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

How do you know it's pure streetball?

How do you know you can't still set a simulation setting on a court with fouls, shots and yadda yadda yadda?

Just because they're playing on a blacktop doesn't 100% mean it's gonna be a pure Street game. Yes, there are Street games INCLUDED in there (2v2, 3v3, Horse) but it also says you can use the teams in a separate bullet, so maybe that means you can play a real game on the court, as well.

At this point, all we have is a few photos from a cell phone. So none of us know.

Of course we DON'T KNOW 100%! All I'm saying is that I am not counting on 2K delivering the legends appropriately for the 'Sim Gamer'. I think that we will be able to use the legends 5 v. 5, but on the streetball court. I don't want that, that in my opinion just seems dingy and cheap. If 2K hasn't changed thier 'street' format, it will be just like it's inception of the mode back in the early days, and the same as it's ever been. Enhanced sliders, with an unrealistic feel to the game play.
