All I can say is they better do something AMAZING with it or what would be the point of getting the new one without all the cool Jordan stuff?
Now, if they get all of those incredibly epic Bird vs Magic games in and all of that, I would be jumping all over it more than I was 2k11. Bird is the man and getting to play all of the epic games that Magic and Bird played against each other would truly be the best NBA game ever.
All 2K11 footage, FWIW.
I'm anxious to see what they do after having Jordan last year and how they will fare after record sales for 2K11.
Yeah, I'm still perfectly content with NBA2K11, especially considering it's my first NBA game since, I want to believe, NBA Live 2004 back on the PS2 days. I'm doing just fine with 2K11, even with some of the negatives of it. So they are going to have to seriously WOW me to get me to consider buying it. Especially with the loads of great games that are coming out between September and the end of the 2011 that my money is going to be going towards.
2K11 was my first 2K NBA game, and it definitely sold me.
Yeah I'll definitely pick this up, but I hope the controls are a little smoother as compared to this current version.
2K hoop games are great. I haven't picked up on in recent years but if they brought back College Hoops I would be all over both NBA and CH 2K12.
Or perhaps even better just call it Hoops 2K12 where I could play both the NCAA and NBA on one disc. I'd pay $120 gladly for that game. :nod:
OS' E3 Preview of NBA 2K12
Quote:
Last year at E3, I found out about the new arena-arrival cuts before the game. This year, the new pre-tipoff eye candy comes in the form of dynamic introductions. These are stylized videos with custom music showing off the marquee players of the matchup. It's basically what you see in real NBA broadcasts that tease the upcoming game.
According to producer Erick Boenisch, no two dynamic introduction videos will be the same as each clip shows off your favorite players performing different signature gestures they are known for doing before or during games. Think LeBron James' pregame toss or a Dirk Nowitzki fist pump after he sinks that high-arcing jumper. There's a new presentation package for playoff games with new starting lineup overlays and home crowds donning uniform colors throughout the arena. In addition, there was a "pop-up" promo involving players at the bottom left of the screen used to promote upcoming games. In terms of graphics, much is still unfinished says Erick, but there's an emphasis on re-lighting faces this year. Player faces and facial emotions are much more recognizable even while the ball is in play because of this lighting tweak.

:D No, I usually don't eat dinner until 7:30-8 most nights. But, it's hot enough outside to make your ballsack start sweating a river within seconds, and as there is nothing to really make for dinner at home, I just stopped and picked something up on my way home from work because I have no desire in going back outside again today.Quote:

Man I remember that stuff, though I think that one isn't the one for the AppleII, which was where I first played it.
Yeah... I played it on the Atari 7800. Always loved the janitor guy coming by to sweep up the broken glass... simpler times.Quote:

From MSNBC's Darren Rovell:
NBA2K12 will feature 3 unique covers of Jordan, Magic & Bird.
Damn them. They would do three separate covers. :(
Definitely getting the Bird one http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...KlXBwzeLjXPWcV
Gotta get another Jordan cover :nod:

I woulda been more of a fan of just one cover where Magic is guarding Bird, but by no means is this a bad idea....I love it!Quote:

Maybe they haven't updated it yet...Quote:

Two weeks ago when 2K Sports revealed that three of the greatest NBA players to ever take to the court would be gracing the cover of NBA 2K12, we should have figured there was more to it. Today, 2K Sports revealed a new mode coming to this year's game titled NBA's Greatest. Similar to Jordan Moments from last year, NBA's Greatest lets you play as 15 of the greatest NBA teams in history and re-create some of the best matches ever seen.
http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespo...3_embed005.jpg
These two played in a lot of classic matches throughout the 80s
The mode will play out similarly to last year's game; you will have the ability to re-play various matches and try to complete objectives to unlock additional games. Once unlocked, these Greats and their teams will be available to play against current NBA clubs, opening up the chance to see who is better between Dr. J and Carmelo Anthony, for example.
Matches will be re-created to be as authentic as possible to the time in which they took place. Games will feature commentary that reflects the time frame and that references matches leading to the game in question, and there are promises of extras that should make NBA historians very happy.
Thus far, only five NBA Greats have been confirmed. In addition to Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird, the Philadelphia 76ers' Julius Erving and the Lakers' Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will be featured in the mode. The other 10 players and teams will be revealed at a later date. Regardless of that fact, debates should commence shortly as to which teams and players should be included and which are better left in the past.
http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespo...3_embed002.jpg
Jordan will be joined by 14 other NBA Greats
Anyone who enjoyed playing last year as Michael Jordan should absolutely adore NBA's Greatest. With debates running all the time as to who is, in fact, the greatest NBA player ever, this might at least settle the debate in the virtual world. Expect that once we get our hands on this mode, we'll give you more insight on the teams featured and how the mode plays out.
YES!
Magic vs Bird ALL DAY!
Hope they get enough rights to the role players on the teams to keep it as real as possible. That was the one disappointing thing about the Jordan Moments was seeing fake players on the rosters because they weren't able to get the rights from everyone on the team to recreate them in the game.
I dunno why Amazon doesn't have it where you can choose the cover you want yet :fp:
