Ronnie 2K has confirmed via Twitter that the minimum requirements for NBA 2K12 PC remain the same as last year. For those who need a reminder:
2K Sports have revealed via the official NBA 2K Facebook page that the NBA 2K12 demo will be available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 20th. Ronnie 2K had previously mentioned via Twitter that the demo would be available 7-14 days before the October 4th release. Unfortunately it appears that once again there will be no PC demo.
You can discuss the news here in the NLSC Forum; we’ll also be using that thread for impressions once the demo is released. You can also expect some impressions to be posted here on the main page not too long after the demo comes out next week.
As usual, Friday has brought us another couple of NBA Jam: On Fire Edition screenshots via the official Facebook page. EA Sports continues to spotlight some of the different players in the rosters this year, with this week’s screenshots featuring Al Horford and Chris Kaman.

2K Sports have released another new NBA’s Greatest starting lineups screenshot, this time highlighting Julius Erving’s featured game between the 1985 Sixers and Bucks.
Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below or here in the Forum. 2K have been releasing two NBA’s Greatest screenshots per weekend over the past few weeks, so another one should be coming tomorrow.
After a week of screenshots highlighting some of the additions to My Player mode in NBA 2K12, producer Erick Boenisch has provided us with the fifth Developer Insight which goes into great detail about what we can expect of the mode in terms of new features and improvements to existing ones. Erick explains how you progress through the mode from the Rookie Showcase through to a possible Hall of Fame induction and everything in between, including another rundown of the pre-Draft interviews, mock Draft and the 2011 Draft itself, contract negotiations and paychecks that can be spent on increasing ratings and adding new dunk packages.
Of note, Erick also mentions that NBA 2K12’s My Player will feature “Key Games”, so you won’t have to play each and every game in the season but rather elect to play games that feature key matchups, rival teams or have playoff implications, with stats from simulated games still counting towards the Hall of Fame goals. He also touches upon the expanded endorsements, player abilities, dynamic goals, press conferences, drills, playcalling and the starting rating. Finally, we get a teaser of some Association information as Erick mentions that Adam Silver was brought in to record audio for the second round of the Draft, hinting that he and David Stern will be featured during the Draft in Association as well as My Player. It’s well worth checking out, give it a read and join in the discussion here in the Forum.
Ronnie has also mentioned on Twitter that the next week and a half will be all about gameplay, including a word from Mike Wang.
EA Sports are beginning to unveil more of the players that will be included on each team’s roster in NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, posting two new screenshots on the official Facebook page featuring Chauncey Billups and Nate Robinson.

To further promote all the legends and classic teams in NBA 2K12, 2K Sports have launched the NBA 2K Debate which invites fans to pick one of the teams in the game, create a video explaining why you believe it’s the greatest team of all-time, upload it to YouTube and submit it via the NBA 2K Debate website. 2K themselves tip the debate off with none other than Michael Jordan.
Talk about the video and your pick in the debate in this thread. For anyone creating videos for the debate, feel free to share them as well.
