It's simple. As a total package, it's the best basketball game ever made, but underneath, there are still a lot of problems that need to be address for 2K12:

-The lack of offensive rebounding exists because they aren't any players properly boxing out or fighting for position. Because of thus, the defensive rebounding prevails because he already as position closer to the basket by default.

- Players cutting towards the perimeter instead of towards the paint when the lane is wide open. The severely cuts down on offensive proficiency and efficiency. Running plays is still cumbersome in my opinion because of the flawed off ball movement.

- Incorrect passing types for the wrong situations

- On-ball defense is atrocious

The thing with 2K11 is that it does so many things right that the things it does wrong are easily glossed over by the fan base. Make no mistake, it's still the best basketball game ever, but it's far from being the crown prince when it comes to basketball fundamentals 101. I'll put it this way: it's an excellent representation of the NBA but just a meager representation of basketball.

It's your opinion, can't argure with that.

In my opinion, 2K11 wasn't the worst. The worst was 2K4 (haven't played 2K and 2K1, though). May I ask, what made 2K4 better than 2K11?

I have full confidence in 2K Sports and NBA 2K12. 2010 will be a banner year for the series because not only was the game considered the best of the series, but also considered the best B-Ball game ever and in the topic of discussion of best sports game ever. Add that to the fact that they put the most iconic basketball player to ever grace the court on the cover, and then your only competitor bows out after trying to pull the same trick every year of lack luster gameplay and off the charts marketing. As a development company you couldn't dream of a better scenario.

So the game gets the highest scores ever for a 2k game, wins basically every sports game of the year award, described by many publication as the best game to ever represent their sport, so me calling you a troll for basically saying everything about the game sucks is justified. The game is not perfect and there are some legitimate complaints we can all agree upon, but you went far and beyond which make me question your real intent.
