Pros: Product Came as Described Updated & Improved Graphics Updated Animations New Shot Stick Controls GUI is Sparkly New Player Signature Skills Overall an improvement from the previous title. The graphics are improved and the animations seem smoother. If you have never played NBA2k, and enjoy playing sports games, basketball, or just twitch skill games, this is fun game to pick up. With an ATI 4860 & Steams' version of NBA2k12, the game would lag every 5-30 minutes randomly for a few seconds(on or offline). This hasn't happened once with the new version on the same settings. So bonus on the graphics being improved. It looks better too, but not a vast improvement . Some may argue the Jay-Z package is a pro, but I will actually list most of it as a con. The best part is the sparkly GUI or presentations, though it is in excess. I really enjoy the various stereo style eq graphics which respond to every sound or beat in the game. New shot stick controls seem like "what the hell" I have to learn new shooting controls? But it was rather easy for me to pick up and I was able to maintain my skill level with minor adjustments. It's a step in the right direction for the overall depth it will add to the game. New signature skills are all the rage, I suggest getting every player with 3 or more added to your team(I like the buffs).

Cons: Jay Z Package Shipping Time Shooting Skill Level Halftime Sprite Un-Containable (that's not even a word!) Glitch Jay Z is someone I know very little about, and I don't really like his music, or his ego. The entire game is branded with flashes of "Jay Z this" and Jay Z Music and Jay Z Video Presentations. It's a little too much for even Jay Z fans to handle I would guess. Overall the music selection could have been a little better and a little less Jay Z. Game loses 1 star for Jay Z overkill. Shipping time was horrible compared to previous purchases from Newegg. Usually "Free Shipping" equates to 4 business days or less. This time it was 7 business days. After talking to a Newegg rep, I was informed that when shipping free under 1 pound, the item will go UPS to your local area, and then to USPS for the actual delivery. If I had only known I would have opted for faster delivery. Last year my brother and I noticed that 3 point shooting required more timing to land correctly as well as it seemed overall shooting was slightly more difficult. This year it appears that on on the same "Pro" level, 3 point shooting is back to being as easy as it was (or easier) in years prior to the NBA2K12 release. Personally I think they should have adjusted it less, and it just seems like now at the "Pro" level that I usually play on, shooting is too easy. Whereas last year one could argue it was too hard. I would have preferred something lukewarm. Glitch at Halftime during Association Mode whereas stuff happens to fast, video plays then stops while audio continues, etc. No major glitches, more of an annoyance than a con.

Overall Review: Best Basketball Video Game in the World.

Pros: Got 3 months free with my new Video Card

Cons: Unable to use my 3 months free with my new CPU purchase because it's new users only (even though it doesn't state that any where)

Overall Review: Worthless Incorrectly labeled -

Pros: Tons of features

Cons: Cheap IO Shield

Overall Review: Make sure to check your IO shield on install, mine tried to ruin my day. I don't understand why they have a motherboard with every option, well built, and then they cheap out on the IO shield. How many more cents is it to get the good IO shield that doesn't have metal bits pointing into your HDMI ports.

Overall Review: Not recommended

Pros: Cheap ($20 on sale) Small

Cons: I don't understand how this case got designed and built with an obvious flaw. In order to fit a Standard PSU and Optical Drive, they must be flush back to back in the case which is an impossibility. Either you open the PSU and cut new holes and run the cables out the bottom or forget about having an optical drive.

Overall Review: Based on the design flaw I can not recommend this case to anyone that needs an optical drive. The case itself is pretty decent but considering the flaw, worthless for most customers

Pros: Stable, Reliable, Long Lasting

Cons: None really -

Overall Review: Asus has yet to fail me - I have had several boards, all still running - Oldest is 12 Years + runs everyday like a champ I work for a computer shop and we sell 100's of custom built ASUS computers a year - never have had an issue to date for several years running
