Mann this is when 2k was at its peak, no VC, no packs, just grinding and playing, I put more hours into 2k11 and 2k12, than I have with any of the newer 2k’s
Bro my first 2K was 2K12 and I didn’t even have it when it came out. I wanted a basketball game but my dad didn’t trust the newer, more expensive game, so he got 2K12 to see if I liked it. I’m so glad he did because I loved every single part of it. I still think it’s one of the best of all the 2Ks
The best 2k by far... No VC that you have too actually pay for, no paying for tattoos, no paying for gear... No paying for shit.. Just straight too the point real hoopers feel me..
@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
man these old 2k games are something to look back on, no matter good or bad i dont ever think 2k can replicate the energy and love that they use to put into these games. Maybe nostalgia is talking but before vc, 2k was so different
2k12 was one of my favorites. I never had Xbox Live, so it was all about the offline play for me. The NBA legend mode was sick, and I personally think 2k12 had the last good soundtrack.
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.
I’m telling y’all 2k12 was THE MOST SLEPT ON 2k... it was so good and underrated and you actually had to play smart instead of spamming the dribble stick. The only broken thing in the game was the Spin Dunk animation. It was basically unstoppable.
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
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.
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 believe sports games are the biggest reason current generation doesn't have backwards compatibility as previous generations did. 2k12 is better then 2k20 change my mind
2k12 was and still is my favorite 2k game of all time. That 2k game was the game game that I put the most time and effort in, even after the launch of 2k13 I went right back to 12. An excellent soundtrack, amazing presentation and graphics, the mycareer was dope as hell (I wish they'd bring back skill points so it wouldn't be a play to win kinda game). 2k12 was just the best in my opinion
I still play 2k12 on my ps3 tbh since I haven't upgraded yet and I like it. I can't help but rage over the movement when it comes to dribbling tho because there was no possible way for you to actually go by your defender in 12 compared to what 2k13 and all the games after that did. I still rage over it but I like it anyway
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.
2K12 was the best 2K game, and I own all the games from 2K on the Dreamcast all the way to 2K17 on Xbox One (stopped playing the series after that game after I realize what garbage the series had become).
Yooo I have this game with disc for PS3 no scratches and the ball looks realistic with a needle on it and now I want to buy 2K11 for PS3 as well in Christmas
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.
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.
This game was really underrated. Just think about it, they took 2K11 For many people is considered the greatest 2K of all time and they built upon it with more modes better graphics, and one could argue a smoother gameplay. This game might be low-key the goat of 2K. Not to mention, the soundtrack is pretty solid as well.
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.
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.
I remember playing my career and creating athletic small forward.Improved dunk and shoot in traffic.Spin dunk was unstoppable,I just could dunk over guys almost every possesion.Still remember those animations and sprite replays
One thing that really ticked me off about 2k12 is how OP Derrick Rose was. Granted he did just come off his MVP season, but I kid you not I had an easier time putting the clamps on Lebron James in my career then I did with rose. He never missed lay-ups, always got phantom and1s. It was just super frustrating
2K 12 was the best in my opinion because they did a lot of retro stuff for the Lakers the Chicago bulls the Boston Celtics the New York Knicks and so on...
The DLC with legends made this game the greatest experience in exploring the past and all of its legends. It was the only mode where Stockton actually had shorter shorts than others despite being a Stockton from 94 and not 88, and finally having Stockton look the part while wearing the classic Jazz jerseys of Mardi Gras Nola made it the most authentic classic players and teams ever got. Once I got that mode I abandoned everything else and I haven’t bought another 2k since
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"
On PS2, it's virtually the same as 2K11, minus Yao Ming (retired) and with 4 Bulls teams, a Celtics and Lakers teams each. The bench after 6th man was filled with randoms, and the layup glitch persisted, even if you turn everything up.
I used to play 2k12 and didn't play again until 2k19 I was like wtf happened to the graphics??! They looked so much more realistic now they look to cartoonish..
The 2K13 review will drop in about 3 hours.
I had to reupload this due to it being taken down, so if you could leave a like it'd help it get back where it was.

Dom 2k12 was my first 2k
Had a feeling I had seen this before.
Dom hey dom great video but I have a question. Who is your favorite nba player of all time
Change the description it says 2k12 review will come out in three hours
Who else had 2k12?
not me insert sad face
I had it on PS3
Jaru Bee bought it about 4 times
I still have it
got all 2K, and play old 2K in 5K ; pretty gorgeous.
If you played this on ps3 & had the roster with the rookies BEFORE the lockout ended YOU WELCOME because that was my work
Tonio5100 my Guy 💯
I salute you G
U a real one bro
Thanks
A real one
2k12 had its problems, but the presentation was beautiful and the soundtrack list was one of the greatest of all time
Yea I loved the sound track. Best IMO in the 2k series.
2k13 has the best by far
@@alexanderschdroski5936 lol really nba 2k13 soundtrack when jay z killed the bball game
Name 1 song other than "Basketball"
Because the soundtrack is trash.
