With No EA Sports Sim Basketball Title Until 2012, Are You Confident in NBA 2K12?

Actually I did, but refresh my memory where they said they wanted to take out the shot stick and replace it with analog dribble system, better yet post a link.

Lol at 2K11 being overrated. The game is fantastic. MJ is just the icing on the cake.

2k11 easily one of the best sim basketball games around... the problem is that it is built on sliders and u must tweak sliders for a few weeks and here and there after updates to get the best game out of it.....sometimes it can be too much work... but at the same time.... nba live has never blown it out the water so to say that 2k sucks and your waiting on live... doesnt make any sense.....

You mean they give you the option to adjust the game to suit your individual playing style, this is not a bad thing and is completely optional.

If this was Facebook, I'd like this, remove my like, and like it again and repeat the process until myspace gets popular. Apply no homo wherever applicable. As most people know, the only reason there is to not liking 2K, is A. You suck B. You'd rather be dunking from the free-throw line with Andrew Bynum and love watching the nets go up before the ball gets there. This isn't NBA Jam and it's not NBA Live 2005. It makes me wonder, if people think a sim basketball video game, is good graphics and realistic faces. 2K is going to absolutely destroy EA, you really think 2K even considers them competition, seriously. 2K gradually improves their games year by year, and will continue to do so. Keep in mind, Madden is falling off, and 2K can't make a football game, I'm sure they've been really upset about that since 2005. Yes there are things that need to be improved, but I swear you'd think people would realize it's a video game. People are asking for Jack Nicholson on the sideline, or post game interviews with players talking off a script. Passing is good in this game, not perfect but good. Dribbling is perfect, too many people complaining about isomotion moves cause they can't do em. I seriously think people need to jump in practice mode and stay there for 5 hours, instead of jumping straight into games. Most of you aren't good anyway, and just need practice. If you'd notice, none of the great 2K users, such as myself, complain about anything.

Everything i was gone say is right there! Well said! ( clicking the like button ).
People dont like 2k because they havent LEARNED the game. When i first got it i practiced. I dont try to find glitches and all that, i actually used a bum team and learned how to shoot with EVERYONE ( not just the stars, but EVERYONE) learned their range, plus, negatives, dribble moves, so bout time i went online i was BEASTING! I play with the damn Sacremento Kings and im damn near unbeatable because im not predictable. I can go for 30 with anyone on any giving game. THATS SIM! THATS WHAT HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE! Thats why people have career games. What alot of people dont realize is every game its someone different on your team who will play very well just like in real life. If u quit forcing 30 shots with Lebron and Kobe and becoming so damn predictable, you would learn how to play the game. I play with bum teams because it forces you to play a straight up game and learn how to play with that team

Fact remains,I been a loyalist when it has come to 2ksports,years ago i always prefered the NFL Games over Madden because of 2k's work ethic & dedication to improve for the fans. 2k NBA & NBA Live I was always torn between years ago though,but since 2008,2K NBA has set the bar & NBA Live could'nt reach it whatsoever. With that said,I feel 2k should'nt get too comfortable because 2k NBA the last few years have been a little repetitive with gameplay,player & crowd animations,not to mention the Game freezes more than an average game,there are many glitches & exploits & the servers online are miserable. I also feel myplayer has seen very little improvement from last year to this years game. When you factor all those problems together it is a major issue to a videogame that's proclaimed the greatest basketball game ever. Now not knocking 2k but if EA actually gives fans what they want next year & 2k makes tiny improvements like they do ever year,then i would give NBA Elite(Live) a try,because in the end i care about what NBA game is quality,& once i got used to 2k11 even on a higher difficulty with sliders that make it hard to score i still manage to score 110+ points. 2K11 is a solid game but i ooze with basketball knowledge & love a realistic Run plays style of basketball Game,& i play 2k11 online & i face kids that pick the Heat & drive everytime with LeBron & Wade do the euro step & score nearly everytime until I use 1-3-1 Zone. I want a Game where the more you know about basketball the better you are cause almost everybody i've played online has either used exploits in the game or have used a "Run & Gun I know nothing about basketball" Strategy.

True,... not me though. I love playing against those dummys personally lol. Since i have Bball knowledge i can adjust to any strategy. If u zone it? ok i'll shoot u out. U wanna run in gun? ok I'll slow the tempo up. You wanna drive? Ill body u up! It dont make me no nevermind. Now some glitches is harder to stop then others, but its a counter to all of that stuff and u learn how to stop it

First off, I never said that they were going to. I said they HINTED at analog dribbling, so don't put words in my mouth (where did I say anything about taking the shot stick out??) and since you're so bright, go find the link for yourself.

Sadly to say, I have lost all confidence in EA once the 2k series came out
