  • song name Basketball by Kurtis Blow

  • Don't know a shit about basketball, but this game looks good

  • @Simwarn mw3 has shit graphics. Your comment seems ironic and senseless.

  • is it just me or does the game's graphic seem worse than 2k11s?

  • This game is a joke. No AI, zero passing intelligence (everything is a slow chest pass), too easy to get steals, in my player mode the computer constantly just stands still with the ball, and lots more. This game is all graphics zero gameplay. Which shouldn't come as a surprise since it's a 2K Sports game. And nothing will change as long as idiotic people with no knowledge of a good game (much less a good basketball game) keep spending money on it

  • @Dedmon319 Almost every 2k sports game is better than ea rather then hockey...

  • nba 2k11>nba 2k12

  • why don't these games have a story that is why i never waste my money on this and i continue to love cod modern warfare 3 that is an amazing game at least worth 60 dollar, this is worth about 5 bucks because it only lasts for five minutes. it is total bullshit i would rather buy farm folk city folk on the wii, at least that has more content and has better graphics

  • @simwarn your fat nuff said

  • @simwarn dude its a basketball game for basketball fans wtf are u even doing here?

  • great game an steve nash has a weird face in real life

  • @1234561186 Damn right

  • NBA 2k12 > MW3

  • This game is the worst basketbal game ever made. You can't play against the computer because they never miss. I just had Stephen Jackson score 42 points, most of them were 3s.

  • @588kingj Bro I dont know I have Capt. Jack on my team in my player mode and thats all he does is take three pointers. I personally hate the guy now.

  • yea right this game is fucking Trash

  • its funny how he doesnt know malone's name and calls him mailman LOLOLOL.

  • @Quillincy thats becasue his nickname was the mailman?

  • @travislong61 i know it is , he just didnt know who malone was lol!

  • too many bugs in this game. I plan on returning this game soon. What should I exchange it for?

  • Is gamefly good to have?

  • Nba 2k12 is without question the worst Nba 2k ive ever played and ive been playing a long time.. The game bugs non stop, They predetermine your success in nba my player.. The my player is absolutely horrible. 2k is back to square one. If you were thinking about getting a good basketball game dont buy 2k12. They need to fix a ton of things.

  • i have to say this sucks. speed is a joke, and size does not matter. i've posted up guards with myplayer who is 7'1" and i get blocked ALOT. every player runs at the same speed, and i make more c+ shots than i make a+ shots. there are several weird delays in the game where no one is moving and the ref holds the ball, myplayer tends to freeze alot. as a ex 2k fan, i recommend getting 2k10 or 2k11, its cheaper and less buggy, or wait for 2k13. either way dont listen to ign, they probably got payed

  • Count how many turnovers per game on dumb shit? Elbows,heads,knees over and over again. Blocked shot galore from trash players just standing there flailing there arms! Fuck 2k

  • I don't have this game I want it because my Neibor has It and it's ALOT of fun but this IGN guy is stupid ok if ONE face looks bad that's not a -.5 maybe a -.2 GEEZUS!!! 9.8

  • This game is not a 9.5, added unnecesary stuff, computer is way to hard, shooting system sucks now so hard to make shots, this game is a 7, 2k11 was much better

  • some moves are made up

    nba players dont even do the moves 2k made

  • What these cats dont know is the bugs, glitches, and all the flaws that have been added since the last 2k game. Only a real 2k gamer would know nto an IGN reviewer....

  • This is one helluva game, just amazing.

  • Am I the ONLY one who thought this game was great, but 2K11 was shitty? I HATED 2K11 but this game is pretty damn good

  • @TheAceKannon yes, you are the only one.

  • @TheAceKannon you're pretty much the only one

  • @TheAceKannon Yea you got it all mixed up Bud.. 2k11 was more of a big revolution for basketball gaming. Then 2k12 came out and still got high ratings? Doesn't make any sense. 2k12 IMO is a 5.5/10

  • Crap server!! This monkeys made alot of money without good server. Shity game

  • Why am I even watching this? I hate basketball.

