      @JACQUEZ JOHNSON 2k16 is actually not as good as 11 for a few reasons (of course my opinion) at release 2k16 was horrible, still right now, it feels too similar to 2k15 (ps4/xbox edition), pay to win, less game modes, its such a shame though, cause while 2k11 and 2k16 were good sports game, they still aren't good enough, its actually a shame i have to rate a sports game in 2 ways, as a sports game, and as a video game, quick example
      i would rate 2k11 a 9.0/10 compared to other sports game, but comparing it to video games in general, a 3.0/10, while 2k 16 would be a 8.5/10 sports game and a 2.5/10 video game in general, and the reason why is because sports game release yearly so it doesn't even look like much care his put in to it, theres no heart in it, when im playing it, i dont feel like the developers made the game because they want me to enjoy it, but rather they want me to spend as much money as possible (and i know the devs dont decide that) but still

    I miss the greatest players thing. The vibe they recreated with the resolution or color of the camera during the game was perfect.
    It also gave those legendary players their deserved shine.
    I mean imagine if they kept updating this, like being able to remake Wilts 100 points game or other great historic matchups of teams and players etc, like Kobe who was 3-1 vs the Suns but this time you solo army win the game.
    Or Lebron solo vs the GS like last time, but you play the first game again that JR screwed up but you win.

    2k12 when it first came out felt similar to 2k11. In the Jordan challenge it was like I wish I could go back in time again and but more in depth. 2k12 brought that and it brought back to life some of the underdogs and forgotten athletes this game has produced. Players like Muggsy Bouges, Penny Hardaway, Chris Jackson and etc. It was an exciting time because growing up we had to always create hella players. Creating Barkley and Reggie was nothing but imagine trying to create ALL the classic role players too. 2k did the retro community a favor and allowed us to finally see the “small” guys get love in nba 2k for the first time.

  • @Loose89
    @Loose89 5 років тому +29

    Creating a legend needs to come back, sometimes I’d rather play as a rookie, an up and coming player or a former star and play out their career as opposed to my career. But 2K is all about the microtransactions now so we’ll never see it again

  • @justeping9469
    @justeping9469 3 роки тому +3

    Still come back and play 2k12 till this day. This game is the only 2k where I felt like I had "total control" of my player at all times. The signature moves for everyone was on another level. The best portrayals of any 2k. I love to see Wilt Chamberlain's and Rick Barry's underhand freethrow shots. Other players old and new sigs. This game also has the best defense hands down of any 2k. You had to play smart. Now playing with Zion and the pelicans from the UBR! More epic awesomeness!

    I’m pretty sure that rookies from 2011 were only absent when the game first came out. There was an update later, after the lockout which added them in. I’m not sure it’s attainable on console anymore but the PC version has a popular unofficial patch which contains them.

    2k12 was nice at the time! it improved a lot when it comes to features but it took a few steps back with gameplay
    I don't remember all the flaws, but everyone wanted to go back and play 2k11
    besides the speed problem, the defense was too OP so you had a hard time getting to the basket
    and Post Hops were kinda OP, and fadeways were easy to make
    and in MyCareer, the way you earned your salary was "not fun". if you wanted to buy MJ's jump shot you had to play 2 seasons to be able to earn that amount of money
    those are some things that I remember.

    If you want this game because of its features, this was the one to go to especially if you like historic NBA. If you want the gameplay of it, it's hard to go with this. Post defense is OP, hop steps are OP, somehow tall and slow centers can catch up to lightning quick players, and post fades are too easy despite the OP post defense. Not as bad as 2K18 later on but you had to rely on a good outside strategy because there was no way you could attack the hoop. The post controls were very nice though and you could spam Dirk if you used him right.
    This is one of the better 2Ks but 2K11 will always reign supreme.

    No one's gonna talk about how players change their jumpshots depending on their positioning while shooting on the 3 point range? The first time I played this game that's the first thing I've noticed and I was like "deym that's kinda cool though"

    I miss those Jordan challenges for me and the rest of the legendary players. They should bring it back add some new players like kobe shaq lbj tmac curry etc.

      Omg I can't like this enough. It wasn't perfect but dam was it good. I don't even have time to go into how good it was. And they could have built upon it as a base moving forward and had true greatness.

    2k14 was the last one I was playing. Still had the good animations and the good legends and has the good mod support still. 2k15 is where modding drops off and you get kind of a slower game with too much shooting and BS in it.

    The spin move with Lebron was SOOOOOO cheesy. Easy buckets every time 😂

    Once 2k13 came out I either kept playing 2k12 or eventually just stopped playing 2k. I didn't really care for 2k14 or 15. And the only other 2k I played alot of was 2k18. Still 2k12 to me was the most entertaining
