NBA 2K12 Review: Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks

[Jimmortality]

Have you already noticed some glitches like in Nba 2k11?

the game looks fine, but i'm not ready yet to give up my 89 overall player from the last game :p

I might wait till 2k13.

[ShakeDown2012]

@Jimmortality that's not a bad idea actually. Your my player doesn't transfer over and there is no Crew mode.

[illmatic826]

its just gonna get better & better every year!

[Beatles4office]

MELO made these beats!!!!!!! hes my Call of Duty Wii buddy

[ShakeDown2012]

@Beatles4office MELO is the MAN! Love that guys beats.

[illShowYouEPIC]

@ShakeDown2012 What style is your player and position? Plzz Reply

[ShakeDown2012]

@illShowYouEPIC Athletic SG. But that's no more. I've started a new one.

[023jordan1]

i want to copy your player,but i cant cuz its too fast...

[lalakersballer1]

this game is complete crap everything 2k did good in 2k11 they left out of this game. in my player the whole lakers team was traded except for kobe wtf

[ShakeDown2012]

@lalakersballer1 I feel you bro.

[Lonestar327]

Ive notice how frustrating this game is, maybe its just me, but driving is impossible,but its no problem for the computer, and no matter what defense your in or how you play someone, they gonna beat you. Ive been stuck at trying to unlock the 97-98 Jazz and Lakers for the past few days. Like I said maybe its just me

[ShakeDown2012]

@Lonestar327 It's not just you bro. This game is extremely frustrating. I unlocked that team but it wasn't easy. My Player modes is no different. Your teammates play like trash while you miss wide open jumpers. Only gets better when your player becomes a beast. I put out a Dribble tutorial that may help. Check it out and see what happens.

[lilSwagg201]

@ShakeDown2012 so should i get this game for Christmas then??

[ShakeDown2012]

@lilSwagg201 to be honest, this game is very frustrating. I would really watch a lot of videos and make a good decision. Heck, if someone is getting it for you for Christmas, why not.

[lilSwagg201]

@ShakeDown2012 yea? my  dad said he is i been watching alot of them im bascly asking people who play should i get it

[AnimeKidSever14]

the thing i dont like about this game is well if yu pick a good position and shizz and start out in like college basketball your player is good buht when you get drafted and play in the nba your player gona suk ass and the team your versing is gona make like every shot like crazy its ridiculus

[AnimeKidSever14]

@AnimeKidSever14 and my player is pretty good buht the other team always make their shots and make like the most impossible baskets

[AnimeKidSever14]

Respond to this video...  and when you start shootin there's a fat chance you'll miss idk mayb its me buht i dont really lose at this game buht some of the shit on it is ridiculous i found like 2 glitches 1 of my teammates was sitting in mid air on the court and shit and when they called time out he got up and walk to his seat lol and another is when the ball was floating in mid air im like WTFFFFF o.o

[ShakeDown2012]

@AnimeKidSever14 the glitches do happen. This game is a lot tougher than last years.

[AnimeKidSever14]

@ShakeDown2012 yeh it is buht in 2k11 i hate how they started you with a like 30 somethin overall and your player sucks ass i didnt have the patience to get his overall 100... i didnt use my player in 2k11 so i jus played a quik games with my lil bro.. buht i like 2k12 becuz the overall rate for your my player is 60

[AnimeKidSever14]

Respond to this video... and the shootin is different to me the timing to release semms different buht im starting to get use 2 it now i never really played my 2k games becuz of the my players buht 2k12 i like and ima keep playin it ...it's kinda addicting i have it for ps3

[MsStromrider]

I am looking forward to your tutorial like 2k11

[ShakeDown2012]

@MsStromrider I already put out my first one. You should check it out. It's all about dunking.

[WnzroSmashKing]

how did you start off with your old stats?

[cOrNxFlAkEz3]

u got xbox or ps3 add me

[ShakeDown2012]

@cOrNxFlAkEz3 xbox

[lilHippo]

is this dude white?

[ShakeDown2012]

@lilHippo I was wondering the same thing about you.

