Players and teams under CPU control will key on offensive stars, and vice-versa, run plays and feed their go-to guys.
It feels as though you have more control of your player than in any year with the exception of 2K10, when this same quality was present. No, it is actually a great thing.Īnother criticism of past versions was that the dribble and shot animations tended to feel like you put your player on auto-pilot-meaning one stick movement leads to three animations. For those new to my sports video game reviews, that is when, at a glance, you can mistake this game for a real life game.ĢK12 does less for you than any other version, and that is a good thing. The game runs at a beautiful and steady frame rate and is marvelous to see. Ed Pinckney and Bob McAdoo are rendered just as accurately as the head men. The coaching staffs have received a face-lift, assistant coaches included. In fact, there are even more eye-popping animations full of true baller beautifulness. The animation has always been top notch in the NBA 2K series and this year is no different as well. If previous versions of 2K had any drawbacks, that was one of them, and it is certainly not the case this year. From Derrick Rose to Gary Forbes, 2K brought their A+ game in capturing player likeness.
