Graphics
NBA 2K11 delivered some amazing graphics experiences towards consoles, and handhelds. The game really fulfilled an amazing graphic experience. With 2k12 it was hard to live up to the amazing design system from its predecessor, but without a doubt, NBA 2k12 delivers some amazing graphics in general, with tons of various colors, designs, and structure. NBA 2k12 really delivers a great camera like, structure system that fulfills amazing movements, structures, and in general, overall feel of the graphic and design system. The players are uniquely designed, with their own facial structure, nothing cheesy you would see in a low budget basketball game. The court structure is nearly perfectly designed, besides some of the cartoonish crowd animations, and the overall graphics system is nearly flawless.

Gameplay
Another great predecessor, 2k11 was very hard to beat, and live up to the up and rising 2k series that was really revolutionizing the sports genre gaming system, with tons of various game modes to choose from. 2k12, without a doubt delivers some amazing gameplay experience overall, with amazing variety of gameplay, and structure of gameplay overall. The "NBA's greatest" Mode is quite amazing, with some of the most amazing players of all time, redesigned, and relived by the tips of your fingers. Creating a legend mode now varies, not just from MJ, but from basically any player on the market; live up to their maximum potential, and fulfill their legend. Myplayer mode delivers amazing variety, and fun overall, with amazing structure. The gameplay in this game overall, scores a perfect 10.

Controls
The controls in NBA 2k12 have, as always quite a confusing aspect when you first step foot into the game. One of the major objectives to achieve as a game developer in a genre such as this, is to deliver a new experience, while delivering some easiness into the game, while players recognize the controls, and NBA 2k12 delivers this amazing perfection of that aspect. Although the recognization is easy, customization of controls really lacks to an extent in this game, not delivering anything brand new, or amazing. The controls overall though, have a very easy, efficient feel, with tons of good aspects to it.

Reception
