NBA 2K12 is a basketball video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports. It was released on October 4, 2011 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Windows, Wii, and for the first time on iOS iPhone and iPad. For the first time in the series, buyers choose among three retired covers, featuring Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan (who was also the cover of NBA 2K11. It is the thirteenth installment in the NBA 2K series, the first in the series to have "built-in" support of 3D for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, and the first to include motion controls using the PlayStation Move. NBA 2K12 is the successor to video game NBA 2K11, and the predecessor to NBA 2K13 in the NBA 2K series. The game features Kevin Harlan, Clark Kellogg, and Steve Kerr as the commentators. While Kerr is a new addition to the series, his previous experience with the NBA Live series had already familiarized him with gamers and his addition truly adds immersion to the game. Doris Burke returns as the sideline reporter for a second year.

This year's My Player is greatly enhanced with new contract negotiations. When in your 4th season, you manually pick which teams are interested and you get to ask for more money or a player option. Last season, your starting overall was in the high 30's or lower 40's but now your starting overall is in the low 60's. What is also new:

  • My Player inclusion in magazines such as Dime, Sports Illustrated, 2KSneaks
  • My Player inclusion in commercials like the "Where Amazing Happens" commercial. Also, the Shoe Endorsement commercial where it features your Player's shoe.
  • Including many posters featuring one's My Player. For example, cracking the starting line-up with one's My Player grants the "Defend Your Home Court" poster, and another poster when you earn Conference Player of the Month and Most Valuable Player.
  • Receipt of money based on the terms of one's My Player contract after the passage of two weeks in-game time. In-game currency can be spent on My Player Skill and Attribute Upgrades.
