NBA 2K12 GOTY Edition Coming Only to Best Buy

NBA 2K12 GOTY Edition Coming Only to Best Buy

Stolen!

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 16 February 12 at 02:41 | Credit to Hustlinonradio

2K Sports has announced a new deal today which will see Best Buy become the exclusive retailer of the NBA 2K12 Game of the Year Edition (at least, until it's traded into Gamestop). The GOTY edition will come with the "Legends Showcase" DLC as well as a commemorative poster featuring the three cover stars: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and a player from the L.A. Lakers whose name I refuse to say.

Ugh...fine...Magic Johnson.

The Game of the Year Edition will be available in North America for $49.99 upon release. No other regional availability was explicitly announced, but we'll keep on the lookout for such information. NBA 2K12 won 26 Sports Game of the Year awards and is commonly regarded as the greatest basketball sim of all-time, if not the greatest sports game ever, as well. An exclusivity deal like this is the best steal of the season by someone not wearing a jersey that says Rondo on the back.

If you want even more bang for your buck, check out the 2K Sports MLB/NBA Combo Pack. The NBA 2K12 GOTY Edition is due out at Best Buy on March 11th.

Nekroflame - So apparently the PS4 is not backwards compatible. Let's hope the 720 doesn't go down the same route.

NBA 2K12 imo is not a pick up and play game (took me 5 games with my friends to actually feel like i was helping when we were playing 2v2) which is why i would choose FIFA over it
N0T PENNYS B0AT - It isn't cool to sound like a grumpy old man regarding the Xbox One. Take time to form a real opinion.

Not a fan of this, since I hate Best Buy. But hopefully this lowers the price on non-GOTY 2k12s so I can pick one of those for cheaper.

They can come out with a whole new GOTY edition but fail to patch a simple glitched achievement...

this is probably a market test to see if it sells, and if it does, they will sell it each year........and shut down the servers 2 weeks after they sell it

Don't think the general populous of consumers interested in this game would really care, to be quite honest.

okay here is how this works the achievement the whole shebang is kina glitched if u played the dlc before getting the original 950 then u cant get the achievement. in other words get the original 950 then when the achievement doesnt pop buy the legends showcase dlc get all the achievement in that then the whole shebang achievement will pop if u are like me and played the dlc the day it came out and didnt have 49/50 original achievements u are waiting patiently for a patch

The 2k series is the gaming series that doesn't have servers shut down within 1 to 2 year period after its release, right?

dertswa687o said:They can come out with a whole new GOTY edition but fail to patch a simple glitched achievement...That's because 2K Sports doesn't care AT ALL about us. I mean, if we're having a problem with the achievements that means we bought the game, and since they already have our money we can all go die in a fire for all they care.

I'm not gonna lie, I did not like this game. I thought 2k11 was a lot better. I personally don't understand how it got sports GOTY awards. FIFA 12 was clearly better IMO. I'm just hoping that EA comes out with a decent basketball next year after 2 years off since 2K has been a disappointment the past 2 years with glitches nonstop or overall bad gameplay with bad AI logic.
