I can't speak of '09 and '10, because I wasn't around then, but I don't consider 2012 a themed game. Sure, you could say it was "basketball themed" but that's not the idea I'm trying to capture when I say themed. "Themed" is something bigger. Its the unprofessionalism and childishness that arises when you make a game about recycling or medieval times. Sure, basketball and soccer are technically "themes", but they're also sports. Recycling is not a sport.
P.S. If were debating whether or not themes make games flop, I'm not sure '09 is the best counterexample.
