missing player?

The 2007 game is missing at least one player I have noticed: rookie PJ Tucker of the Toronto Raptors.

Anyone forgetting about NBA Action? That series was produced by Sega Sports, and I'm too tired right now to edit the main article to reflect this.

I own the PS2 version of this game, and, contrary to this article, the various shooting styles (such as Marion) and Shot Stick moves, including the Isolated Post Play, are in my version. Therefore, these are not simply next-gen additions, but typical of current-gen (at least PS2) as well.

Weasel Wording

This article has alot of it. Too much of the article is based off opinion instead of fact. It needs to be changed a bit. - SirAndroid 2007 June 21 23:05 EST

Glitches

An editor has added claims there were problems in the game audio/sync. If that's true, could help address some of the above. Ottre 20:40, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The IP 67.216.243.127 has removed the image Image:NBA 2K11 screenshot.jpg‎ four times already saying that the image is unnecessary. I am adding this message here to reach consensus on whether the image is required or not.

- Since none of the other games in the series has an image attached to it, I don't think 2K11 should have one either. It will make the page more stylized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KyotoCarl (talk • contribs) 17:29, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from 68.96.92.137, 28 June 2011

The cover for NBA 2k12 is undecided, so having it as LeBron James in here is incorrect

Done Removed as it is unsourced material Jnorton7558 (talk) 05:40, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit request: I don't know how to properly format this, but someone needs to edit the page because it lists LeBron as being on the cover of NBA 2K12 when the cover athlete has not been announced yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.52.246.163 (talk) 23:26, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Callmeover230, 20 July 2011

For the NBA 2K page, a part should be added under the NBA 2K12 tab that Duck Down Records and 2K Sports hosted a competition for a song placement on the official game soundtrack. After parsing thousands of entries down to 10, by popular vote the producer Alex Kresovich's (Ithaca, NY) instrumental "The Return" and the rap group D.J.I.G. (Glassboro, NJ) were named the winners. The song by D.J.I.G. "Now's My Time" on Alex Kresovich's instrumental will appear on the official soundtrack.

For the NBA 2K12 section, you can also add:

The first official teaser commercial for NBA 2K12 debuted on May 31, 2011 on ABC at the beginning of Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks. The commercial's music came from the 2K Sports/Duck Down Records winning producer Alex Kresovich and his instrumental "The Return".

2K12 needs its own page at this point

They've already released enough information about it for it to warrant its own Wikipedia page. |bibboorton| (talk) 05:39, 25 July 2011 (UTC) 1.252.146.87 (talk) 09:24, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Edit request from QTMagic, 20 August 2011

There is an error on the releases. NBA 2K12 is not being released in 2010 but is being released in 2011.

{{edit semi-protected}} A series of trailers have been released for NBA 2k12. I just want to post the links or tell the reader that there have been releases of trailers. Source 2ksports.com and youtube.com

All requests to edit semi-protected articles must be accompanied by reliable sources - "Youtube" is not a reliable source; please give a specific link to some reputable publication of the claim, and re-request. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  01:03, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

 Not done

Edit request from , 7 October 2011

This paragraph from the History section is incorrect:

NBA 2K12 became the first game in the series to be presented in 3D, although this feature was only available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, and the first to include motion controls using the PlayStation Move.

'NBA 2K12' (in the beginning) should be 'NBA 2K11' since 2K11 does have 3D mode available to activate, as well as PS3 Move controls (it is even listed on the box and both 3D/Move functionality is the warning screens for both functions presented each time you load the game on the PS3.

Thank you.

This paragraph is incorrect and blatantly a lie:

"It is an NBA 2K tradition to award the MVP winner from the previous year with the cover shot for the next game."

3d support has been removed from NBA 2K13. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.193.112.245 (talk) 17:57, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Billy Saputra (SOC 127 Article Critique)

This Wikipedia article on NBA 2K is rather comprehensive. The editors did a good job in chronologically structuring the article so that it is easily accessible to the reader. However, the article lack direct reference to a reliable source. A reliable source of this article could include, but not limited to: the 2K website, video game evaluators, or interview with the creator/designer of the video game. Furthermore, the information comes from a very general source — most likely to be personal knowledge or experience. This could be significantly improved by obtaining information directly from the 2K headquarters in Novato and citing them professionally.Billysaputra (talk) 04:01, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Info under 2K21

If you scroll all the way down to the section on NBA 2K21, it says:"Michael Jordan is the cover athlete for the legend edition on the ninth generation of consoles. Stephen Curry is featured on the splashers edition for both generations, featuring different covers. There is going to be limited versions of NBA 2K21 for Android and iOS platforms. The mobile version will be released on December 25th, 2020." There hasn't been ANY mention of a "splashers edition" that features Curry, nor has there been any mention of Michael Jordan being added as the cover athlete for the legend edition. Is this vandalism or misinformation of some kind? TheKingCartii (talk) 15:28, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

NBA SuperCard

Why is it that "NBA SuperCard" redirects here from the CatDaddy Games article? It may be made by 2K, but it's distinctly it's own mobile game, separate from the NBA 2K series. NBA SuperCard has been out for a little over a year now, and it out to have its own separate entry as an article. 2601:405:4000:1F50:9824:5996:D30C:4B81 (talk) 06:16, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
