NBA 2K12 Legendary Teams Will Be Playable Online, Via DLC

[cavsfan2]

I dont mind DLC. What bothers me is 2k making me pay extra for something that could have been on the game disc at launch. If you add something in february, fine. But dont make me pay more for no reason.

If theres no way to have a simple classic team exhibition match equaling the offline experience (a regular game featuring the Pistons v the Bulls for example) then there's no way in hell I'd pay for this. 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 in a streetball type game? No thanks.

Baffles the mind if what I'm assuming is true.

You can use classic teams online in a regular game matchup, according to the screenshot on the first page.

Is this basically going to work like this:

If you buy the DLC, you get matched up with other people that have bought it.

Or is it a completely separate game mode so you can ONLY choose the classic teams?

It just says "play online", which doesn't necessarily mean proper 5 on 5. It could be just limited to the Showcase game modes, which would be insane if true. No one wants that, they want 5 on 5 classic basketball.

Thats all Im getting at. We'll see...

DLC are conceptualized and developed after the game is produced ? ... as much as we would like, things dont work that noble way, they never have btw ... all DLC are worked on within the budget and development calendar of games ... the main purpose of them is to expand the original game value of those whom find it worthy, then again, at a cost.

So, is as simple as a matter of choice: do you find it worthy of (whatever amount, put price here) paying for that extra added value ?

Agreed, we all would prefer not to pay ... but if they ask for a pay in order to have a DLC, they would just be going by the modern standars and would be ultimatelly giving us more of what they have been giving us: "user control" ... as we and only we, are the ones who decide (control) to buy it or not.

Again, doing so will help 2k get in a better financial position (which is a wise business route to take) and that, given their proven record of listening to the community and going all in on the 1 year cycles, can only translate into our benefit.

I sincerely hope classic teams are available as options in regular teamplay without DLC.
