NBA 2K12 Legendary Teams Will Be Playable Online, Via DLC

Well at least we can use them online. I hate this though, it makes the entire thing so unbelievably tacky!

How so?

Would you rather see Kevin Durant travel in a spaceship back to the 1980's so we can see him in technicolor television against the showtime Lakers?

Would you wanna see Kobe Bryant black and white against Bill Russell?

Alright, so, being a graphic designer, the way the bullets in the text are spaced it would seem that "Greatest stars in NBA history compete in: 2v2... ...you pick the match-ups and rules" is separate and different from "Play online with the Legendary Teams from NBA's Greatest".

However, it does say its set in Times Square, but maybe you play 5on5 there.

And it says "Press A to Download", not Press A to buy, hope it's free.

That was my reasoning as well on both issues. Just hope that maybe we can get the teams to play in an arena.

There hasn't been any announcement about what that mode is or how to get it.

People need to settle down until there are actual facts.

I've never seen it said anywhere that you could use them online in a regular exhibition game.

Frankly I don't understand the point of wanting to do that anyway.. talk about casual.

You lost me there buddy, lol. Guess we can determine just how shrewd this decision is when we get the specifics.

Man it better be a free add on.... I'm not spending another 10 or so bucks on this game.....

The wording seems kind of open for interpretation but from the looks of the pic sounds like you will can choose to play with legendary players 2 on 2, 3 on 3, or horse,

and then as the whole legendary teams too. Why would they list all these options seperately.

The way I interpret it is its divided into two parts the first part being legends and the bullet points under this are the 2 vs 2 etc etc

and the 2nd part is legendary teams. I assuming it will be "streetball" and non sim since you are playing in times square.

I wonder how this will work tho since it looks like it may be possible DLC? Will we have to unlock all the teams first in order to use them in legends showcase mode? or will we have them in that mode already?

I think your missing the point. I don't want to be forced to play with the Legends in a streetball atmosphere in Times Square. I want to play a simulation basketball game in a real arena and on a real hardwood court. These legend teams should have been available form the get go, for all online modes.

After reading the screenshot over and over to me the, "Play online with the legendary team from NBA's Greastest" point is saying we can play 5v5 but it is set in times square. I really hope thats not the case and we can play with them in an arena setting.

Next we are going to have posters saying 2k gave us what we asked for and we are still not satisfied
