What is the percentage of you playing with classic teams?

[kbmnm247]

I'd play a lot more of the classic teams if they were unlocked from the start (or there was a code) or if you could play the Greatest Mode against another human not computer. Most of the time I play this with some friends so no one wants to watch someone play the comp

I LOVE classic teams. I agree with the few that have mentioned these teams being rated a bit high but they are classic teams of a gone era that should be almost taken into a lore aspect(you know the talk of legends lol)

I posted this because when the lockout was happening I feel that 2k FOCUSED on getting classic teams to play right. we have over 30 classic teams to choose from and probably 4 to 5 really go match ups to play with.

co-sign. Right now I've been struggling to beat the Hornets challenge and I do not recall Mugsy being that deadly from midrange or off the dribble irl. I thought teams routinely sagged off him..can't do that in 2k12. LJ/Gill/Zo=Gods.....

I also gained a newfound respect for MJ in 1993 playing against the Hornets because I can't fathom how he won a championship with these guys. Paxson/BJ/Pippen bricking wide open looks, getting killed on the boards, Cartwright's terrible shooting form, lol.

I do/did love the 90's basketball but I haven't even played a classic game. I'm doing a 30 team controlled association so that takes up all my 2k time I get.

True many of us would rather to not have to unlock them.

I was sort of confused by this poll question. Were you asking what percentage of gamers we think play with classic teams? Or what percentage of our playing time we spend with classics? I use classic teams a lot. I've been really surprised with the drop in the create-a-season community though. This game was tailor-made for some insane classic seasons to be thrown together. However, with some key guys dropping out of the race (largely portlandblazer) it's been tough to fill things out as well as 2K11.

Hopefully, 2K continues to hone this wonderful aspect of their game. The classics triple the replay value of 2K.

The Legends are the only reason i bought the game. Love running with the 97 Lakers, Run TMC, and the 96 bulls

They're fun to play, really brings back memories. Too overpowered though...
