[QUOTE=swi7ch]It plays like an actual game and that makes it soooooooo addicting! For the first time in a bball game I don't have to just jump to grab the rebound but I actually have to box out!
This boggles my mind because that's ultra realistic! :eek:[/QUOTE]
Demo or full game?
the presentation looks AMAZING
looks fantastic
Enjoys Video Games? Check
Enjoys Basketball? Check
Well meets all my criteria, opening day buy for me for sure.
[quote=Clippersfan86]Demo or full game?[/quote]
full game
must watch: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=U85dkCRHplM[/url]
It looks like an awesome game. When I was playing 2k11 I was thinking how awesome 2k12 is going to be, and all the features I loved in 2k11 were going to be even better in 2k12. I pre-ordered mine earlier this month, hopefully I'll be able to get the one with Magic Johnson on the cover. :cheers:
Judging from the demo. The gameplay is so smooth and way more life like in regards to player movements. The ball is more live and we have total shot stick control.
The retail version is definitely gonna be banana's. Classic teams. Shaq and Penny, the 91 warriors, 87 lakers, 98 lakers, 93 bulls... Oh my.
I can't wait to get my hands on this game. I have no doubt it's going to be the ssshhhhhhh. :D
A 9.5 rating isn't surprising at all and i've only played the demo a few times.
The game looks so much different on consoles and on PC...

smh @ Drake's ignorance.
I really hope that was a scripted for him.

Ok why isn't Dennis Scott in the Magic starting line up?:facepalm
Lol what happened to the NBA Live/"Elite" franchise? are they even releasing a game for this year?
[QUOTE=AirTupac]Not buying. :pimp:[/QUOTE]
:lol
I really wish they would get rid of Clark Kellogg from the game, and just have Harlan and Steve Kerr.
Who cares what some "professional" reviewer says about a game. They play them for 1 hour at the absolute most not to mention companies give them perks for good reviews.
Player reviews are the only ones that matter.

EA Sports backed out and "folded" the franchise. They just can't compete with 2K in basketball game right now.

EA is planning to have their NBA game (whatever name they decide to put to it) in 2012. It still will be 2k's reign though. No matter how hard EA works, it won't be easy to re-gain a market they gave up once. → [URL="http://kotaku.com/5837255/peter-moore-ea-sports-nba-game-will-take-a-few-years-before-it-competes-with-nba-2k"]link[/URL]
I f*cking hate that next week I'm going to be out of the country :rant
Timing wise pre-order is not important. Does anyone knows if there's any other advantage to preorder (special editions)?

Not 2012, maybe the year after. They said this year it will take a few years. Next year is not a few years.

You may already know, but the first shipments will have three different cover options (Magic, Larry, or Michael). Further, they will come with the '91 Warriors and '02 Kings.

From all I've read, EA is planning for fall 2012. The link I provided says it will take a few years [I]before it competes with 2k[/I].

Nope, thanks for the info. I had completely given up on preordering, might reconsider :D

Nope. I linked an article from a few weeks ago in the OTC section.
[url]http://technology.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474980170229[/url]
"The franchise apparently needs a few more seasons on the injured list, as [B]EA's chief operating officer Peter Moore announced that there likely won't be a new basketball sim from the company until 2013 or 2014[/B]."
We'll be lucky if that's even true. I think EA just doesn't have it in them to admit defeat. They will probably keep promising and hiding. Last year they were supposed to release Elite... and backed down because the demo got ripped to shreds. Then they promised this year they would return strong and didn't even show. Trust me dude.. Live/Elite has been KO'd.
Right now they are trying their best to recover assets by feeding off our nostalgia and releasing NBA Jam games.
But is it as good as Mario Galaxy 2?

EA cops alot of flack (usually deserved) but they're doing a great thing here. By not just releasing a game they're showing they do actually care. They could just throw out some halfassed product and still sell units but they're willing to take the time to make something good....... hopefully.
Not buying the game now because of Drake.

Interesting. Both articles quote the same interview.
Simply put: [URL="http://technology.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474980170229"]your link[/URL] refers to [URL="http://kotaku.com/5837255/peter-moore-ea-sports-nba-game-will-take-a-few-years-before-it-competes-with-nba-2k"]this link[/URL] in kotaku, which at the same time puts [URL="http://kotaku.com/5837255/peter-moore-ea-sports-nba-game-will-take-a-few-years-before-it-competes-with-nba-2k"]this interview[/URL] as source. And in that interview, Peter Moore says there [B]will be a NBA game coming in 2012[/B] from EA. I don't even care if EA is coming back or not, but it was fun tracking the sources. My conclussion, the dude that wrote the article you linked to (for which I don't blame you), didn't even check his sources and/or seriously lacks reading skills.
And you are right, EA got knocked out in NBA games. They have so many other succesfull titles you would think they should just give it up. But those NBA licenses which they still hold are way too expensive to just leave them unused. But again, regaining the lost market won't be easy (which is exactly what the articles are saying anyway).
Definitely see why people would be confused. I think EA is contradicting themselves and blowing smoke. They need to bow out gracefully.
i need to pre-order 2k
I'm picking it up for sure, but I'm going to wait a couple weeks. I bought 2K11 on release day at full price ($59.99) and a week later it was on sale everywhere for $39.99,

Not really. They always throw out a half-assed product and move units with Madden every year. If they had the NBA license exclusively the way they have the NFL licence, they would definitely just release a new edition every year with nothing more than roster updates, just like Madden. But 2K is so far ahead of anything they could do that they're just not going to try.

I'm glad that 2K is wrecking them. I was pissed off when EA snagged an exclusive license for the NFL.

I did the same thing, and NBA2k11 was, hands down, the most enjoyable 60 bucks I've EVER spent on a game. Any game that makes me want to record and re-watch clips of is worth every penny. :oldlol:
I guess the video forum was deleted?

How do you give them props and credit for not putting out a basketball game until 2013, or 2014 even? That doesnt show me they actually care it shows me that they saw its competitor 2k kick their ass. And how far behind they are in stealing 2k fans to get them to buy their product.
Its sucks that ISH doesnt have video games section....
cool
posted this 2 days ago and you delete and repost? haha
i wonder if Drake really believes what he said (that Bird diss and implying that he couldn't hang today) or if he was just following a script.
Drake = :facepalm
Brian Wilson = :D
Mark Cuban = :rockon:
Jordan = :pimp:
