    I will say that it is up there. But if they hide a face in there for us they can't get in trouble can they? lol

      Not to speak for him, but I'm guessing he means he doesn't think there will be Magic or Larry challenges. Rather, just the inclusion of a number of new classic teams.

      I'm with you there. But you know the funny thing? I think last year's create-a-player was actually pretty good. Did you see some of the results from portlandblazer (Nick Van Exel, Glen Rice, Latrell Sprewell, Mookie Blaylock)? And do you know what they all had in common? They're bald. And 2K got bald (or just close buzz) right. I think improving the hairstyles included will instantly make created players look ten times more realistic. It's just hard to make certain players look legit when Lego Hair is the closest option for their real life comparison.

          I know this is about Larry & Magic but 2k12 got to have Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller plus if they can get people from way back like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell and instead of just having Bird,Magic,and Jordan challenges they should add historic challenges like NFL 2k5

              What would you rather have; the starting five, complete with sig shots and tendencies or no teams at all?
              i clearly remember seeing a vid where (i believe it was eric boenisch) saying something to the affect of "we got all the players" and i immediately thought of sewing (again) for false advertising. the first time was 2k7 when they said "Experience the deepest create a player feature in gaming today. With powerful new technology, every single aspect of creating a player is now at your fingertips." lol. first of all it wasnt the "deepest" create a player mode and second "every aspect" wasnt available at my fingertips.

              sorry for derailing the thread.

                  I was trying to think of more Magic challenges and I think this could be interesting.

                  In the 1988 playoffs, the Lakers had to play three Game 7s - Utah, Dallas and Detroit. Maybe something where you have to get all of Magic's averages in those 3 Game 7s, and of course win them to move on to the next. Not the entire series, just the Game 7.

                  But I 88 Jazz and 88 Mavs might not be a top priority for the 2K team.

                      Game 6 of the 1980 finals has to be in, but then you need to have Dr J.

                      Where was it mentioned the 90-91 Warriors were in the game? Or am I misreading the thread

                        The 2000 Lakers haven't been confirmed. More or less no teams have been confirmed yet.

                        I was trying to think of more Magic challenges and I think this could be interesting.

                        In the 1988 playoffs, the Lakers had to play three Game 7s - Utah, Dallas and Detroit. Maybe something where you have to get all of Magic's averages in those 3 Game 7s, and of course win them to move on to the next. Not the entire series, just the Game 7.
                        Good idea but, personally, I don't think we will see players specific objectives. I think it's gonna be more like "Replay this finals series" or "Replay this playoffs series".

                          Nothing has been personally confirmed by anyone from 2K in regards to what teams may or may not be included. So far, there's only be one news source, Kotaku, who have mentioned any specific classic teams, available upon pre-order. A quote from their story, and a link to the full article, can be seen below. It has been noted by 2K, however, that it'll be the '02 Kings included, not the '01 Kings. So I guess these two classics have been kind of officially confirmed in the respect that they've been acknowledged by 2K.

                          A pre-order bonus could be a hint at what that might entail. Preorders will receive codes for two classic teams for use in the game, the 1990-1991 Golden State Warriors of Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond, and the 2000-2001 Sacramento Kings of Chris Webber, Vlade Divac and Jason Williams.