  • this gaming fucking sucks. the ai is so good and your so shitty. dont get this game. waste of money

  • Can't stand this guys voice

  • 2k12 is the worst :/

  • this game has a lot of problems. they should really get some1 who knows a thing or 2 about basketball to review a basketball game

  • frm about 1:18 to 1:21 when the dude said nash looks like an immaceated woman!! tht shit got me laughing omg like 2k needs to fix his face.

  • Fun game uin all the graphics are dreat and most if not all of the game modes are fun, but i do have a few complaints first in this game you seem to not be able to put contact on other players so they can just run right past you, and they also ruined the dunk contest... they just have to go back to the 2k10 version of the dunk contest and its good again, next of all is the dang bull crap of the shooting which is the whole (wide open A+ green) and miss, that annoys me, just my thoughts

  • Comment removed

  • This game is amazing. But the AI is ridiculous! They always make their there shots and always block yours. You cant make a layup worth crap. But overall its really good. Its just really frustrating. I give it a 8.5

  • manu ginobli shoots shoots like crazy his unstoppable in these game

  • All these hate comments are from fagets that prob dont have money to buy it and r just jealous they cant get 2k12 cus ille admit it takes like a week to get used to but once u do u will become addicted the haters are just used to playing arcade basketball and sht this is for real basketball players and real simulation so dont hate just cus u suck dick at playing it

  • @halozamus dude i've plyed over 60 games, and play it on pro (easiest setting) but all i play is my player mode, and i swear my guy just gets worse. i average about 5-6 turnovers a game (sometimes a quartter!) because the passing is so shit and other weird things happening, i miss a wide open shot to have the computer come back and do a spin layup thru my big guys with his pointguard. there are so many bugs that prevent me from actualy doing good. instead of getting better i get worse cause angr

  • @halozamus not to mention getting stuck in the crowd (losing like 2 whole grades for leaving assigment) ally oops that we've made and i get bad pass, minus a lot. All the amzing blocks the comp is able to do (when not even looking) when i am able to drive to the paint. the kickballs always on me but not on CPU, and th goaltending when i obviously got the rebound. trust me i have about 20 replays saved cause i thought i was tripin, but its fairly obvious its the gme

  • who else is waiting for nba elite 13?

    yes i said it...

  • I just purchased the game this past Monday & had to do the new training mode before I could start playing. Once I learned the controls and how to call plays etc, I learned to love it. It was difficult but that's the beauty of this game. Once you know how to play, you can really do anything you want offensively. It takes time though. I've been OWNING other players online by 20+ points a game & I've only played 10 games online. Killing these dudes who've been playing since it came out lol. GET IT.

  • ign sais its good but the comments say its turkey shit? should i bother getting it?

  • these guys are retarted they edited chris paul to 99 everything and fixed their sliders if you look at the halftime report their shooting 100% with the hornets!

  • you have to like master this fucking game..the CPU defense is fuckin impossible to get by....theres no way to shoot (dunk, layup, etc.) in the key...its sooo easy to lose the ball...the MyPlayer sucks camel dicks...the CPU makes every 3 pointer if left alone...AND its a waste of $60 .. i give this game a 7.5/10

  • @ThaDKushBRO Just saying a 7.5/10 is still a solid game for someone who is bitching at it cause he suks... i played it for the first time yesterday and it wasn't that hard.... i also watched my friend play my player and they didn't make one 3...stop complaining and get good at the game.

  • Game is so garbage, I completed all Greatest mode and when I went to start my Association it deleted all that work. Fuck 2K

  • CPU Defense is like javale mcgee, bite's on pump fake everytime its a joke.

  • damnit i fucking wasted 65 bucks on this shit actually 75 caz i bought legends showcase WHICH IS A BIG PIECE OF SHIT

  • Can anyone please tell me if in nba2k12 air canada arena where the raptors play have the raptor claw in the center of the court? because all the videos i watch of nba2k12 it have the old logo in the center court. i wanna buy this game but i wanna know this info before purchase, thank you.

