IGN Reviews - NBA 2K12 Game Review 

i’m considering buying this for 10$ on amazon. in 2020

Who’s here after 2k20 has been released?

The people who said that nba2k12 sucks has he even played the game I don't know what's the problem.. the graphics animation the presenting is great ..

11 and 12 were my favorite 2k games by far...so many hours on these games..

2K11 is STILL the best basketball game ever. Everything about that game was amazing! The gameplay, the soundtrack, the menus and graphics, the modes, etc.

This is still the best playing game in the series. Everything in the gameplay department; from the jumpshot, to the hands up on defense, and defense in general was way better than 2k11; and the rest. PERIOD! Still playing epic games with ubr on pc.

Who else watching this after watching Nba 2k19?

In my opinion this one was the best.

nba 2k12 is the best 2k game in my opinion

All you need is an actual NBA season and this game will sell like anything..

Who remembers the Hop Step Cheese????? That move was Unstoppable

does dunking on the ps3 have much more control if you stay screwing around with the right analog stick or is the square button juust as good?

Greatness mode was better than Jordan challenges

this game isn't nearly as frustrating as 2k11, which is a good sign it means that they're improving

@jp3813 that really is true. any info on when the rookies will get put in the game or do we just have to wait for the lockout to end.

@BumpyJohnson132 have u tried the demo? just moving your player feels different in 2k12

"all is missing barkley talking non sense" 9 years later he still missing

My favorite is 2k12 closely followed by 2k11 2k12 soundtrack: 9/10 2k11 soundtrack: 10/10. 2k12 graphics: 9/10 2k11 graphics: 8/10. And finally gameplay 2k12: 9.5/10 2k11 gameplay: 9/10.

If you buy it of the xbox dashboard is it the full game and do you need a pass code through family settinggs?

is there a kind of 'pro clubs' mode, where i can use my player and take him into a game/club with my mates??? answers please

Not a big fan of 2k sports games; especially their basketball games. But I do love 2k12. It was the realest out of all their installments. I mean you really had to have skills to play; and with the shot stick you were able to pull off some sick moves. The sliders I use make this game play perfectly(no sliding on defense, etc.) , and love the way you can block dunk attempts; just love it! I had 2k10 and 2k11, and I turned both of them back in to gamestop; because it was way to easy to score (especially in the paint) and got boring. Had 2k13 and turned that in after the first week of its release; because that game to me just sucked on so many levels starting with the controls and etc. Besides 2k12. I own 2k14 and like that game as well; just not as much as 2k12.

how yall say 2k12 suck when its pretty much the same game as 2k11 with a few additions

@WarPig971 Which is why you update your rosters online?

ok so wheni play this game like the half time report just shows the numbers then goes to the game again and the jordon player of the game it just shows the person and then it shows the end game screen but i took the game to my friends house and played on his xbox and it shows highlights at halftime and highlights from the jordon player how come it does it on his and not mine??????????any ideas please answer!!!!!!!!!!!!

the only basketball game I will ever play

Played 2k15 with my nephew yesterday; and we both agreed that the 2k12 still plays the best out the series. Turning 2k15 in tomorrow as well. Go nhl15, fifa15, madden15!!!

Do they still make the cpu make every shot on the my player mode

whats the song in the backround 1:00

Best 2k ever and my favorite

2k12 had everything BUT CREW

I am thinking about buying this game.But i have only played 1 BBall fame before and that was like 2k8. I was wondering if the controls are easy to get use too?? someone please reply. Thanks

What are the changes?

And this is when 2K started to go downhill. While 2K13 was better than 2K12 in terms of gameplay, 2K11 still reigns as the overall best basketball game ever. I really hope 2K makes a comeback with 2K15 with their next-gen graphics and stuff.

2K11 was better. The animations and lack of spacing in 2k12 was horrible. The bumping too was annoying.

@TobiaEntertainment should I get 2k11 or 2k12

In my game in my player there is no commentary with the settings turn all the way up its for pc through steam

NBA 2k13 is great. 2k11 is best. 14&15 are basically having u saying what the heck? I just update 2k13 with 2015 NBA roster and play. Both games sucks badly and I've played 14 going on for 2 yrs. 15 1 year.

What's wrong with everybody on here who says that 2k12 is the best 2k. It was by far the worst one eve made I can't tell You how many times I tried to pass the ball on the break or pass it into the post and the player would drop or fumble the ball for no reason. With no defense being played. You could have gotten an easy score but the game says nope and makes you just drop the ball. It also always did this stupid slow turn around to make sure that you couldn't score easy points.

