is about an 8 to 9. Player and shot control is very very nice this year.

Couldnt agree more.

I'm stuck between a 6 and a 7. Game does some things right but some things terribly wrong. Like Pared mentioned the defensive controls don't feel all that tight. Offense flows beautifully at times but the defensive side of the ball needs work.

Get the torches ready... I voted 10. Now hear me out. I did this based on my month with the PC version and its mods. I have 10% faster dunks and somewhere in my mods I downloaded something that was kinda like a slider set. Been playing nonstop and I haven't quit out of frustration once. Yesterday I got my dad to play me on my laptop and the first thing he said was he had more control. This I found to be very true. The controls are super responsive (iso move speed mod? can't remember) and post moves are easier to execute. Every once in a while I'll have moment when LeBron turns into Kobe and I'm like BLAH!!!, but overall this is a perfect game.

I have to say 5. Defense against the CPU is too frustrating and I hate when my cpu controlled team mates do stupid stuff like run away and leave a 3 shooter open for no reason or run right in front of me on a break and make me lose the ball. Also its crazy to see my point guard have a clear path to the basket after a steal and a slower player will not only catch up to me but get in front of me. I saw some of this stuff in other 2ks but not as bad as this year.

Interesting replies so far...sounds like the PC version is quite a different experience than the consoles.

I voted nine. Just really overall enjoy the game very much, but their are a few things that need some not major tweaks.

Don't take my vote too heavily. I haven't played it without mods since I've had it, so IDK about the defaut game. I'm sure it is still better than the consoles though.

When i first got the game, i'll give it a 7. I couldn't find the perfect rosters / sliders.

After i downloaded the Sim experience roster by yak and yells, i'll give it a respectable 8, mainly because the gameplay plays way better.