[stankmaw]

yo Shake; how are the servers? I have the game but havent had a chance to even open and play it

[ShakeDown2012]

@stankmaw So far, I heard bad things about online play. I don't suggest it just yet.

[MrDirtyGames]

@stankmaw servers are shit game feels slow and very unresponsive..long story short very shitty

[lolxjks]

honestly ball physics are stupid its tangible when you run through the cpu but its not when your trying to swipe it honestly wtf

[realtalk300]

do they olay the intro once or everythime u put it in please awnswer

[ShakeDown2012]

@realtalk300 every time you put it in.

[realtalk300]

@realtalk300 oh on create a legend mode can you use a legend ?

[TheHornets44]

That is beast!

[KPofCincy23]

Yeah do post up vids!

[tdogg1388]

Just got my nba2k12 yes2day and iam loving it.every thing is better then 2k11 another good vid shake u do ur thing

[shadowerfun]

Where's Brandon Jennings ?

[1xxXM3X1CAN0Xxx4]

This is my first basketball game that i ever bought. The last basketball game i bought was NBA Jam for the 64 i think. haha. I<3NBA2k12

[royal44100]

Hey, can you change up sliders in My Player?

[sumalumah]

your my player design looks so much better now! Looking forward to picking this game up once I get through wit midterms lol

[ShakeDown2012]

@sumalumah thanks man

[ThePhenomenal1x]

lol shake you cherry pick alot cheese but you still my homie

[brandunkz]

2k12 is definitely game of the year for me

[MrDiplomat213]

The signature layups are exploits still in this game..you can jus glide thru ppl from about 5 ft out

[ESGsolja]

the euro step is the new hop step now ,easier to do but even easier to stop ha i love 2k12

[Bagsicr15]

this isn't play all over again?...you just made your player and added to the bulls right?

[dimikxx]

please hook us up with a nice isomotion tutorial, im havin trouble burning defenders off the dribble in this game...for ex, carmelo has some sort of signature size up thats different than the regular 4 stationary size ups...perhaps players have different "in motion" size ups?

[ShakeDown2012]

@dimikxx It's all coming next week fam. No doubt.

[aimannorzahariwod]

@dimikxx this game hurted my headz with the controls... see what i mean

[redialator]

final score 10-5 hahaha...

[DaEthioKing]

yooo shakke what u think should i get this game?? great vid btw!!!

[ShakeDown2012]

@DaEthioKing Yes. I love it. Too bad for Crew Gamers though.

[DaEthioKing]

@ShakeDown2012 why? is it the same as 2k11? what do you think of the 2k12 online experience? i hated gettin disconnected all the time in 2k11

[ShakeDown2012]

@DaEthioKing There is no Crew this year. All the Hackers messed it up for everybody. I'll do some online tests soon and let everyone know how the online lag is.

[ntsshap4]

Is there a way to get jumpshot feedback on xbox live? It is very necessary to have that because of the lag on xbox live. I miss so many open mid range shots with amar'e and melo.

[ShakeDown2012]

@ntsshap4 not sure my dude. I don't play a lot of online games. I will this year though.

[xXDarkPs3x360KingX]

in a couple a months we are gonna start fighting about the game u will c hackers on my player will hack it aventually i hope not and there a person that gonna find a way to cheese true the game wich sucks . plus does every player have their own new jumpshot or did they add new ones and i hope when i play ranked games it dosent lagg as much as it did before on 2k11

[jdm305em1]

smh im not good at crossing..but thats probably because im still a 64 ovrall..just gotta work on the ability.

[jdm305em1]

damn u always get the team u want

[NBAfanDallas1]

@ShakeDown2012: question, what's your shot type at 5:55? Really loved it! Great vid btw!

[ShakeDown2012]

@NBAfanDallas1 It's a Jordan Mixture.

[M4tsu0]

the only sports game that will compete with nba 2k12 is fifa 12, both hv great presentations of the game and also realistic simulations of the sport.

