2K Sports just released the all-new NBA 2K12 Momentus Trailer today, featuring some of the best basketball action you can expect from the latest game in the series.
Techtorial: Amazon has updated its warehouse giving away big discounts to used games with prices starting from 22 cents going up.
Twinfinite takes a look at NBA 2K12's ads and what makes them so great. Also, Brian Wilson in short shorts...
2K Sports seems to have pulled the plug on its old online servers. Users playing All-Pro Football 2K8, NHL 2K10, College Hoops 2K8 and the year-old NBA 2K12 multiplayer have noticed a lack of online support across the last three weeks.
... pulling the online MP from a game that's only a year old.
The box says it has an online MP mode, and I'm sure people are still playing 2k12 online (probably many people who aren't enthusiastic about the whole Jay-Z layer they vomitted over the game), so they should keep supporting the online MP mode for years to come.
I agree. 1 year is to short. The other gams I can understand since 08 is almost 5 years ago and as for their NHL title....well EA took them out of that genre with EA's NHL series.
Shutting down the servers is going to reduce their overhead costs so I see why as a business standpoint. I read that 2k won't be doing MLB titles anymore as well so expect MLB 2k12's servers to shut down in the year to come.
It's bad enough that we sports fans buy a new sports game every year with minimal changes other then the rosters....now we have no choice if we want to keep older titles to play online. Things like this will lead to more pirating of sports games. Nobody want to be forced to pay $60 for a game and then have the servers shut down a year later giving you no choice but to buy the next $60 game. People are going to look for other ways around having to pay full price for a new game because their money for the current game didn't stretch out for more then a year.
That is real cheap on the part of 2K sports..I'm sure many people enjoyed playing 2K12 online and it just came out last year...
Why is this not illegal? When are games going to be treated seriously by the law? If this happened with anything else, people would be up in arms wanting blood.
I think the only fair thing to do is that when people buy these games, included in the sticker price is a bond. After the servers shut down, 2K (in this case) have to pay them the bond back, whether it be bank deposit or game credits.
I think next-gen developers are going to be doing this to many more games. It basically forces you to buy the newer one. Why people still buy these games is outstanding. Have they no freaking morals?
Not sure but I think the back of the box says they can disable the online part anytime..
I was going to buy 2k12 this year and play it online haha.
I think one year is absurb. The typical console server shutdown is 2 years, but hey on PC I can run my own server for any game anytime.
Like the new animations
Looks more realistic
awesome trailer, really excited to find about all the new features and improvements they will put in the game
it keeps getting deeper and deeper, this is why 2K needs to have a shot at the NFL, when they got a chance at the NBA, look what happened, they cornered the market and made good games forcing EA out for the time being
Rose should be able to blow past everyone. But in games the defense usaully is able to stay in front somehow? But yeah the game looks awesome!
