You do not dare believe it more, you expect it as we speak of the sun in winter, but finally it's there. I am of course referring to our test of NBA 2K12, the basketball simulation developed by 2K Sports. Just when the lockout is finally lifted, allowing the resumption of the North American championship, while no one believed in, we finally have our final verdict. This is what is called "stick" to the news (or never be short of an apology) or I did not know!
After a stratospheric 2011 opus, the series of basketball by 2K Sports had to raise the bar even higher and to totally sit dominance, multiply the shooting long distances. But how to justify a new purchase when you've already issued an excellent copy and especially when the NBA season was the lame duck? 2K Sports had to burn a few candles in recent weeks, anxiously awaiting the lifting of the Lock Out, synonymous recovery of the season but above renewal teams, draft, host of rookies and all that makes much of the fans crack every year on the new season of their favorite sports game.
The rosters of the teams have been an update that takes into account movements finally start to the season and the grand ceremony of intense games will be allowed to proceed until the playoffs end of season. This means that the game will stick to the news of the year, which should motivate a large chunk of fans to follow the series or not. But that would not be sufficient to justify this new opus which, far from being in a patch "new season" offers many improvements.
Without revolutionizing the gameplay that's already very accurate in the series, they grow even higher toward greater accuracy and realism. The movements of the players have been worked and collisions are now considering the templates. A detail for certain but which radically transforms the way you play depending on whether you take control of a small jig or a pivot clumsy but intractable. The realism of the action is further improved and the icing on this cake comes with Shots Signatures of the majority of players that were reproduced identically. Gone are the days where all rolled arms were similar and where the shots came from long range a generic library.
The mimicry of virtual models of Stars of the NBA again reached the peaks and attention to detail is found on tattoos and shoe models faithful to reality. This painstaking work is supported by a concrete realization, with a model that has yet reached a plateau for a result just awesome. A simulation? No, a retransmission. A mimicry to the extreme with presentations of games that copy to the same generic TV. If comments are still in their original, the rest is just bluffing, and exudes passion. A passion that developers have also repeated on the field as the game controller in hand is even more intuitive than its predecessor, without sacrificing the accuracy of its gameplay.
The game is now back to the basket more natural, especially through contact management we were talking about. You can switch to control the racket a trigger and now playing with the right stick to rotate and shoot fake password for your better off balance vis-à-vis. The handling of dribbling has also been redesigned and is now much more accessible. Finally, if the shooter always fires with the right stick it is the combination of a shot with dribble that will determine the action of your player, a choice of simplicity which is more intuitive once again.
Beyond steel gameplay, its concrete realization and guarantee of playing the current season, NBA 2K12 offers a fashion legend all its own. In this mode, you can choose from one of 15 players in the NBA Hall of Fame to relive the most famous matches of their careers. A journey through time that begins as early as 50 and a broadcast quality to speed. Black and White filter, image shakes, everything is made to that delves into the atmosphere. The game rules are of course consistent with the times (the three-point has not always existed) but the attitude of AI is also a major player in this immersion. So players will be less aggressive over time, and the Dunk so common today will rarely be attempted in the earlier games. A hymn to the glory of basketball, a trip that will transport all fans of this sport. If despite all these qualities you are not yet convinced, let's finish with improving the way my player that promises a lifetime even solo and adding the new Training Camp that will allow you, if you are new to series, discover the rich smooth gameplay.
Difficult to remain unmoved by such a monument of sports game. Far from limiting itself to propose a simple update (late) rosters of teams, teams from 2K sports have been working on the few weaknesses that made the game even more technical and less accessible. Dribbling are simplified, the game in the paint was muscular and AI always proves too difficult to maneuver. The fashion legend alone will suffice to convince those who love orange ball to rebound to capture the opportunity to relive the conditions at the time of the games while the anthology will be online as usual witnessed a season Virtual equally fierce than the NBA. Necessary, simply.
