    Wait... you and Santry away at the same time? Who will advance the league if a week finishes around that game?

    I'm sure they will get someone else to do it.

    I am only away for four days anyway. So won't miss any games. :)

    Bye weeks are awful. Mad for the week to be advanced.

    Even so, if we finish a week while you're away (and we probably will) we'd be waiting for a while for an advance.

    Yeah I know, I meant from the point of view of me missing games. At most I will miss one game.

    I've PM'd Berty so if an advancement has to occur while Raoul is away, Berty said he'll do it. Crisis averted.

    I think I can reach 100 sacks and 50 passing TDs this year with all my CPU games. Either way I won't be playing the Broncos or Bills, and I will be playing the Titans, Bengals and Buccaneers. The thing is I'm going away in August and the league could theoretically drag on for that long but I don't want it to.

    I got a wired one in gamestop for €20 the other day. Both my analogue sticks kept getting stuck, it's mad how much difference a decent controller makes :o

    Do any of you have NBA 2K12 and if so, what's the online gameplay like on it? I found 2K11's online awful, really laggy games all the time.

    Cheers mate. Thinking about picking the game up myself and made a post in the games forum just there to see if there's enough players about for an online franchise, would you have any interest?

    I didn't do that! It's my niece chewing on them. On one I couldn't press the A button a few times and then when it worked and the ball was snapped I realised A wasn't working again and neither was B and on my other controller A and Lb weren't working

    Have 2K12 on the PS3, online play is slick. Awesome game too!
    Didn't have too many issues with 2K11 online, though 2K12 is definitely an improvement. The online options are awesome.
    EA could learn a thing or two about online modes if they were so inclined

    Played 2k12 recently for the first time and I was thinking of picking it up, I'd definitely be up for an online franchise. Although when is 13 out?

    Not 'till October usually mate. The cheapest I've seen it has been around €30 on Ebay. Surprising, as it's usually down to around €20 by this time every year.

    From experience it's best to just fork out for the official Xbox ones. They're expensive, but much better IMO.

    If any of you play NBA2K12 we're going to get an online franchise (with fantasy draft) started over the course of the next week. The more the merrier:

    I'd actually sign up, but honestly with the Madden i play i'd be shot if i took up another thing!

    Though I'll probably buy the new ghost recon game :D

    Game closed, Gamestop is still open. There are limited edition controllers coming out next week that look sweet. They also have the new Dpad which is for fighting games, if anyone plays them.
