First off, decent game, decent Soundtrack, great dribbling controls. But I personally believe they took a step back in the graphics, but whatever its about the gameplay that matters right?... well, if you can take the CPU having a great advantage over you, shooting 3's in your face, the ball going through your hands with a block attempt, or what I like to call "peanut butter defense" & the CPU tampering with your player movement often, than this is the game for you! :) this game has so many flaws Im suprised they even are allowed to publish this glitching masterpiece. when playing you'll often find your user controlled team playing like "absolute retards" while the CPU plays with absolutely no flaws. Meaning perfect ball movement, executing the fastbreak perfectly, or even swating your ball 95% of the time. It gets highly fustrating. Not to mention playing on the toughest level of gameplay (Hall Of Fame) is not even a competition. regardless of who you play with YOU WILL NEVER WIN FAIR & SQUARE! If the CPU drives in for a Dunk/Layup their either gonna make it & get the foul, dunk on you and frustrate you even more, or miss it & get the foul. you will never block their Dunk/Layup straightup! Also the CPU makes fastbreaks look way to easy. Executing a fastbreak just under 5 seconds! the CPU catches everything. And you can never outplay the CPU! Sorry 2k Sports but Im not wasting my hard earned cash to buy a rigged basketball game ever again..

By far the worst nba game i have ever played. this game is terrible do not buy it. If you run into your team mate when you have the ball the ball gets knock loose. NO ONE can hit a jump shot and when you take the ball into the paint your center gets blocked all the time by the other teams point guard. the cpu allows pump fakes into a foul. or they will drive and get fouled. this game sucks.

this game is the best basket ball game of 2012. and 2k makes amazing basketball games. its the best of its kind.
The game's more realistic, the graphics are better and the intro to the games are good expect for the fist pumping that gets annoying. The players look just as the real players, they have good reactions when they get fouled or hit the last second shot. Playing a quick game is not as easy in 2k11. You miss easy lay-ups and passing the ball is hard. Try passing it to a open teammate watch as it gets stolen. My Player 2K11 was good but 2k12 kinda ruined it. Create a jumpshot is not as easy as it sounds the only good thing about it is that your player gets a contract and more endorsements. It's a good buy tho!