[M4tsu0]

i'm new to the series, but i watched 2k videos and gameplays. i do like the 'training camp' in 2k12, it's a very good feature for new users like me, but there's only one bad thing that u can't choose one particular drills during your progress or after u've completed all the drills. i'd like to practice some of the moves that are new (esp. the new posted-up controls)

[ShakeDown2012]

@M4tsu0 I know, I was very disappointed in that after the completion of the drills.

[22nappyhead]

I'm gettin so pissed at the online servers that I'm about to return this game. The lag just continues to ruin the online experience every year

[kevinsuperman33]

lol what kind of fans do the Bucks have.. rooting for the other team... -.-

[Baseballbat95]

@DreadKing87 Your forgetting Chris smoove, but other than that I completely agree.

[royal44100]

@MrGetReeeal You're gonna be waiting for a good while.

[Bloodstock13]

Can we suspect crew games on multilayer?

[royal44100]

Didn't even know it was out....

[Jolt2k]

Great vid shake

The game is perfect and online is great too

Just made a guy rage quit xD

Whoever wants to play hit me^ on xbox

Jolt2k

[ShakeDown2012]

@Jolt2k lol, that's crazy

[2hot2hndl4u]

wern't the fans wearing green ?

[putteminthegame]

Yo, Shake, I agree wit every fuckin thing u said, this game iz the G.O.A.T. - 2K nailed it - I haven't felt like this playin a game in a long time. If there are flaws - I don't feel dem shitz and datz whutz important.- great review, Shake! Lookin 4ward to ur next shit, fam - One

[ShakeDown2012]

@putteminthegame much MUCH more to come.

[Tupac1524]

I know this has nothing to do with NBA 2k12 BUT RIP STEVE JOBS

[riceleeroy14]

IM JUST WONDERIN..... HOW DID THE BUCKS GET TO THE EASTERN CONF> FINALS???

[ShakeDown2012]

@riceleeroy14 this is a simulated season. You'll see why soon.

[TheSgtBrown]

@Shakedown2012 Better presentation than NFL 2k5?

[ShakeDown2012]

@TheSgtBrown I don't know about that. 2K5 use to showcase highlights from A.I. controlled teams in season mode. We'll just have to see.

[AnimalUnleashedHD]

What shot do you use?

[blackbruelee]

Another solid review Shake.

[AirBallerX3000]

was this my player



[ShakeDown2012]

@AirBallerX3000 no.

[ShakeDown2012]

@AirBallerX3000 nah

[akaBPhife]

2:03 (response) if there aren't people like Apex, Versuz, Sim, Ronenic, AE Smitty, Ryan, Brozales, Hard8, etc and myself that showcase the flaws, then games like NBA 2K12 would not be possible. What you would get is more of 2K9 or 2K10 quality. So I say this not to come at you, but to say as a 'BIG TIME' youtube voice you owe it to your viewers to try to help make these games better. Just so happens we gotta bitch a little bit, but look at the end results. My dude Shake you still the man!

[ShakeDown2012]

@akaBPhife Best Comment Ever!

[funkaydonkey]

why isnt brandon jennings starting on the bucks?

[ShakeDown2012]

@funkaydonkey he got injured.

[MrxExile]

HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE THE GAME, comes out 7th october !?

[funkaydonkey]

@MrxExile it came out yesterdayy..

[bumblebot30]

@MrxExile it came out on the 4th in the states. it comes out on the 7th everywhere else :(. i live in New Zealand so i have to wait and its killing me!

[LuvTheGfunk]

maaan this game is RAW

[TonyThriller]

What is your MP's overall? Great video, I love your commentaries.

[immadunnot]

i think there would be a lot more bulls fans there

[michael22834]

I can't wait to figure out how to do the Hakeem Olajuwon move at 0:47

[derekvarte]

Can't wait to get this tomorrow.Its coming out on the 7th here in Australia(i.e tomorrow). I've seen so many reviews and gameplay footage and Im very impressed. My Player this year is gonna be a beast.

