Well,i'll miss out on the content since i'm buying the game without doing the pre order thing.

Outside_ofthe_Box4268d ago

Yeah it sucks. I'm not pre ordering it either because I'm not going to blindly buy the game. I'm gonna wait for reviews to see what has been improved. I'm especially looking for My Player mode improvements.

@Outside_ofthe_Box

you don't have to buy it if you pre-order it... just pre-order it for the DLC, and if you decide not to get it then cancel your pre-order.

crxss4268d ago (Edited 4268d ago )

@NYC_Gamer

if you're going to get the game why wouldn't you pre-order it for free extra features? so confusing...

NYC_Gamer4268d ago

The local shop that i buy my games from doesn't offer pre orders..Gamestop is out of the question since i'd rather pay 60 bucks without added tax.

nevin14268d ago

lol, Dunk/3Point contest was free in 2K9-2K11.

Anyway, I hope they bring back My player pick up game.

bahabeast4268d ago

I dnt wnt the gameplay mechanics too change too much IMO 2k12 felt reali good playing, my player mode needs some overhauling though and its what im realli looking forward to.

Cueil4268d ago

they need to beef up the My Player mode for sure... would really like to see more control when attacking the rim

Cueil4268d ago

Are we going to get good music or is Jay Z and his trashy friends going to ruin the music?

nevin14267d ago (Edited 4267d ago )

lol.

The song in this trailer sounds good. But the soundtrack shouldnt be full of Jay Z tracks.

No, don't stop. We need competition beetween sports franchises in gaming. Push on and don't stop or the 'winner' will become lazy

PapaBop2058d ago

EA and competition in sports games don't belong in the same sentence. They've had healthy competition in many different sports genres and the ones they could, they monopolised the licenses to effectively kill the competition. Poor Konami in PES were feeding off of scraps with their CL license.. EA went and bought that too. With them, there is no such thing as healthy competition.

I don't know about that, Nba live was the basketball game to get until Nba live 07 came out.

CraigGOA2058d ago

If you look at Metacritic NBA2K games have constantly outdone NBA Live. And a lot forget how much of a jump the original NBA2K was as it was only on the Sega Dreamcast which many gamers ignored due to pure ignorance and lack of knowledge on just how great that console was.

Minute Man 7212058d ago (Edited 2058d ago )

The last good ones were Live 04 n 05 for ps2 era n Live 06 last gen

Einhander19712058d ago

Dear EA just stop making games full stop.

XiNatsuDragnel2058d ago

EA stop making any games by that note.

The man who sold the world from MGS V? If any song is to be remembered from that game it's Here's to you by Joan Baez/Ennio Morricone. That scene gave me goosebumps.

Stupid article. Music in games should be recognized for their impact like the crossing into Mexico in RDR. Not just tunes on the disc

Top 10 Basketball Video Games

Basketball is a sport that any child in America has played at one point or another. It was one of the key sports in gym classes across the country, and only continues to grow because it’s accessibility.

All you need is a ball and a basket.

If you’re like me, however, you’ll soon realize that you aren’t that great at basketball.

Despite this, you try and emulate Michael Jordan with the tongue hanging out, or, for kids today, doing three goggles after hitting a bucket. Still, at the end of the day, we may not have a future in the NBA.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the game we love.

I would add a couple personal favorites from LONG ago. NBA In The Zone...cuz you could play a MJ (though they changed his number and name...which you could change back...it was STILL MJ...and it was before NBA Live 2000). Double Dribble...cuz you could finally see dunks! NBA ShootOut...cuz they finally added a bit of skill to shooting. Oh...and Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird One On One...cuz it's the first one I ever played.
