It's NikeID that is the most interesting inclusion as the service is about personally customizing merchandise. NBA 2K12 will allow for sneakers to be semi-custom designed by working off nine that in the game. Colors for the underlay, collar, midsole, bas...

NBA Jam: On Fire Edition Will Be a Test of Customer Loyalty
NBA Jam: On Fire Edition releases tomorrow on PSN and Wednesday on XBLA. It does so however with little fanfare - in stark contrast to the excitement levels generated when a reboot of the series was announced last year. It has been a rollercoaster ride ever since that point which considerably eroded the fan base. The download-only sequel will be vastly overshadowed by the release of NBA 2K12 this week. The challenge it really faces though are consumers who feel jilted by a disappointing $50 ...

NBA Lockout Creates Split in Consumer Interest for NBA 2K12
Early in the week a poll went up with the intention to get a clearer picture of how consumers are viewing NBA 2K12 in light of the league lockout. As release has neared the realization of the impact on the product has started to settle in, as it will not have the typical refresh of rosters or even introduce rookies while well-regarded features such as NBA Today are negated. Despite that the NBA 2K series comes off a remarkable year in which it entered the upper-echelon of sports titles by re...

Now that all the information is out regarding features for NBA 2K12, as well as there being a clear picture of how the league lockout is affecting the product, this made for a proper opportunity to mention the Amazon deal again.

Amazon is offering a $10 promotional credit with all pre-orders which can be put to...

NBA 2K12 User-Created Gameplay Videos
The news on NBA 2K12 started pouring out yesterday - with everything from player ratings to the first information on Association mode and online play. The latter came from those who have obtained copies of the game already which also has led to gameplay videos being posted. To this point 2K Sports has only released one official video - while other glimpses at the game have come from off-screen recorded footage or through the demo. Though most of the videos showing up are not great quality...

First NBA 2K12 Association and Online Details Beginning to Emerge
Since 2K Sports has yet to discuss either Association mode or online play - and NBA 2K12 is set to release in less than a week - it's no surprise that now details are starting to leak out from individuals who have obtained the game early. It's far from the most ideal way to collect information or check out gameplay videos especially since they all seem to be coming from cell phone cameras so far. This is the situation 2K created though by holding off so long (retailers don't even have ful...

Top Rated Players in NBA 2K12
Though having revealed many of the player ratings for NBA 2K12 on Twitter earlier today it made sense to compile the top ones here - all those rated 80 or higher. For others make sure to check the Twitter timeline given that all the teams have been run through there. Overall it seems the median has been lowered this year as many players have dropped - and Dirk Nowitzki sitting at just an 85 overall is prompting the most discussion. 2K12 features one extra player rated 90+ but two less rat...
