The NBA may well be in lockdown, but a demo for this year's instalment of 2K Sport's yearly basketball game has still hit the marketplace. I'm afraid that it is exclusive to Gold LIVE members for the time being though.
The NBA 2K12 demo takes up 1.11 GB of space on your hard drive and can be downloaded from here.
The NBA 2K franchise is back and bigger than ever delivering more action than any NBA game to date. Check out some of this year’s improvements such as Total Shot Stick Control & NEW Post Play in the highly anticipated NBA 2K12 demo featuring a re-match of the NBA 2011 Finals, Heat vs. Mavericks. In the full version, fans will be treated to several other groundbreaking game innovations including the opportunity to finally END THE DEBATE as to who are the best teams and players of all time with the NEW NBA’s Greatest mode featuring Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and more.
Alongside the demo, a handful of screenshots have been slam-dunked onto our desk as well. Gameplay footage can also be viewed here. Have a look at these if you're on the bench about whether to try the demo.
NBA 2K12 is due to be released on October 4th in North America and October 7th in Europe.
