"Feels like a completely different basketball game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

2k12 has enhanced controls and the AI has been upgraded so that they are more realistic eg they steal the ball when the ball actually comes in front of them, also the new NBA's greatest mode is awesome as you get to play with players like Wilt Chamberlain and Larry Bird

"A must have for sports fans"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

NBA 2k12 in one word is flawless. Well maybe not quite, but it isn't far from it. The gameplay is an improvement from NBA 2k11. My player mode is more in depth and a lot more engaging. The AI is smarter, trust me every bad pass will be punished and most likely result in a turnover. You now have a lot more control over your team as well. Being able to change shots whilst in mid air, better control over the player at the post and better control of the player in general.

Now the reason I say NBA 2k12 isn't quite flawless is due to online. The servers are not too good, the new promising Association Online hasn't hit off with a bang (yet).

If you're buying this just for the online, I'd advise for you to be very weary. The online services are not too good at all. Not terrible but not flawless either.

Overall NBA 2k12 is a must buy for a sports mad gamer. However I would suggest staying away if you are an owner of 2k11 and just play it for a bit of a bash (casual games) the improvements will be too minimal for you to be able to consider it as a wise purchase. That being said the improvements for hardcore fans are noticeable and worthwhile.

I've babbled on enough. NBA 2k12 is truly the best sports game and a must have for your collection.

"Pre-ordered but came with no DLC code" Purchased on Mighty Ape

I pre-ordered this game in order to receive a DLC code for Kings & Warriors teams. Today, I picked up the game but it didn't come with any DLC code. I was given an explanation by the staff that they had run out of codes for PS3 version because 2K didn't supply them enough. I am planning to adjust the rating once I receive the code but until then I can only give one star.

"Awesome " Purchased on Mighty Ape

Never Played 2K11. Have always played the NBA Live games back in the day. 2K12 is so much better. Lots of different game modes. So during the lock out. Buy this game and get locked In

"NBA 2K12 is the nuts!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

NBA 2K12 is simply the best basketball game I have played. The game play is the most realistic it has ever been, the atmosphere is likened to that of real NBA coverage you see on TV and the AI and graphics are fantastic (even if they still made Kobe semi-invincible). Plenty of different game modes and online play options only add to the positives that this game delivers to NBA and basketball fans in general. Beware though as it is highly addictive, but a good way to spend your time locked in while the real NBA is locked out.

"Love it."

Perfect game, good for time at NBA locked out.

"NBA 2K12 is a slam dunk!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I could never play in the NBA. Even if you forgive the fact that I'm significantly shorter than 7'2", and possess a jumpshot that's eerily similar to watching a pillowcase full of Jell-O get dropped from a roof in slow motion, there's no hope for me. Luckily, I can realize that dream through video games, and few titles allow me to do so with more simulated perfection than NBA 2K12.

First time I used this site and I have to say its amazing , great price and fastest postage. This game is great too although I wish they did something more with blacktop like 2k11.

"Best 2k game yet " Purchased on Mighty Ape

Just arrived this morning..and love it already…as with 2k11 smooth gameplay…some little tweak's that make it even better…love the old school vintage teams and players…even has a nice new training camp mode which takes you through all the basic's (shooting layup's etc)…o­verall a excellent game with little improvements that go along way to make it even more fun to play 9/10…wicked game