[bvbfan2196]

Lol wasnt 0:06 goaltending? ;D

[billydakid6826]

@bvbfan2196 dikembe mutombo NEVER goaltends lol

[XboxDomino]

This game was definitely the best of the series.

[clev23james]

Wht is ur players skill rating and if its over 70 wht attributes did u put up and is his skill thingy mine is an all around point guard 66 rating

[ShakeDown2012]

@clev23james This has been a simulated season. When I start My Player, You'll see everything.

[5magicfingers]

i like how duncan get pwned by the dream in the intro.

[TheNbaEveryday]

How do they allow ads for your vids please tell me, i have monetization but they are not allowing it on my nba 2k vids my man

[ShakeDown2012]

@TheNbaEveryday my channel is partnered. So I can claim my videos.

[TheNbaEveryday]

@ShakeDown2012 Ah i gotcha, are you a sports director? Because I send emails to machinima sports with my link and dropbox url, is that fine? Is that how you get noticed, im a very committed youtuber man when it deals with this, im willing to make daily uploads, but i just want the chance. I appreciate you replying to my comment in the first place, great videos.

[ShakeDown2012]

@TheNbaEveryday Yes, I'm a sports director for Machinima. Best thing you can do is keep at it bro. Send me a link to your latest sports vid.

[TheNbaEveryday]

@ShakeDown2012 Oh okay man, thanks so much bro, I will keep at it! Here is my latest sports vid, not many views because i just uploaded it by subscribers are going up and so are my view counts for my vids.

/watch?v=YNnau0pQprA&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[Baseballbat95]

Did anybody notice at 6:24 the fans shirt color changes from green to red?

[ShakeDown2012]

@Baseballbat95 wow, good eye. I'll be checking for that in future games.

[PANIC1291]

Yo Shake you worried about problems w/ the rosters affecting the playability of the game halfway through the NBA "season" around Jan.-Feb.?

[ShakeDown2012]

@PANIC1291 not sure. Because I'm not sure there will even be a season this year.

[pnewtonfarley]

nice vid can't wait to get into this game...going to ruin my social life haha

[RedDeadMaster1000]

3 questions.

1.Why is Earl Boykins starting instead of Brandon Jennings?

2.Your in the Playoffs already?HOW?

3.Why don't you play on the knocks it would be quite cool

[ShakeDown2012]

@RedDeadMaster1000 3 Answers.

1. Brandon Jennings got injured

2. This was a simulated season. You'll see why soon.

3. Assuming you meant the Knicks, I truly plan to brotha.

[RedDeadMaster1000]

@ShakeDown2012 yeah I meant the knicks I was on my Ipod so it auto corrects

[TheLLSMUVG]

2K brought realism to this game this year!

incredible

cheers

[Fredfiness]

@DreadKing87 Chris Smoove doesn't do those things either. I like both guys, that's why they are the only commentators I'm subscribed to.

[RaptorsHood]

might be getting it this friday

[bumblebot30]

lol at carmelo getting beaten by jerry west in the intro. this game really is realistic :)

[trilsavage1000]

I cant wait to get dis on friday

[junebug4LIFE]

only one complaint. got drafted to the knicks, and they trade amare and melo for d howard and gilbert arenas...-____-

[bumblebot30]

@junebug4LIFE ehhhhhhhhhhhhh?????? far out

[Tonio5100]

BEST SPORTS GAME EVER!!!! THIS GAME BLEW 2K11 OUT THE WATER!!! GOTTA GIVE PROPS TO 2K SPORTS 4 THAT

[doopyx]

@Tonio5100 No..Not really ..It's the same game..I have both of them and I can really say it's the same game. Sorry, but I don't know why they excited, but If you have 2K11, if you play 2K11 very well, the game looks exactly the same..so guys, I'm a big 2K fan since 2001, but 2K12 doesnt have any big differences to 2K11...

