NBA 2K12 GOTY hitting Best Buy March 11

@Triton...Sports games go by Season's End...2k12 was released in 2011 because the season started in 2011...and ends in 2012.

Game of the year.... do they realize we are only in the 2nd month out of 12. What the heck, if your gonna go big why not just call it Game of the Decade?

It probably won game of the year for sports games. Plus, there are so many different sites and magazines that have those awards, numerous games can claim "game of the year".

Kinda early to be talking about Game of the Year, isn't it?

What decides Game of the Year Editions? I thought Skyrim won a bunch of them where did this game win any? I'm sure it is a good game though.

Now I'm torn.... I planned on getting the new MLB 2K game because one of the versions comes with NBA 2K12 for only an additional $10. I don't even like baseball that much, but the deal was looking too good to pass up. Then again, it is Best Buy. I'll probably go to pick up this GOTY version of 2K12 and they'll tell me that they're out, "but here are some other games you might be interested in".

It's a great game, but what outlets gave it Game of the Year? I'm sure it won a few for Sports Game of the Year, but typically, you need to win a bunch in order to tout a GOTY Edition.

Is the poster really Jordan, Bird and Magic? Or is it NBA 2k12 versions of them? If its really those three posed together, that's worth half the price right there. Much love Bird, you were my childhood hero.

I have been hunting on ebay for weeks now for a low price of this game... maybe ill just spring when this comes out

@kaBoOm Is he on the recent roster update? anyway, 2K12 online structure is even worse this year. Why they deleted My Player Pick Up game and Crew mode is beyond me. Matchmaking system is horrible too.

Who gave this Game of the Year? Sports Game of the Year perhaps...
