NBA 2K12 Thread

[morsdraconis]

I'm excited for the possibilities of 2k12. If nothing else, I know I'm going to get a TON of play out of the My Player and Association stuff if the Online Association portion turns out to be garbage.

I should have mine sometime tomorrow as well, hopefully.

Yeah, getting the game here on release day, and not randomly picking it up in the middle of May, I'll be able to get a ton more playtime out of it than I did in 2K11. Unfortunately for 11, it had to share time with NCAA, the three Assassin's Creed games, L.A. Noire, and others.

Right now, there are no games coming out that I'm buying until the end of the month, so I'll have all month to dedicate solely towards 2K12 before other games start getting released and steal some time here and there from 2K12. So I should have plenty of time to get very deep into My Player and offline Association this time around.

I'm going to go ahead and assume the fact it's taking a really long ass time to connect online means I shouldn't hold my breath on online being a quality experience.

[SmoothPancakes]

Why does that not sound surprising.

Those motherfuckers. As of 6:09 AM ET (40 minutes ago), this is the status of my game according to UPS tracking.

The package was left in a UPS facility. / Forwarded to the facility in the destination city.

Those fuckers better get that thing shipped up here from Indianapolis today as I went with the release day shipping option from Amazon.

Edit - Something gives me a feeling it will for sure not be showing up today. I've now completely lost the "On time" and Delivery Estimate on the UPS Web Tracking. It's no longer even showing a Delivery Estimate at all. Just says In Transit and shows Indianapolis on Tuesday 10/04/2011 as the Last Location.

God I hope this isn't about to become a repeat of Tiger Woods 12. That damn thing took over a week from the date of release for it to arrive from UPS and Amazon.

Words can not describe how much I hate blind matchmaking. First NBA 2k11 did it. Then Madden 12 did it. Now NBA 2k12 does it again. Come on, NCAA, you do it, too. It's such a HORRIBLE idea. Oh well, I wont have time to play until tonight, so fingers crossed they improved the online connection quality by a lot.

[ram29jackson]

any other observations etc, game-wise ?

[JBHuskers]

I won't be able to get to it til about 9 or so tonight....will post some thoughts as CDJ and I are going to play a couple of games to test out quarter lengths and what not for the Online Association.

I had planned on renting a copy today until I get paid, but of course UPS didn't deliver its shipment yesterday, like they do every other Tuesday. Of all days, when you have NBA 2K12, Rage, Spiderman: Edge of Time, and Dark Souls all releasing on the same day, you would think efficiency would be stressed

So I heard that not only can you not change the sliders on Online Association, but you can't change settings either. I guess that will make it easier to get through a season

I just don't have time to run to a store and get my Larry Bird cover today. at not being able to order the cover you want on Amazon.

I went on Amazon Help Chat and asked if there was anything I could do to get the Bird cover. They notated something, we'll see if that worked. Not holding my breath.

[JBHuskers]

According to Pasta. Server problems (no surprise), but worse on PS3 than 360.

[bdoughty]

I am waiting for mine to show up (UPS is a touch slow in the boonies here) but if I somehow get a Bird cover and someone wants it, I will mail the cover to you.

Yeah I might just wait until I just happen to be near a video game store. Its not like Amazon is selling it on sale or anythign either and I can use my credits for UCIII

[bdoughty]

I got the Magic cover. Beats getting stuck with Jordan I guess.

Online Server is definitely borked. 2ksports server not available a this time. I just wanted to enter a freaking code to access my exclusive teams but one must be logged into the 2k server to do so.

Overnight the 2K community manager said the team had a 'breakthrough' and that the online issues should improve.

Any thoughts so far?

[SmoothPancakes]

Thank God, I'll actually have this game today. Now that the idiots at UPS actually were able to get my game shipped out of Indianapolis last night (since for whatever reason they weren't able to ship it out on Monday night when they should have), and it got into town this morning at 7:30 after arriving from Columbus, I'll finally have it today. Release day shipping my ass.

Define 'breakthrough'.
