exactly what is was thinking. Its not like they are bringing in something totally new to put online. There has to be more to it. And i think 2k knows we want legends online so they know the balance/fairness issue would not sit well

HMMM maybe. I wonder if there will be a virgingaming.com tournament again this year. I think 2k sponsored it last year. So maybe they didnt want some players who have unlocked the teams to be able to use them while others couldnt. Speculation on my end also but i dont think this is the case.

On second thought, there would be an easy fix to this. Make a separate lobby where you can choose all teams that is separate from the virgin gaming lobby, so yea this definitely does is not the case

Let's just hope this isn't leading up to an online legends pass dlc lol.

I'm not gonna lie...I wouldn't be happy about it but I'd buy it in a second.

Are we still awaiting their "method to the madness"?

Same here, guess we'll get our explanation tomorrow?

This is extremely disappointing. What's the point of getting the pre-order teams then? You can only use them locally.

I am not really an online gamer but I have played against my brother and a friend of mine online and few relatives too. I absolutely hated playing as current teams only on 2k11 since I am not a big fan of today's NBA. I was looking forward to finally being able to use classic teams online since my brother hardly comes over, and the other family members I have played with live in Mexico, and my other friend lives too far. Playing the computer only gets boring, win or lose. not sure why 2k is now having this greatest team ever debate commercial if classic teams cannot be played online.

I'm thinking that 2k will save this feature for future installments and try to use that as a selling point and by then who knows, maybe Barkley and Miller would have also agreed to be in the game.

They need to save things for next year and the year after that and so on. Whatever I'm sure they will explain their logic, which may or may not go well with those of us whom are disappointed with the exclusion of classic teams online.
