Beats its predecessor, but the devil is in the details ...

Vorneweg- I played the game two complete seasons, before and after the various updates, and have sufficient experience with 2K11 and 2K7 / 9 in order to allow me to review products, I think, anyway. If you disagree Video- comments allowed)
But now the main thing -...
The game itself is well done, the gameplay is almost always liquid, the players have more or less accurate of values ​​Kyle Korver eg hits from downtown as he wants, is otherwise, however, quite a rivet, D12 dominating the zone, Durant split the Verteidgung with his pull-up jumper beautifully 2k, one recognizes the strengths of the players in the game again immediately.
The number of moves has been dramatically improved, anno 2012 only sees every 5th slam alike;) No, seriously, the developers have made efforts to improve the movement sequences, depending on how the player is to the basket, runs the layup or Dunk slightly different, I like it well.
The presentation is as always very good, you could really think to have a television broadcast in front of him. The commentators are once again good to very good, but as always in sports games, sooner or later you have everything belongs to drölfzigsten times, and the first fleet saying is trite therefore. the selection of comments is however perfectly adequate, no fear we hear no spell five times in the same game.
Since I only play the Association- mode, the My Player mode is to me totally damn whether now or does not know how good or bad he can play I let sidelined because ichs think stupid, with a self-made player be able to play for a game in the NBA. I prefer the somewhat more realistic. But to each his own, whom something I do not need the gefällt-. We have all heard also from the FIFA games, you build your own Star together and play against the rest of the world, obtain fame and Ehre- as I said, if you like. So it is pretty buggy and with the Onlinemodus- want what the connectivity is concerned not exactly brilliant Being does not bother me but also games like said only the Association mode, why not incorporate both modes in my rating.

However, not everything that glitters is gold, because the devil is, as so often in the details.
The mostly strong animations have now and then partly massive dropouts, for example, takes the center at block through the body of the attacker to the ball and smashes the ball into the spectator such Clippingfehler existed until now in every part. Another example, which was also present in my first NBA 2K part from 2007, is the collision detection of the players. Partially more than strange when a player blocks the ball you in slow motion but sees that although the hand goes to the ball, but 20 cm "too short" and thus would miss the ball, the ball is but blocked anyway. Very very unfortunate that this yet known errors occur repeatedly, year after year. Because so much work can not do to program the Clippingverhalten the player wise the. And if there still a lot of work power as a customer who has paid for the game, I expect just that such errors do not occur, and that's that.
In addition, some bugs me have geplagt- as had my Orlando Magic incredible in the first season blocks 24.5 per game- Howard is good, but as good then not;)
Always came back before, false statistics, throw quotas etc. For the average Joe players probably insignificant; but if you are like me really interested in basketball and also dealt with the stats sheet the player, the union reports, quotas and various tables such bugs simply more than annoying.
In my current season, with the latest update, this Statistikbugs are however rarely occurred, would be highly gratifying if 2k would gefixed that.

In summary, I can say that the game offers everything beat the basketball heart beat faster. Action, tactics, draft, and for Basketballnerds which may begin with words such as backdoor cut, Full Court Press or 3-2 zone somewhat, an endless number of ways to virtually run riot on the court and to hone tactics.
The bugs spoil the overall impression, despite the otherwise superb game, I can only awarded 4 stars.
What, however, does not prevent me to invest again many many hours in this year's NBA 2K series of representatives.
A clear recommendation to all those who can do something with the sport of basketball and are willing to einzuarbeiten- a little in the matter and the control because, as everywhere, the principle applies here: Easy to learn, hard to master.

Now please excuse me, I have to do- I still have to teach this Ricky Rubio jump shot would be ridiculous if the Spanish prodigy would not learn the ..
