It's been one year since we were all blessed with the God of video game basketball in NBA 2K11, so of course our hype levels were at an all-time high with 2K12 releasing last week. The hype built up so much that we were expecting nothing less than a Jordan-esque legend. But in the end, the game didn't quite live up to all the buzz.

Don't get me wrong, this game is fantastic and a must buy for every basketball fan out there, but we were all expecting a classic. Instead we ended up with a great game, and we're disappointed by the fact. We may be greedy and selfish, but this is what happens when 2K consistently puts out a great product. The expectations become so ridiculously high that they will be near impossible to meet.

So I'm not being negative, the game is the best virtual NBA to date. And it all starts with this little thing, which everyone is falling in love with, called gameplay.

I still haven't fooled around with my player much but from what I hear the trade logic must be pretty bad. The association is still great I think. Greatest Mode is awesome. The Presentation in this game is THE GREATEST I have ever seen. A patch would be much appreciated for MY Player. Once that comes the game gets a 10 in my book.

The gameplay is top notch too

Interesting review, must admit I was believe this game deserves a 9 making it a classic but oh well. I just want this game to get the credit it deserves. To each his own.

Dustin, my last names the same as yours, lets try and get it in the game next year!

I agree with the score. Online would make me go as low as 7 though. It can be that bad.

I feel for the online players, I don't know why 2K can't get this area of the game right.

I agree with this review. This game (atleast offline) is the greatest basketball game ever made.

I agree that this game has some glaring problems but is still worth the price of admission.
