    It seems like they're really stressing our involvement, but is this only for the sake of drawing attention to themselves like they did with the Twitter 2K Cover scenario? Are the 15 greatest already set, with our votes hinting at downloadable content? I can't tell how seriously I'm supposed to take the Facebook voting. If it's only for the sake of hype, I would not care.
    Great minds think alike.

      I literally laughed out loud at this.
      According to my old marketing professor, satisfaction is when product performance meets or exceeds consumer expectation.

            Pretty sure KG is just wearing a knee sleeve. If you look closely, you can faintly see his skin below it. The shadowing is giving it the full leg sleeve look.

              Sounded like they said there will be 12 insights taking place between now and release on either Monday, Wednesday, or Friday of each week. As there's only about eight weeks until release, that'd surely seem to insinuate multiple insights a week in some cases.

                In the insight they said AT LEAST one per week releasing on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Next week there is only 1 and its on friday.

                  You could be right, but another thing I noticed is Jermaine O'neal's knee brace.

                    That skin looks like it might be Rondos arm.

                      And just to give you guys an exclusive heads up: The complete roster for NBA’s Greatest and a greater breakdown on the mode will be revealed next Friday, August 19th. My main man Erick Boenisch, or as you know him SimBaller, will be dropping a Developer Insight on the subject. But the news won’t stop there, as we’ll be releasing new Developer Insights at least once a week (Monday, Wednesday, and/or Friday… at least a dozen total) and news constantly over the next eight weeks leading up to launch. As always, you can expect Insights about Gameplay, My Player, and Online along with other unannounced features. I hope you’re as excited for October 4 as I am. As I said, it’s my favorite time of year.

                      You know where to find me,

Other than that, it's nice to see that we finally get the Addidas sleeves, as someone already mentioned. I also noticed a new knee pad/brace on Jermaine O'Neal and a longer knee sleeve on Hedo.
                          and his "HISTORY" tattoo on his left leg as well

                            Geez, look at all those votes for Shaq. I am a 40 year Laker fan, and Shaq was the most boring player to watch EVER! After watching Wilt and Kareem, Shaq had no game other than "Thow de ball to me and I will dunk it". Wilt and Kareem had some finesse to their game even though they towered over the competetion. Wilt was MUCH bigger than everyone in the '60s and he still had a beautiful finger roll and Kareem had the skyhook.

                              If that happens, we can expect a young Kobe/Shaq.
                              But since they excluded Kobe from the voting, it's a toss up to me.


                              You'll only be able to play with him in games and not practice mode though.
                              Kobe's excluded from voting only because he will already be in the game. They wanted the list to be be of players that are no longer in the league. They don't necessarily mean a young Kobe won't be in the game.

                                I am intrigued with the possibility of a "classic" Shaq signature package. If a prime O'Neal had some special 2K12-level attention paid to him, I think it could be a fun experience for the gamer. Maybe I'm dreaming, but the ability to overpower defenders and drop the hammer would be pretty darn satisfying. In 2K11, even an edited O'Neal (to better mirror his prime ability) still did not really have the animation or signature arsenal to dominate in the fashion that he did.

                                <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GofeqRfHAS4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

                                Also, I'd fully support the ability to use the mid-90's Magic squads.

                                And you know my ultimate Classic 2K dream? Note this is not an expectation, rather just as I said, it's a dream, but how awesome would it be to have a classic 90's O'Neal or a Darryl Dawkins (or even Chris Morris) who would have the ability to break or shatter a backboard?
