2K Sports Has Done It Again!
By Aaron Mitchell
Ok, so no need for numerous imagination intro, lets dive right into the good stuff! Alright, so NBA 2K is always improving, and that will never change. All these new features added each year makes this franchise the biggest in sports gaming. The most betterment Ive seen was in the my player mode. It has gotten so in depth it is not even funny. Now, the draft picks are more elaborated in that you actually have pre draft consultations which makes this game a lot more realistic. On top of that, the dialog of your player is much more believable. What i mean is that, the voice of your player doesn’t sound like a good deal of cheesy staged reputation who only speaks when spoken to, but rather has his own personality and style. Since we are on the topic of dialog, i will likewise like to mention the commentary for the duration of game play. They have unquestionably added galore new phrases and speeches, so you won’t have to listen the same “whoa!” each time you make a slam dunk. The my player or “career” mode is exceedingly fun and has bettered very much over the past year. Take it from me, your going to take pleasure in this game mode 10x more. Now, If you thought playing through Michael Jordan’s career was challenging and fun, wait until you get a hold of Larry Bird’s, Magic Johnson’s, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s, Dr. J’s and more. These game modes unquestionably add to the overall experience of the game. I just love how you are never fixed to just one thing in NBA 2K, but are exposed to a great deal of things which elaborates the horizons of NBA 2K12. It is an sheer guarantee that you’ll never get bored playing this game. Lastly, Ill talk about distinct features on the graphical scale. I do not forget flipping out and a good deal of times fooling my parents into thinking this was a *real* basketball game in 2k11. Now, even I think it is a *real* basketball game when playing 2K12. I didn’t think graphics could become this advanced. I guess I was wrong. Players on the court have their own personalities and don’t act as if they are just another CPU while playing. Facial expressions are always varying and match up with each emotion for the duration of the game. Whether it be a bad call or a hard foul, the facial expressions are on point. Even the stadium has a sure realistic glow and feel to it. The atmosphere of the fans makes you feel like you are at the real game. There are not sufficient words to describe how astonished and impressed i am with these graphics. This is something you unquestionably have to see for yourself. Because this is a written review, of course, I can not go over each last game mode and spec of NBA 2k12. Just take my word for it, You will not be disappointed. Overall, this game will blow your mind. It offers each thing you could ask for and more in a sports game. I’d unquestionably commend this game to anybody looking for an astounding basketball gaming experience.

Words just can’t describe it!!!…
By D. Young
I just want to say, I had a heap of reserves when it comes to this year’s title. I liked last year’s 2K11 but I could not seem to genuinely get into the game much. Honestly, I think last year’s version was more difficult overall. So far I have tried to unlock the Dr. J challenge and was unsuccessful…lol Even thought I didn’t win to unlock his challenge it was still fun to play. Those old school players still “got game” they may ball. I had so much fun with the Legends and My Player modes that I haven’t even touched the regular game modes yet. I have officially been drafted in My Player, I had a ball creating my players each nook and cranny…very elaborated and so much fun. You may construct your players complexion, height, weight, eye color, facial hair, muscular physique, tatoos, instrumentation ie braces, bands, headbands, socks and sneakers (name brand w/ player endorsed footwear) I have the 2011 Hyperdunks Gray/Black/Red. I was also competent to create my players signature style and moves. After I did all of that, I was entered into a pre-draft all-star game being watched by NBA team scouts. I did gorgeous good 24pts.,(3)rebounds,(2)assists,(4)steals and(4)fouls…yikes. All of your stats are on the top right side of the screen so you may keep an eye on your progress and you likewise get graded A by way of F. The commentators are hard on you if you mess up and will praise you to death if your doing well, they will make remarks regarding if you are draft material or not. This game has a lot of pressure centered around it…all for the best I guess. After this game was over I had(3)interviews one with the Pacers, Suns and the 76ers. I was drafted round (1) pick 13 by the Phoenix Suns. You would have thought I was drafted in real life… it was so exciting. I could go on for ever with regards to the fun I had playing in My Player mode.
I am not the biggest NBA 2K player by far, but now I have some motivation to go to the next level and undertake to get better and be competitive. I thought last year’s 2K 11 was ground breaking, but the critics were right this game is by far the best game of all of the NBA 2K series. It makes you wonder what is in store for next year’s edition. FYI, I read that because of the current NBA lockout; 2K Sports was forbidden to put any of the current NBA players on the cover of this year’s edition (NBA 2K 12). Personally I like the Legends being on the covers. I like the fact that this year, you may choose (1) out of (3) Legends on your copy of the game, that is Michael Jordan, Larry Bird or Erving “Magic” Johnson. All and all this game is worth it to buy, I don’t suggest you rent it because you will have to send it back, JUST BUY IT!!!