  • i lost all respect for IGN reviews. 9.5? really? i love how they didn't mention speed fail, A+ shots missing while D+ shots go in (i know people who made 2k12 are too dumb to realize A+ = 100%). blocking is an absolute joke in this game, pgs can block centers no problem. they are clearly just sucking 2k's dick. unsubscribed, never watching another review. thought i could trust this got 2k12 it is the worst game of all time

  • I thought 2k stated they would have player updates like hairstyles, tattoos, accessories ? Jared Jeffries still has his big ass fro from his college days! Melvin Ely still has his cornrows from 8 years ago? But short hair in his new pic. Lazy 2k

  • why was this reviewed by a faggot?

  • wow theres a lot of twins in the crowd

  • fuck!! the gameplay is cool but the cpu cheats like hell !!!

  • 9.5 game

    0.5 songs

  • This game is a piece of shit ... I went in and traded it in for 2k11 , the gamestop worker understood.

  • The music please please please

    1!!!!!

    

  • so should i get 2k11 or 12

  • @NotoriousNairb my guess is 2k11 cus eveyone is saying 12 sucks

  • They took out situation :(

  • Graphics are Dope as hell though, people must have trash TV's cause it looks sick on my 50' 1080p Plasma . About the only thing going for it.

  • I have to play this game in moderation are else I'll physically hurt somebody! Last year I played non stop, now with the unbalanced and cheap gameplay even with NBA accurate sliders the gameplay is still a mess. My Player Mode is damn near unplayable and let's not even discuss online. You notice there hasn't been any patches to fix these issues? 2K got there cash and said fuck you.

  • Comment removed

  • this game dive me borderline insane and my player mode dont even get me FKN started!!

  • This game is fucking awesome

  • the gameplay is fucked up

  • graphic sucks ... y cant they make the graphics as good as Fight Night ?

  • NBA 2k12 is awesome

  • nba 2k12 deserves a 8.5

  • wow i dont understand why ppl are hating so much, i've had a blast with this game for 4 months

  • I enjoyed the game, but its not as good as 2K11. NBA's greatest is fun, but there's really no challenge to it and with no rewards, I don't have a reason to play it like I did with the Jordan Challenges. My Player is mostly the same, too. 2K11 is a wiser investment if you ask me.

  • Rented this game... OMG, so fucking terrible! Are you kidding me? 9.5? Lmao. The gameplay is horrendous, the graphics remind me of PS2 and online is the same laggy piece of shit. Not to mention they took away the 3 best things about last years PoS... Crew Games, My Player Pickup Games, and Dunk Contests. So horrible, fuck IGN for giving this piece of shit anything above a 6

  • 2k12 sucks nba live forever

  • Comment removed

  • IGN and Gameinformer gave this game a 9.5 rating, which is complete nonsense. You should also disregard the fanboy praise, they always seem to point out the fact that you shouldn't listen to negative comments even though they are indeed true. Can anybody give 10 positives about this game? What has 2K done to improve the game, besides contract negotiations (if you can play the game long enough).

  • Comment removed

  • I don't understand why people would think 2k11 is better.. There somewhat the same but all the NBA update stuff is really cool and tons of other amazing features that 2k11 didn't have. In 2k11 my player was a piece of shit as well, it wouldn't even give you assists at times it was stupid no doubt 2k12 is a better buy.

  • Unfinished rookies, gameplay sucks, everything sux.

    I better go and play 2k11

  • @WarPig971 Which is why you update your rosters online?

  • @joemopa u think im so stupid not to do that?

  • Don't listen to the haters here.

    It's flawed, yes--like when you can't inbound the ball sometimes, no matter how many times you press the button. But you can always call time-out, at least.

    The majority of players, which like 2k12 (like myself), can't do kiddie things like whine in Youtube comments, because they're too busy playing it.

  • epic

    

  • this game is cheese I can't believe they've taken away my player pickup games and crew games.

  • @speeddemon223 my player is still there, i hate that they took out 1v1,2v2 etc, but this game is still amazing and in my opinion better then 2k11, I enjoy NBA's greatest wayyy more than the Jordan Challenge just because i can play with amazing players I never knew before

  • @speeddemon223 uhm........no they didnt

  • @speeddemon223 They took them away because of people hacking and cheating...

