NBA 2k does it a million times better by putting in the ACTUAL classic teams.

I love how after a big hit or nice deke the commentators say "we'll all be watching that on the NHL network this week" then in the replay cutscene seconds later it'll just show some random hit. The hitting physics are screwed up NHL 12 EASHL Huge Hit - YouTubeNHL 12: Bouchard with a Huge Open Ice Hit on Vermette - YouTube Presentation is still complete garbage. Same lines. Same cutscenes you'll never want to watch. Same crappy replays that don't even show the play developing.

NBA 2k games shit all over EA's garbage. Too bad they can't make a good 2k hockey game.

Edit: seriously, just compare NBA 2k12's "be a player" mode compared to NHL https://www.facebook.com/note.php?no...50285386202267

There's nothing to talk about in gameplay because it's nearly the exact same game (which I have no problem with). But NHL 12's "gameplay tweaks" themselves are not worth another $60. They already have the core gameplay down so they should be adding depth to the modes. Be A GM Mode is still stupid as hell and is literally untouched. Instead of improving things that need improving (LIKE PRESENTATION/DEPTH) they add stupid gimmicks like checking people through glass (does that even happen in real life anymore?). Winter Classic was a waste of time adding. Who's ever going to play this after trying it once?
NBA2k11 was fantastic. WE FUCKING GET IT
thats a basketball game in which I love

NHL12 is a HOCKEY GAME...

ur comparing apples and oranges

NHL12 yes, albeit not a HUGE upgrade, but I'm playing the early release and I can already tell u that the new AI engine is a huge improvement over the stale plays. The skating is smoother, and the hitting a bit more realistic, no longer can St.Louis dish out huge hits. The battling in front of the net is a neat addition adding to the overall realism to the sport of hockey. You should think of these sports games as an added fun to the actual sport. Modes like the winterclassic only add to the experience of the game.

For one, when HockeyUltimateTeam was thrown into NHL11, I was happy. I can't wait to give the NHL12 HUT a go. Be A GM is better this time around. I have yet to try this mode.

Why else do people say that the replay value in the NHL series is so great?

The NBA2K series is fanfuckingtastic in its own godly ways. I would also like to say again, your comparing apples and oranges. U can also say that all games wil reach it's peak, before something new comes along. I would really like to hear ur comparison between NBA2k11 and NBA2k12 when the final product comes out.

why do u bother coming on here and rant, then give us a stupid argument.

As for players being put through glass. its very possible still.
