NBA 2K12 review

NBA 2K12 is a basketball video game released on October 4, 2011 for Xbox 360, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, PSP, Wii and PC.

Until the release of NBA 2K12, I had still been playing 2k11. In my opinion it was the best sports game I had ever played, so I found myself wondering would 2K12 be worth buying as I still enjoyed 2k11.I decided to try it out, and I was very happy with what I got. It takes all the things that I didn’t like about 2k11 and makes them great!

They have also improved everything that I love about the game. Like the My Player mode of the game, which is the most popular mode in the game has been greatly improved. What used to be a very long and boring start to the My Player mode is now much faster and more enjoyable. They have cut out the long draft process and made it into one exhibition game where you play as good as you can, followed by this is a series of interviews with teams that are interested in you. After this you will be drafted into a team and start playing in the NBA. Also you start with a higher overall rating so you will be equal to the rest of the rookies in the draft.

Another improvement that has been made is to the Michael Jordan challenges. 2k12 has the NBA’s greatest mode, so Jordan is back but he brought with him other NBA greats like Bill Russel, Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain as well as many others. This mode is awesome; you can play as the 64-65 Lakers with Jerry West before the 3 point line was in the game. They really pulled off the look and the feel of the era by the use of the commentary and score display on the screen. And instead of having to get one player their numbers to complete the challenge, all you need to do is win the game.

While this game is a huge improvement to an already great game, doesn’t mean that it is perfect. There is still some characters that look a bit dodgy, like Kobe Bryant looking like an alien or Steve Nash’s evil looking eyes. And the commentary gets really repetitive if you play as much as I do. But this game is great and I would recommend buying it to anyone.
