I believe you'd be correct. 2K can't necessarily tell these publications what they have to write about, but I do believe they have the ability to tell them what they can't write about. I'm sure there's some sort of non-disclosure agreement made regarding what features can or cannot be mentioned. I know I've read about previews being on hold until a certain date to appease game developers. Either that, or 2K only provides a limited look at the game as a means to save certain reveals for when they feel it's right (such as the My Player reveals this week).

I remain a heavy skeptic in that regard. With 34 classic teams from all different years, listing the wrong year seems like a relatively easy typo to make if one is not a die-hard NBA archivist.

bold: badly wanted

DLC is the WORST thing that happened to industry. I'd rather have less teams but no DLC

I would love to play with the 92 or 93 Knicks, they had the best battles of all of the Knicks teams in the 90's against the 90's Bulls.

the WORST thing that happened to industry is when someone says DLC is the WORST thing that happened to industry.

yea. thats pretty much what I figured. just wanted to state my opinion on that matter. I'm sure this is good news to people who like the shot stick though.

Any word about bounce passes? I still play nba2k7 and love the game to death. After reading last year that bounce passes weren't the best I decided to skip it. NBA2k12 will be a purchase for me without a doubt and I'm sure a big change as I haven't played any other nba2k game since 2k7. Thanks!
