NBA 2K12 release date is TODAY! Who is getting it?

[ballup]

They will only be a part of 2K's initial shipment. After that, it's all Michael Jordan.

Can you link the source?

The guy at Gamestop refused to give me the Magic cover, saying that it was a preorder bonus. Im pretty sure that's bullshit but I didn't feel like arguing with him so I just took the Jordan one..

He was BSing you. Sorry 'bro

They totally re-did Dirk. It's about time. In 2K11 his basic jumpshot made it so he always stepped on the 3point line while shooting. The new shoot is more compact and quicker to release.

I unlocked MJ but got my azz handed to me on a platter by Dominique and Shaq, respectively while trying to unlock Bird & Ewing.

Also found it funny that Dirk's "clutch" rating was 95 while LBJ's was 60 (I think it was 60)

Lastly, what are the chances of 2K releasing Barkley as DLC if they happen to sign him after the fact?

Nothing else really matters 'bro. The further you get into the playoffs the clutcher the situation. Ratings are accurate IMO. LBJ choked big time & Dirk had big brass ones.

Hope this is some marketing ploy.

If I'm lucky, the masses will demand more of the Bird/Magic covers and 2k will be forced to continue to supply them.

No, it is not BS. That was the perk of preordering the game. You got to decide which cover you wanted. There is a limited supply of Bird and Magic so that's why they can't hand those out to anyone.

Can someone explain to me why LeBron has an A- outside shot in this game and Kobe has a B+ ? It's pretty obvious to me Kobe is the better outside shooter.. no?

I thought Lebron's shooting percentage was higher.

I heard the game has a new lockout feature where everything freezes up and you can't play anymore. Pretty cool.

Yeah.

kobe's ****ed up fingers have definitely affected his percentages the past couple years though.

Yeah its affected his shooting and handles over the years.