Mann this is when 2k was at its peak, no VC, no packs, just grinding and playing, I put more hours into 2k11 and 2k12, than I have with any of the newer 2k’s
Still is a fact
Same man same
2k12 is where I fell in love with the post fadeaway.
The post game and controls definitely peaked that year.
Facts! I used the Mavs and Dirk Nowitzki was unstoppable. That was the first game I actually felt like I was playing Dirk
2k12 had the best post game out of all the 2ks
Fadeaways on 2K12 were unstoppable. That was my go to playing style. And once they started to double just kick it out for 3’s
Bro my first 2K was 2K12 and I didn’t even have it when it came out. I wanted a basketball game but my dad didn’t trust the newer, more expensive game, so he got 2K12 to see if I liked it. I’m so glad he did because I loved every single part of it. I still think it’s one of the best of all the 2Ks
Same 🥺
Same
Same
Nice bro
Real fans saw this when it first drop
Caleb Perkins here’s your cookie 🍪
The best 2k by far... No VC that you have too actually pay for, no paying for tattoos, no paying for gear... No paying for shit.. Just straight too the point real hoopers feel me..
2k11 was the best
no situation mode, so 2k11 is better imo
@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
Im still playing 2k12.. still love it..
Same
man these old 2k games are something to look back on, no matter good or bad i dont ever think 2k can replicate the energy and love that they use to put into these games. Maybe nostalgia is talking but before vc, 2k was so different
The fog effect to the classic arenas are amazing!! and the multiple scoreboards!!! why did 2k get soooooo lazyyyyy.
They found out about how profitable myteam and my career
@@Solznmid And yet they never update them 😂😂😂 just more cringe stories in mycareer and new cards and challenges in MyTeam
2k12 soundtrack had that underground fire
This game holds a special place in my heart because this was my first 2k game I ever played had and bought
IMO this is the most underrated 2k of all time it got stuck in 2k11s shadow even tho it was literally as good as it
2K12 was my first 2K
Saiyan Prince same
Mine was 13
Saiyan Prince mines too
2k 10 was mine
NBA2K was my first.
That number 22 generic Davis was unstoppable 😂
I know 😂😂
BROOOO 😂😂😂😂
It’s crazy because to this day 2k12 is the highest rated 2k of all time
BASKETBALL ITS MY FAVORITE SPORT.. I love it when THEY DRIBBLE UP AND DOWN THE COURT 🎶🎶
This was the first 2k i played its my favorite no cap.
Same

Or Lebron solo vs the GS like last time, but you play the first game again that JR screwed up but you win.
Bro NBAs greatest mode, association mode, and Create a legend was so much fun.
I’m telling y’all 2k12 was THE MOST SLEPT ON 2k... it was so good and underrated and you actually had to play smart instead of spamming the dribble stick. The only broken thing in the game was the Spin Dunk animation. It was basically unstoppable.
Jim S Yes 😂😂😂😂 that was my go to
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
The lockout ruined this game.. by the time the lockout was over nobody was trying to play this game I rather keep playing 2k11
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.

Can't wait for that 2k14 review. Best graphics in a basketball game ever
My fav 2k
You forgot about nba live 2014
g g One of the best ones on next-gen besides the CAP part. Nonetheless, one of the best ones.
That was when i start to play this game, best game so far.
A small detail from this game,I liked the vibrant and rumbling animations, it enhanced the attitude that the game and that year's season held
I believe sports games are the biggest reason current generation doesn't have backwards compatibility as previous generations did. 2k12 is better then 2k20 change my mind
Facts 12 was my favorite
2K20 is trash 12 was actually neat and extremely underrated
2k5 is my first love , 9th grade played the hell out of it.
2k12 was and still is my favorite 2k game of all time. That 2k game was the game game that I put the most time and effort in, even after the launch of 2k13 I went right back to 12. An excellent soundtrack, amazing presentation and graphics, the mycareer was dope as hell (I wish they'd bring back skill points so it wouldn't be a play to win kinda game). 2k12 was just the best in my opinion
Best 2k by far especially the gameplay controls. Dribbling and shooting so simple/seamless.
Nah, I prefer the dribbling being transferred to the right stick. So smooth using that 🔥
They need to bring back that black and grey old school mode
That legends shit was live AF
The soundtrack and game is great!
Thank you everyone talks about 2k 11 but in my opinion 12 was the best
I honestly loved 2k11 so much that i played a 18 year career. Didnt retire until 2k13 came out. I always regret retiring before 20 yrs.
The Player models and Jerseys in nba2k12 is improved!! Which is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I still play 2k12 on my ps3 tbh since I haven't upgraded yet and I like it. I can't help but rage over the movement when it comes to dribbling tho because there was no possible way for you to actually go by your defender in 12 compared to what 2k13 and all the games after that did.
