NBA 2K12 Launch Trailer

NBA 2K12 Launch Trailer

Scratching that itch

Written by osubluejacket on 05 October 11 at 13:01

If you're anything like me (and who's to say you're not) you enjoy the finer things in life: good whiskey, Cincinnati-style chili and sports... lots and lots of sports. You probably also know that we're not going to have much (if any) high-end professional basketball this year.

Before the wailing, gnashing of teeth and secret rejoicing of Minnesota Timberwolves fans begins, the folks at 2K hope to scratch that itch and fill that niche with their most recent entry into their NBA 2K franchise. Enjoy the launch trailer, but watch out for Dirk Nowitzki's doe eyes at the 1:13 mark... they're dreamy.



NBA 2K12 is available now in North America and will be released tomorrow (October 6th) in Australia and Friday (October 7th) in Europe... where all of the NBA players seem to be going anyway.

WNBA Teams? You see with the Twins having their worst season in years, the Vikings are 0-4, Timberwolves (as mentioned in the article) are a joke (literally, look above), we only have the Minnesota Lynx to cheer for now. I can't stand to watch the T-Wolves nonetheless the Lynx, but it's all we got now, seeing as they are up 1-0 in the WNBA Finals.

Has someone finally trained Wombats to play basketball? I spent seven years trying to teach those marsupials to play hockey, but with no effect... DAMN IT!
In Soviet Russia, game plays you!

Is it me or did the graphics look N64ish? Dirk looked like one of the guys on Goldeneye.
Smurfquake - Well, looks like I'm gonna get kicked off the website. Nice getting to know you all. Find me on Xbox if you'd like.

If you've ever played basketball before you'd know a smaller ball is harder for a guy to shoot anyway, or at least in mine and my teammates eyes it always was.

It has to do with the insane amount of just lay-ups in the WNBA that I find it boring.

Honestly, the NBA is the least important pro sport (in America), so at least it isn't something major we're losing. xD

bluerivers - to each their own, but the refrain of 'where's the graphical improvement' is a common one here. For instance:

I've been told that Skyrim looks exactly like Oblivion. Oblivion looks exactly like Morrowind. Morrowind is barely a step up from Arena and Daggerfall. If we took this to it's logical conclusion, I could play a game that looks as good as Skyrim for free, and that takes up less than a thousandth of the memory.

(or Halo Reach = Marathon; FFXIV = FFI; Battlefield 3 = Battlefield 1, and so on).

I recommend humbly not comparing apples with apples when it comes to graphics. It never helps.
