There’s so much more to NBA 2K12 than we can get to here, plus we haven’t been able to check out Online Association or Team Up yet. Suffice to say, there are a few quirks that mean it’s not “perfectâ€, including some painfully long load times, repetitive commentary when you get further into My Player or have to repeat historic matchups (which, ahem, we had to do a few times), or questionable decisions around DLC and the removal of the Crew mode. Even so, the combination of sublime gameplay, unprecedented level of compelling historic team matchups, and an excellent update to My Player puts NBA 2K12 at a level no hoops game has ever been. The absolute mountaintop.

No sports game has ever made me this excited to play. Seriously it’s all I’ve been able to think about for the last week. The realistic, challenging, gorgeously animated gameplay carries across a cornucopia of modes. Playing legends of the past, the stars of today, and my own personal NBA rookie are all different flavors of f#$%ing rad. Any one of these modes would be reason enough to purchase the game, but all of them together make for a game that any basketball fan has to pick up.

Online shortcomings and the lack of including last year’s rookie class on the rosters until the lockout lifts aside (thanks for that dumb rule, NBA), you won’t find a better franchise mode, single-player mode, historical mode, or presentation package anywhere else. NBA 2K12 isn’t just the best basketball game; it’s the most complete sports sim I’ve ever played. This is the new benchmark.

As I said before NBA 2K11 was, in my opinion, one of the best basketball games ever made, and more of the same is welcome. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, 2K12 just made the wheel a whole lot prettier, and that’s good enough for me. If you are a basketball fan, there is absolutely no reason not to get this game. Check it out, play it, love it, and just hope that 2K can find another way to outdo themselves when 2K13 comes around next year.

Some technical problems aside, NBA 2K12 is a wonderful game and definitely one of the best games in the sports genre till date.

We want to believe they’re more about "the love of the game, the spirit of competition," and other such aspirational clichés. Inevitably, though, decisions are made not for the benefit of the fans, but for the advancement of the corporation (or union, or owner, etc.). As it stands, NBA 2K12 will have to settle for being the closest thing to perfect I’ve ever seen in an offline sports video game. But it could have done much more — it could have saved our season.
