Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

Yeah I know Charles Barkley aint in this Sixers team




I'd be amped if it reads Michael Jordan: 92-93 Bulls vs Suns SMH


...And Charles Barkley aint in this 2K game AGAIN. Confirmed. Thanks. I'll pass 2K12.

Waiting for the stupid Barkley in 2K13...

Barkley is in the game.

Rookie year of the Sixers, I believe, with Dr. J.

He many be on the team, but they will probably replace him with a generic player.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

wtf? Once again Reggie gets snubbed

I'm sure they wanted him in the game. But it all comes down to $.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

This is awesome news! It's a shame that Barkley and Miller aren't in but I can't complain, that's a very impressive list of teams and players. I plan on adding these classic teams to Association.

I can't wait to play with the 92-93 Hornets.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

No idea if Chuck'll be on that '85 PHI team, but I have a sinking feeling he won't be. But it will (or should) have Moses, Mo Cheeks, Bobby Jones, and Andrew Toney. Good stuff there.

If we're talking about omissions, since they're going as far back as Russell/Wilt/West, I'd like to have seen the '77 Blazers squad featuring Walton and Big Luke. Would've been something seeing the Redhead whip those outlet passes to start the fast breaks (well...assuming the fast breaks are fixed this year ) and Luke beasting on D/the boards.

Even so, this is a good variety of players, teams and eras. I was on the fence about this year, but now it's looking like a cop, maybe even a 1st-day.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

The greedy part of me is hoping some key retro jerseys were added that'd at least open up more retro opportunities in terms of creating our own classic squads. Of course, if none of the retros have changed (80's Sonics uni's or '93 Suns jerseys) I'm still blown away and crazy impressed and satisfied and all of that. I'm just saying, in lieu of a lack of Chuck, offering that era's jerseys would be a great workaround.

Regardless of any players who may have been left out for whatever reasons, the fact that 2K went and dropped at least 50 legends (along with their supporting casts) is one of the craziest moves in sports game history.

Adding to your point on retros, I wonder if all the Jordans from 2K11 will be in 2K12?

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

I can't believe no one said Young Shaq vs. Dwight Howard yet. I'm gonna destroy Dwight, lol

What about 98 Lakers Shaq in his Prime vs Wilt.....

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

Dikembe Mutumbo!!!! I just hope he does the wag

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

Dikembe Mutumbo!!!! I just hope he does the wag

You and me both. It wouldn't be Mutumbo if he didn't. I would lose it if Jordan does the wag when he dunks on Mutumbo haha. That may be pushing it little too far.

[boodahisthe1]

Reggie and Chuck just don't want to do it. Which pretty much sucks..

I cant believe reggie and chuck didnt want to participate..1st of all, thats easy money for them..but it shouldnt be about the money..it should be about their fans that would love to see them on these next gen video games..they r being a**holes..all that damn arrogance and no rings..smh..

[Galarius]

if there are that many classic teams this is gonna be a Flounder 'boy, this is great" year for me

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller may not have agreed to be a part of the game, but aren't the other 50 legends included by 2K a pretty decent consolation prize? I am beginning to wonder if others have noticed that in lieu of Chuck and Reg, there will be a near bottomless pit of legends (and currents) to make use of.

[williskb24]

mann i cant wait to use 97-98 lakers with nick the quick ,eddie jones, horry, foxx, and shaq and kobe its going to be too bad ***!!!
