#19: NBA 2K12 (multiplatform - 2012)

NBA 2K12 makes our list simply because of how great it already looks four months out. When a game runs unopposed to any competition we usually see a trail-off, but with 2K12 the team is still hard at work addressing some of the comments and concerns with last year's title. Already running at a silky smooth 60 frames per second, 2K12 shows off better player animation flow, a new free-throw mechanic, and dynamic audiences and pregame montages. Presentation is still king here, as we even saw a lower-third promo in-game for the NBA Finals currently taking place!
