#5 of 2011: NBA 2K12
Following the remarkable NBA 2K11 (which took home top game honors) was never going to be easy and the NBA lockout compounded on that by severely damaging the value of NBA 2K12. Now that the season is underway the product has surged in terms of relevance. Extreme online problems and removal of Crew, bugs afflicting modes like My Player, and poor communication did the damage that even the lockout couldn't enact - but the primary area 2K12 really delivered on was still quite an accomplishme...

Eighth NBA 2K12 Roster Update Available Now; Several New Uniforms Unlocked
The NBA season is now underway and with that comes a brand new roster update for NBA 2K12.

The Quincy Pondexter for Greivis Vasquez trade has not been put through yet. The most disappointing thing is no second rounders...

Seventh NBA 2K12 Roster Update Out Now
Another roster update for NBA 2K12 arrived this morning and delivers Bismack Biyombo, the seventh overall pick from the draft by the Charlotte Bobcats and rated a low 55 overall, thus completing the first round of rookies. Peja Stojakovic has also been removed after announcing his retirement. That is about the extent of the changes as no additional progress has been made on second rounders and the Rockets signing of Samuel Dalembert hasn't become official yet....

NBA 2K12 First Round Rookie Ratings
All the first round rookies have been added to NBA 2K12 through the series of roster updates over the last week with the exception of Bismack Biyombo who just signed with the Bobcats yesterday so he should be in the next one. Jonas Valanciunas, Donatas Motiejunas, and Nikola Mirotic are expected to remain overseas and if so would not be a part of 2K12. The biggest winners in having rookies added are obviously the teams that will have multiple contributors (Cavs, Jazz, Bobcats) but there a...

Chris Paul Traded to the Clippers
After five days of turmoil surrounding Chris Paul - which at one point had him headed to the Lakers only to have the NBA nix the deal - he is officially on the move. Paul will be playing in LA after all but instead it'll be for the Clippers. In exchange the Hornets receive Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu, and the unprotected first round pick of Minnesota's. It's a huge haul for New Orleans considering they had next to no leverage in making a deal for Paul but still got both t...