@tianqiwang thats when the 360 was released therefore its the default date when your 360 has been unplugged/moved and you dont have LIVE

I have this game for pc trough steam and in my player mode and association there is no commentary even though in the pressentaion tab it says that is commentary is all the way up help!!!!!

nba 2k9,2k10,2k11> nba 2k12,2k13,2k14 in graphics.

did they fix the mode where you can take your player online with friends and play against other created players. I enjoyed that last year but the matchmaking never worked i always ended up just playing head to head.

do you have to play in black and white?

whats the song in the backgroung

just got this for the xbox ! looking forward !

When will the Rooster update 2011-2012 can be downloaded in 2KSHARE?

is my xbox 360 breaking it makes a huming sorta noise

Can Classic Teams be transferred over to season mode?

song name Basketball by Kurtis Blow

should i get this or nhl 12?

@sorrymate1 the song is Fastlane

Does my player allow you to sim games

@DaPogoMaster u haf 2 download the patch before u start the game but the rosters r already updated

this is gonna be one sale at my local store for 40 bucks after xmas. worth it?

Will they make this on the vita

@Quillincy thats becasue his nickname was the mailman?

@PlaymakerMo Want to check the off season training as well as pre season games. Plus it comes back at christmas and ends in April/May so it's only 4 months after christmas.

1:03 why is the date in 2005?

so should i get 2k11 or 12

I might be getting this for my birthday is it worth it

@bigbenn23 turn off auto save bro ..it the auto save mess up the loading....tell me if it works for yall

@hyperShadicDhedgehog Can always create them or download the rookie rosters.

It doesnt freeze up on xbox 360

@campodutylagops there coming out with another nba live. next year though

How can you play without using the "2K" camera?

Is this game worth it if I have 2k11?

@icannn206 but like.. is it in the same way that it's so hard to score? like you can never get in the lane because someone is blocking your way and you can't push or run fast or anything, and you're forced to hit 3s and like 80% of the time miss? i hated that.. it's almost too realistic/hard for it to be fun in my opinion.

why arent the rosters updated?

what is the atribute that your my player starts with. Because in 2k11 it was like 40 and it was a bitch to rank up

will there be a 2k13 since theres a nba lockout?

this game play better on pc? its on sale for 10 bucks.

@TheColdest247 how did you get it for so cheap? You sure its the actual game?

Shuld i get this or fifa 12?

Can somebody please help me. When i create a team it fucks up and it duplicates the players i want cloned and i end up having 3 D.Roses and its really pissing me off because i can't make a god damn team please cna somebody help?

What is that song called the one by eminem

Is it better than 2k11? Might buy it but wanna know.

anyone know what eminem song is playing?

@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

@ASmooveGuy here's what you do -start a new season with the legends that you unlocked -trade all the legends to your team in season -export your team that has all the legends -go back to the main menu -go and load your exported team -go to manage roster and go to your exported team -trade the legends to the current teams you want them to go on ex. Michael Jordan to the bulls Thats how you can do it

Should I get NBA 2K12 or Skate 3?

Buy this game or get 2k11 for a lesser price??

@SlimShadyDuke no just pop the game in while connected to xbox live/playstation network

I feel you man... im a big live fan, especialy the 05. I tried the 2k series with that one and i had a hard time to control the players...especially on defense. Still a beautiful game but with less fun and ease to handle than Live.

I just got this game today and I'm wondering why everyone says it sucks? Can someone inform me on this. Thanks

Is this the same on ps2 n ps3 n xbox 360

Pause @ 1:01 that date on the heat vs mavs game is November 22, 2005 :\

can you play with keyboard?

Is 2k12 worth getting if u already got 2k11

@Kevo193 Get this because it will have the rookies and updated rosters.

Ok i want my first nba 2k game never played one i just want something to play with my friends... Which one to get? I heard that 2k12 is better than 13.

What team won the Greatest Team of All Time ?

well it seems like a great game but HOW MANY PLAYERS IS IT IS IT 1 OR IS IT 4

wow theres a lot of twins in the crowd

@MattJGUK What I do is buy a NBA game each 2 years but if theres a major improvement I'll get it anyway.

how come i never struggled in the d league

@kosta1987 Really? How? Can you please explain?

@UNCfanatic50 AIs can also do that in 2k11, however the 3pt shooting wasn't that cheap in 2k11 though

What's the Eminem song in this?

@ASmooveGuy you can still do that but its more difficult

The amount of basketball pun's is criminal!! haha