  • @speeddemon223 because people always hacked

  • 1:00 November 22nd 2005???

  • i hate the way this game feels

  • ill stick with 2k9 i luv 2k9

  • ummmmm the gameplay is pretty bad for someone who has played basketball its nothing like it at times you can make 3s whenever you want with tight defense on you to many controls that dont always work passing is horrible to many blocks its still a great game but dont say it better than previous games

  • 2k is so robotic, its like playing cutscenes...

  • 2k12 is a piece of sh1t madden 12 is better

  • @flyJordaz123 this is a basketball game not a football game LOL

  • 2k12 sucks.

  • Don't wanna be like that, but it aint actually that impressive to make a game like this when it is the NBA. I mean with a game like FIFA there are so much more that has to be done, In NBA there's just ONE league.

  • Eminem Fast Lanee

  • Weird faces? THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE

  • is there my crew like in 2k11?

  • Is there my crew like in 2k11?

  • Is there my crew like in 2k11?

  • 2k11 was better, take a note 2K sports...

  • This Game Cheese you in soo many ways, I was trying to close the Divisional Round in the playoffs and I was shooting 97% from the free throw line in the playoffs, I missed 2/2 with a 78% and 82% shot. There are about 5-10 more ways it cheese you, this game is about a 8,not a 9.5. IGN needs to play the game for more then 3 days before they review it.

  • Should I get NBA 2K12 or NBA 2K11? I have been told by A LOT of people that 2K12 sucks and 2K11 is better, which one should I get? :s

  • @wordsofshit 2k12 believe me

  • @wordsofshit 2k11 is better man

  • honestly this game is trash. i laugh when people say this game is realistic. passing is just terrible. theres a delay on icon passing and someone like steve nash can't make a good pass from 5 feet away. theres too many poster dunks. people who know nothing about basketball can run around with someone like lebron and just dunk over anyone. and all players have exagerated hops.theres no consequence for double teaming or help defense cuz the defense can magically recover to the open man.

  • love how all the people who cant play the game are angry with it; maybe you're bad not the game? Just a suggestion.

  • just finished playing a game of 2k12. this is worst fucking piece of shit in the history of the world.

  • @2overnaaz You must be mad because you bought nba live instead of 2k12 because you don't know shit about video games.

  • Sports games r getting worse every year wgile modern warfare still owns.

  • Cant wait until mlb 12 the show so I can trade this piece of shit in.

  • Living life in the fast lane...

  • This game is bullshyt I wasted my money on this piece of shyt I'm takin it back

  • fuck this game its a piece of shit someone tried 5 2pt shots and missed all of them!!!!!!!!!! THIS GAME SUCKS DICK

  • @MadKittyFace Are you sure it isn't just you who sucks lol.

  • @Lavadragons lol nopee

  • I get sooooo sick of the CPU having huge 4th quarters on just pro difficulty just so it can avoid a huge blowout... If I manage to hold a 15+ point lead into the fourth I shouldn't have to play the foul game in the final minute cuz the CPU can't miss a shot

  • kobe looks like an alien still! Perfect recreation.

  • just got this for the xbox ! looking forward ! 

  • Hahaha this rating is a joke fuck this game bullshit

  • gameplay sucks...this guy is literally retarded, he cares more about looks and modes then gameplay.

  • @Shiftyfcker321 it is a woman

  • FUCK 2K12 FUCK 2K12 FUCK 2K12!!!!!!!!!!

  • Weird faces are you kidding me what a joke actually in way it makes sense like if Steve Nash a better face he'd be a 10 but sadly he's a 9.5

  • Ign always finds a way to not give a game the rating it deserves like if u think NBA 2k12 should have gotten a 10.

  • I kick ass online but get ass kicked on my player gotta be 2ks fault....sixers 4 life

  • OK one question, is this a guy or girl talking???? if it's a guy then FOR GOD SAKES MAN!!! release your balls from the grip you have them in you sound like a women!!!!!!

  • WTF weird faces?