I still rage over it but I like it anyway
Best intro of all time
Its give me chills
A Google User brings back soooo many memories
The main exploit was the spin move into a pump fake then layup. Spin jumper as well. Best cheesy players were LeBron, Drose, Kobe, and Penny Hardaway.
Just a note, the legends showcase was AMAZING!!! I don’t even know if you can still play it or obtain it nowadays but it was amazing back then!
The best game for footwork and post moves till this day....
I can softly hear Zion I- Many stylez while watching this vid
Memories 😭😭
Keep up the good work dom
If the lockout never happened this game would be the GOAT
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.
I thought this was a Deja Vu at first. Lol.
2K12 was the best 2K game, and I own all the games from 2K on the Dreamcast all the way to 2K17 on Xbox One (stopped playing the series after that game after I realize what garbage the series had become).
I think you forgot to mention that there are three different covers for the game: MJ, Magic, & Bird.
I think 2k12 was the greatest
Creating a legend mode was GOAT
Yooo I have this game with disc for PS3 no scratches and the ball looks realistic with a needle on it and now I want to buy 2K11 for PS3 as well in Christmas
They should remaster the game!! At least the Jordan mode!!
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.
I call this game the beginning of the end of good basketball games
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.

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.
This game was really underrated. Just think about it, they took 2K11 For many people is considered the greatest 2K of all time and they built upon it with more modes better graphics, and one could argue a smoother gameplay. This game might be low-key the goat of 2K. Not to mention, the soundtrack is pretty solid as well.
I rode with the Thunder KD was unstoppable with the turnaround jumpshot.
I wish 2k would add retro courts and broadcast view. A basketball court without a 3 point line. Playing games in a black and white filter.
This was my first 2k i really went deep in with association and my player, classic times.
That dlc was absolute fire 🔥
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 not having crew was the biggest problem for me. If it had it I think I would've liked it more than 2k11
It’s still a great 2k
We’re PLAYING BASKETBALLLL! We love that BASKETBALLLLLLLL
I miss create a legend 😔
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.
SO TRUE
I got this game for my birthday, then 2 days later my brother broke the game, and that was the last time I ever played it.
2k13 my favorite 2k
this was my first 2k wow memories
Magic look ashy in that thumnail. I forgot how ashy the game looked
Love watching this again!!!
I had the DLC it was pretty fun, h.o.r.s.e was fun you could shoot your shots off buildings and shit
The spin move with Lebron was SOOOOOO cheesy. Easy buckets every time 😂
Create a legend mode needs to come back. Such a fun, underrated mode
I remember playing my career and creating athletic small forward.Improved dunk and shoot in traffic.Spin dunk was unstoppable,I just could dunk over guys almost every possesion.Still remember those animations and sprite replays
Dude there is some Rookies in nba2k12 Bro!!!
Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard and etc.
One thing that really ticked me off about 2k12 is how OP Derrick Rose was. Granted he did just come off his MVP season, but I kid you not I had an easier time putting the clamps on Lebron James in my career then I did with rose. He never missed lay-ups, always got phantom and1s. It was just super frustrating
2K 12 was the best in my opinion because they did a lot of retro stuff for the Lakers the Chicago bulls the Boston Celtics the New York Knicks and so on...
WeRE plAying BASKETbalL
The DLC with legends made this game the greatest experience in exploring the past and all of its legends. It was the only mode where Stockton actually had shorter shorts than others despite being a Stockton from 94 and not 88, and finally having Stockton look the part while wearing the classic Jazz jerseys of Mardi Gras Nola made it the most authentic classic players and teams ever got. Once I got that mode I abandoned everything else and I haven’t bought another 2k since
Best nba2k HANDS DOWN!
Love ur vids bruuh, keep schoolin us on NBA2K history lol
Game was great idk why people hate on 2k12 definitely underrated Shannon brown was a cheat code
I still play 2k12 whenever I can
11 still best 2k
Not gonna lie this was probably the smoothest 2k I played
I remember that it was so hard to get to the rim. And I like this game bc creating a a legend was in it
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"
One of my favorite things was that you could play music on freestyle mode and that you were able to play both teams.
I am old enough to remember the 1999 and 2011 lockouts
Still got 2k12 :)
Me too bro
I loved playing the game mode called “Creating a Legend.”
frrrr
2k12 on the wii was a struggle 😂
On PS2, it's virtually the same as 2K11, minus Yao Ming (retired) and with 4 Bulls teams, a Celtics and Lakers teams each. The bench after 6th man was filled with randoms, and the layup glitch persisted, even if you turn everything up.
My first 2K.. Memories
the best thing about 2k12 was the Dirk Leg kick fadeaway
2K12 was the first one I ever played and it was that game and Chris Smoove that got me into basketball lmao
I used to play 2k12 and didn't play again until 2k19 I was like wtf happened to the graphics??! They looked so much more realistic now they look to cartoonish..
Went from 8 to 12 to 16 (over the last 3~4 years) - can barely stand to play 16 as they look stupid.
Well i wanna play but it freezes so thats sad...
I'm 18 my first 2k was 12
