NBA 2K12 Impressions: My Player
2K Sports has spent a great deal of effort hyping up the improvements to My Player mode for NBA 2K12.

NBA 2K12 Hard Drive Loading Evaluation
With NBA 2K12 in hand the first thing to check on as always was loading times when playing from the disc up against those when installed to the Xbox 360 hard drive. 2K12 represents the largest install I've ever come across and possible to date on the 360 - it utilizes the new discs that have additional storage space and comes in at a massive 7.9 GB.