[Tonio5100]

@doopyx If u sayin the games r exackly the same then u must not got a real 2k12 then LoL U cant sit there & tell me thats the same A.I. system from 2k11... In 2k11 my player mode your teamates r jus plain stupid it didnt matter who your teamates was they all played the same & thats not the case in 2k12... The A.I. system is MUCH improved from 2k11 & i think that was a major flaw in 2k11 + all the cpu cheatin which also has also been toned down ALOT

[ncdc123]

awesome reverse pump at 6:35, i like the new dunk animation they put there

[ICitrusPrimeI]

I've been reading a lot about the animation where you throw the ball ahead of you in the open floor not being liked too much....it was kind of a nuisance in the demo, but like you said, that was an early build. Great vid, Shake.

[13pfly]

Why is Boykins starting on the bucks?

[majkol2]

they made a really great intro

[QJB]

great vid as always shake

[simfballcritic]

Another solid video from Shake the Great.... I with you man, I haven't found anything to really gripe about gameplay wise. I'll be able to dive in more tonight. The only problem they have is the ONLINE SERVERS!!! C'mon 2K, you can't offer an Online Association and the servers aren't on point. Ronnie2K did say that they identified the problem and it should be fix within a few hours so we will see. For real though, this game is good enough for me not to miss the online, and that's Real Talk.

[ShakeDown2012]

@simfballcritic true that fam.

[Dman4901]

@ShakeDown2012 steals are a little nuts cause i played my friend an ALL HE WAS DOING WAS REACHING LIKE CRAZY AN GETTIN THESE BS STEALS that was my only gripe button mashin steals are crazy

[LaMarr37]

@simfballcritic online play at all?

[ShakeDown2012]

@DreadKing87 No doubt fam. That's what I stand for.

[Biizz199]

I'm waiting for my copy to get here in the mail any second now, is it really true that there is no crew and no pickup games? if there isn't that's really a shame, I was really looking forward to taking my my online without all the hopstepping and nonsense they took out.

[ShakeDown2012]

@Biizz199 I think all the Hackers ruined it for everyone. But I still blame 2K for not having a handle on their own product. But truthfully, now you have to play with skill.

[Ballerking2425]

@Biizz199 I never really thought crew was that good, but that just could be because of the terrible servers never letting me get into many games. I also think the hackers ruined it, but 2K should have done something.

[Up4Dsn]

Great break down ShakeDown! I really cannot wait until I can get this game. You got me even more excited. I can't wait for your upcoming videos. I know they're going to be good.

[larata9]

iz da LOCKOUT ever goin 2 end

[XJumpManReturnsX]

idk man madden 2003 was perfect there was 100% NOTHING wrong with madden 2003

[1992vflem]

shake is it true that theres no crew mode

[ShakeDown2012]

@1992vflem yes. All the hacking ruined it.

[xxbannaramaxx]

DA BULLS

[ShakeDown2012]

@MrGetReeeal Exactly bro. I'm not going to rush into MyPlayer just yet either.

[crunkgirl711]

They still need to fix the dame online server problems

[ShakeDown2012]

@crunkgirl711 absolutely. I haven't seen the online yet myself but I've heard it's not working.

[lbj6mj23]

@ShakeDown2012

its not right now to many peolpe are online

[crunkgirl711]

@ShakeDown2012 this is always a problem in stead of adding to my player thats what they should of worked on

[KeithBerry23]

Nice unseen my first 2k CID yesterday I knew this was the game to get. Didn't really like 2k11(the game) but I defenitlynlooking foward to ur 2k12 vids cause I'm going to be all over this game.

[bvbfan2196]

D Fish has to end the lockout!!! -.-

[fedekinder]

i love the presentation!

[fanofb2m07]

0:08 GET THAT OUTTA HERE!!!

[younginkd]

why douglas roberts look like kid cudi lmao

[gregtdmorrison]

I wish they didnt change the controls every year, i understand if they add something but to keep changing it every year is quite annoying, nevertheless i suppose it wont take long to get used to it.

[ShakeDown2012]

@gregtdmorrison No, you're right though.

[gregtdmorrison]

Good video, 2k12 looks to be improving greatly

[FaTaL1h]

You getting NBA Jam On Fire edition on xbox live marketplace

[infamous995]
