In years past, NBA 2k series has been the gem of sports games world-wide. Fans would clamor for any updates and footage that 2K could provide. Is this still the case?
Techtorial: Amazon has updated its warehouse giving away big discounts to used games with prices starting from 22 cents going up.
Twinfinite takes a look at NBA 2K12's ads and what makes them so great. Also, Brian Wilson in short shorts...
2K Sports seems to have pulled the plug on its old online servers. Users playing All-Pro Football 2K8, NHL 2K10, College Hoops 2K8 and the year-old NBA 2K12 multiplayer have noticed a lack of online support across the last three weeks.
... pulling the online MP from a game that's only a year old.
The box says it has an online MP mode, and I'm sure people are still playing 2k12 online (probably many people who aren't enthusiastic about the whole Jay-Z layer they vomitted over the game), so they should keep supporting the online MP mode for years to come.
That is real cheap on the part of 2K sports..I'm sure many people enjoyed playing 2K12 online and it just came out last year...
Why is this not illegal? When are games going to be treated seriously by the law? If this happened with anything else, people would be up in arms wanting blood.
I think the only fair thing to do is that when people buy these games, included in the sticker price is a bond. After the servers shut down, 2K (in this case) have to pay them the bond back, whether it be bank deposit or game credits.
I think next-gen developers are going to be doing this to many more games. It basically forces you to buy the newer one. Why people still buy these games is outstanding. Have they no freaking morals?
I'm not sure where you're looking but all the forums i visit are WAY more into 2K12 then Gears of War 3...anytime an insight is dropped it's scrutinized and has a couple hundred replies on it. It's very hyped if you look in the right places
I am not a huge sports game fan but I do play some Madden, NHL, and NBA2K from time to time with friends. I am having a really hard time caring about a new basketball game when there isn't even a basketball season in the works right now due to the lockout.
I can't imagine that the lockout will have a positive effeect on the sales of 2K12.
It's getting plenty of hype, especially for an annual sports title.
As fan of the game you'd probably come across news and such just like any other year because you'd be looking for it. But generally speaking there is too many big games coming this year and 2k12 is just gonna get buried in their hype.
