Last week I was invited to check out a preview of NBA 2K12, the newest installment of one of my favorite sports video game franchises. Easily my best lunch break ever. This year, NBA 2K12 returns with an updated post-play system, a revamped physics system, and a brand-new “NBA’s Greatest” mode. Check out our first impressions along with screenshots and the game’s trailer after the jump(shot).

Over the years, I’ve come to expect a lot from 2K Sports. Their games are always top-notch, ultra-realistic and super-connected to the actual sports the games emulate. So it was no surprise when I strolled into 2K’s offices this morning to find the most realistic looking video game I’ve ever seen: NBA 2K10.
