NBA 2K12 Is Giving You a Warm Welcome

Not too warm however. We wouldn't want you to burst into flames and become some sort of basketball demigod.

NBA2k Series has always put out great games with great graphics (unlike what some people seem to think on here). An example of a sport simulation game done right

This is false. The player models look no where near the realm of awful. You must have a terrible video card

WHAT?! dude.

Anyways, one of the best sports games I've played with NHL 12 coming in second and I fucking hate hockey but love starting random ass fights when the other team pisses me off and wants to start crap. If only the Madden team would take notes from this game... =|

@Cloneslayer: YES ROSE for MVP! I bought it during the steam sale for.. I think 16$. Pretty great so far. The models are incredibly detailed from the faces and haircuts down to the tattoos. The coach models leave something to be desired but whatever, I can live with that. It plays pretty well, a little slippery when running around but you get used to it.

The game is great except it punsishes you for playing well. The further ahead you get, the more you will miss perfect shots.

Sounds vaguely like Ace Combat music.

I just wish they'd fix the speed issues. No way a center with 65 spd should catch a guard with 95 spd, on a breakaway, and yet it happens.

Fix this and the game will be even better. Get to it, 2k! Miami needs to shine on the fastbreak!

I don't play many sports games but I can say 2K12 is pretty awesome. I played on Christmas with one of my friends (which was the season opener this year) and they put a lot of extra content into it for the start of the new season.

This is one of those games that as a fan of the sport and video games, you can really get behind. One of the best games of 2011 and one of the best sports games in years.

Edit: almost forget.... Go Bulls! Rose for 11/12 MVP!