  • The my player is awesome since they added it in, but eventually it becomes ridiculous how good your guy gets. Near the end of the season I was shooting 65% as a Shooting guard and had 20 straight games of scoring 40+. And in the playoffs I swept everyone, it becomes unfair because you can just max every useful stat at 99

  • They did not just take away .5 point for weird faces...da fuq...

  • Weird faces is a stupid con agaisnt a game

  • WHAT SONG IS IT AT 0:50 OBVIOUSLY I NOW IT'S EMINEM

  • @AaR07n fast lane by bad meets evil

  • @AaR07n Fast Lane by Eminem

  • i think they need to fix the cpu defense its unrealistic its like they no what youre gonna do b4 you do it and fix the a.i how can you shoot a perfect release wide open jumpshot and miss

  • when you complete any legends challenge and unlock a team, can you rematch and play it again?

  • Am I The Only One Who Needs FIFA 2K13

  • @Themidozable10 FIFA? LMFAO

  • I just hate the defense. Like really? Crossovers are useless because its like they know what your gonna do. But when their driving its so easy for them. I had an animation where i was guarding wade and i was cutting him off and he kept dribbling and running like he was on the moon. Oh i hate the up and under shots from the cpu. The paint is crowded with defenders and thats all they have to do to make it.

  • PATCH shooting. Too many times I miss wide open, perfect release shots, 99 3pt without a dribble pickup, while I watch as JR Smith does a turnaround bomb with tight D and makes it. I am sick of seeing Luis Scola go 13 for 14 against joke AI defense. The shot timing feedback is broken, as in fucking broken. Of spread, 10 percent make up early release, 80 perfect, and 10 late. And cash? 50k for FIFTY SKILL POINTS? Yep, lets blow 150k on 150 SP and increase my free throw rating by ONE.

  • @oldmanwithers1 I agree, wide open for like 5 seconds and being 99 at 3 pt shooting and you guy cant make anything off, and then jamal crawford can make a three off a turn around draped with d on him

  • @travislong61 Thats what I see Dorell Wright just put up like 39 points on my team all threes. My three is 85 and I am shooting like 40%

  • Blake Griffin is an 84? Uh, wrong.

  • This review is written for people who can spend 6 hours a day on a console. If you don't have that time, this game is pretty useless. Getting a rebound requires you to piece together 3 finishing moves from Mortal Kombat. Just go coach a basketball team. It will be much less complicated. Plus with the dumb cut scenes, load times for NBA Tonight, etc. it will make coaching a team less taxing on your time. Don't listen to this review. It's only meant for people who have A LOT of time for this game.

  • Terrible review. Raves on cut scenes etc before mentioning anything about gameplay.The subs interface worked well last year , but they changed it up and it requires more of my valuable time to learn it. Why change it? They failed to repair the dumb instant replay camera that puts you back into the menu if you tap a right stick (hint: good replay cameras use both sticks) and the AI is just stupid. Memo: there is this thing called a 3-second violation. Overthought game. Useless to casual gamers.

  • This game is overated

  • i dont what to buy,tell me guy. Fifa 12 or Nba 2k12,idk. i play basketball with my friends but i love to watch football and drink beer,lol just tell me!!!!

  • @MrMantis3004 Fifa 12 is amazing and a huge step forward from Fifa 11. NBA 2k12 is good but it's pretty much the same as 2k11.

    I would go with Fifa but 2k12 is also a good choice. You can't really go wrong with each.

  • The gameplay is fuckin hard to figure out. Everythings changed from 11.

  • @wb1227 btw I bought the cover for my man Magic Johnson on the Cover bro. Fuck Jordan

  • Also please get rid of fucking sliders and Difficulty settings 2K. And just have the players with real tendencies IQ and raw talent players! Fuck 2K

  • This game is straight garbage! How the fuck if I'm playing on simulation HOF without editing sliders I can't get a fucking steal with CP3? Or make a damn shot! He has led the NBA 4 years running in steals ! No matter I well I time my steals or study the D I can't get a steal. I can't score with real NBA scorers no matter how well I know the game or run my plays ! Garbage

  • You took score off for weird faces? Really? Really? It's all about the gameplay who cares about the faces. They look good enough. But gameplay needs to be improved.
