Teaser Trailer for NBA 2K12
Earlier this evening 2K Sports dropped the first trailer for NBA 2K12 prior to the start NBA Finals game one. The trailer had already debuted on NBATV but the exposure it got during pre-game on network TV is much more valuable. Similar to what EA Sports had to do with Madden in communicating that the game will be coming out regardless of a lockout 2K Sports is stuck in the same predicament and it would seem this was the start of their strategy - though they went the same route last year with...

Tiger Woods 12 Top Sports Game in April
Having topped the sales charts amongst sports games in four of its first six months of release NBA 2K11 was unseated in April by Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters.

It clearly got a boost from The Masters (April 7th-10th) along with positive word of mouth and mainstream exposure that had been absent the last few years...

NBA 2K11 First Round Playoffs Sim
The first round of the NBA Playoffs begins today and so I've taken NBA 2K11, set up the brackets, and simmed through to produce the predicted results. NBA 2K11 sees all but two series going five games, and the lower seeds that came out on top all seem to be plausible outcomes. The most surprising result however would probably be the Hawks losing game one to the Magic but then running off four straight wins. Continue on for a look at the game-by-game results and the top performers for each fi...

NBA 2K11 Beats All Sports Releases in March
In its sixth month of release NBA 2K11 continued its sales dominance by topping all of the high profile new sports titles that arrived in March. That is a departure from the past few years where the MLB The Show franchise carried the month with relative ease. Last year NBA 2K10 did not even make the top 20 for the month to put it in context. In total there were eight different sports themed titles to release last month and that competition appears to have eaten away at the potential of each ...
