I think it would be cool if the commentators talked about the impostance of the specific game, and referenced actual events that took place that season with the teams involved and around the league in general.

From my understanding, the "Legend" mode was going to differentiate from the Jordan Challenge in that respect. Contrary to MJ, there will not be specific games or moments being re-lived. For instance, technically the Bulls did play the Hornets various times in 1993, but their matchup in 2K12 does not reference a specific matchup.

Technically, they should not have any names on their jerseys (but they do in the trailer)... another unfortunate inaccuracy.
