NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

[scottyp180]

I don't play online but this doesn't make sense to me, didn't they allow you to use classic teams last year? IMO a lot of the classic teams aren't even over powering compared to teams of today, in fact I think they could make for a lot of good match-ups so I can't see the reasoning being that the classic teams would be unfair. Hopefully 2k will give an explanation this week, if not change their decision.

But again, they're not thinking it through, despite what you claim. I should add I am not happy with the decision - but time only allows so much. A lot of you forget that.

It's is always funny how everyone not involved in creating a game always have the solutions to a problem, and it's always simple we want it so it shall be. People made their desires clear last year that they wanted to play with classic teams online, after all the fan suggested improvements 2k added this year do people really think they just decided not to have this feature online, the fact is online has never been 2k strong point so why not just assume that they had issues getting that function to work they way they needed it to online, why must it be cut and dry with some people.

not a big problem for me... but a major letdown for who's really interested in legends

It is true that online has not been 2K's forte, and making these teams available online may add to the problem instead of making it better.

I'm sure the 2K team had this in mind, but the technical fallibility of actually implementing it may have be the main reason of the classic teams being dropped for online.

Oh come on with all this techincal problems BS. Truth is noone knows why they didn't include them (I'm still waiting for an official confirmation by 2k).

And it's really not difficult to include more teams in the custom game team selection, one doesn't have to be a tech wiz to understand that. No need for extended testing periods.

Fifa for example expands the number of teams available each year and it has never been a problem to implement them online and we are talking about 200 teams here not 34.

Ditto, deal-breaker for me.

SO tell us o great one why it is not in included and how 2k can fix the issues that you know nothing about.
