Short And Sweet Review: NBA 2K12

Basketball by far is my favorite sport to play on and off a video game console.  The traditional graphical overhaul of the 2K series astounds me each year not including last years game.  This years game makes a huge jump over 2K11.  Gameplay has always been the core of the series, tight gameplay and a plethora of animations.  Shooting animations has made a huge improvement as well.  You have so much control over your players this time around down to your footwork and deciding which hand to put the ball up with.  My player is a lot faster this time.  Last year it took way too much time before you even got a chance to play in the NBA.  You can actually simulate games so you can actually finish your career.  Association mode is back as well but the Greatest mode is where it shines.  All your stars and more make a comeback.  This mode is so authentic to its specific time period.  This is a great all around package that i can see myself playing for quite a long time.
