In speaking to Gamesradar, Eric Boenisch mentions the possibility of something arriving on Christmas Day, for NBA 2K12. What do you think it might be?

“Dedicated” is the operative word here. While most of us will be kicking back with family and friends, a healthy portion of the NBA 2K12 development team will be hard at work on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, Mr. Boenisch wouldn’t give up the goods about any special surprises for the legions of fans who’ll boot up the game that day.
“We have some things cooking,” he says coyly. “But you’ll just have to wait to see for yourself! We’ll be enjoying Christmas, but if NBA basketball is being played then we’re working.”
is already in hte game hehe lol , starting christmas the real nba game schedules will be in 2k12
Ronnie has already said this is not possible. He didn't say it isn't possible because it would be a lot of work, he said it is actually impossible to put in the game. It's probably putting NBA Today in so it's working properly and special effects, shoes, courts, logos...
You could be wrong DeceptiveBlaze. Any post-retail shoes I've got in-game have actually been downloaded from the servers silently/automatically. Us PC users can check each file that's got downloaded, and for one I have about 8 or 9 shoes that weren't in the disk.
Chances are it's simply updated rosters including all 2nd rounders. I think that makes the most sense. Christmas day is opening day and when all teams finalize their rosters. Since 2K hasn't been putting in 2nd rounders at all, presumably because the fates of many 2nd rounders are currently uncertain, they've got quite a bit of work to do to get them all in along with accurate trades and active lists by the end of opening day. Even nicer if some of this work involved getting in photos for the rookies. I think that's much more likely than another DLC right after they've released one that took months of development resources on.
Second rounders, rookie with tattoos or they'll do legendary teams pack like 2001 Sixers, 2001 Raptors, 1967 Sixers, 2004 Pistons etc. That would be awesome
That would be nuts.....I'd pay for that team alone !
2K is definitely tweaking the gameplay and I like it. I don't know if anybody noticed but now you can get on ball steals by reaching. Now I know for certain immediately after the patch this wasn't occuring but as of last night you can actually reach and steal. They also tweaked how the CPU plays on-ball defense a little more realistic as you can actually get by a defender.
He is saying for NBA Today and making a joke. They already said that the 66 game schedule would not be in the game as in Association. So you can play the games in NBA Today as they would happen but there will not be a 66 game schedule unless 2K has done something and this is in the Xmas cookbook.
Some of you guys have wild imaginations, lol. It will probably something simple and free for everyone.
It's getting to the point where it's oddly amusing to see the extremists knowingly raise their expectations too high so they have plenty of room to bash on the way down. Still, 2K should know by now to more carefully word their releases to set expectations low
