Re: NBA 2K12: Legends Announced
I did alot of research last night and if 2K puts any effort into making the rosters RIGHT, then this is upsides for each Legend team in the game.....(and why is everyone geeked about the 92-93 Hornets??? The 94-95 Magic are gonna be unstoppable.)
*86-87
Lakers: Magic at his absolute apex. HOLY ****!
Celtics: basically same as 85-86
*85-86
Celtics: same team from NBA 2K11
Hawks: Dominique at his athletic peak! I pray that he has the shaved head though. Just seemed more like a bad*** then...
*84-85
76ers: Doc, Moses, and Maurice on the decline, but DAMN. And a Rookie Chuckwagon. SWEET!
Bucks: Terry Cummings, Paul Pressy, and Sidney Moncrief at his peak. SWEET!
*71-72
Lakers: Wilt on the decline (but good) , OLD Elgin, and Jerry West on his basketball peak.
Knicks: aging Reed, DeBusschere, Bradley, and Lucas, BUT Clyde Frazier at his apex...SWEET!
*94-95
Knicks and Magic - Oh the two who couldnt be The Dream (get to him in a minute)...
Knicks: same team from NBA 2K11. Would have liked to had '90 Ewing (his apex) but this is good too.
Magic: Young Shaq and Penny...period. (my prediction, the most used "Legend" team on the game)
*90-91
Lakers: same team from NBA 2K11
Blazers: during peak of Drexler, Duckworth and Buck Williams to bang on the boards....Sleeper Team!
*92-93
Bulls: Jordan on back-end of his apex. (THE APEX OF ALL APEXES) Nuff said...
Hornets: Larry Johnson at his peak, rookie Zo, SLEEPER PLAYER: JR Reid
*97-98
Jazz: same team as NBA 2K11
Spurs: rookie Tim Duncan, Aging Admiral (hope they still make him look like a statue)
*95-96
Bulls: same team as NBA 2K11. (some say best team ever...muhh)
Sonics: same team as NBA 2K11. (please fix Kemp, his head isnt that big! And give him a better dunk package!!!!!!)
*70-71
Bucks: aging Big O and Lew Alcindor in second year...SWEET!!!(please have better looking Sky-Hooks!)
Lakers: Jerry West's basketball apex, Wilt basically averaging 20/20
*93-94
Rockets: Hakeem Olajuwon at his basketball apex...thats the only argument i need!
Nuggets: young, athletic team with Mount Mutumbo at his peak.
*64-65
Celtics: Russell and Sam Jones best statistical seasons with a star in the making soon to be named "Hondo"
Lakers: Elgin on the downside of his peak years, and "The Logo" on the upside of his.
*70-71
Lakers: Jerry West's basketball apex, Wilt basically averaging 20/20
Hawks: "The Pistol" as a rookie!!!, sharp-shooting Lou Hudson, and an aging Walt Bellamy
*88-89
Pistons: 6 guys averaged over 13ppg..true definition of TEAM
Bulls: the beginning of Jordan's peak years. (33/8/8..GOOD GAWD)
*97-98
Jazz: hmmm...how many pick-n-rolls can i run....
Lakers: the young Lakers! Shaq-25, Kobe-19, Fisher-23, Eddie Jones-26, Nick Van Excel-26Last edited by crandolph; 08-19-2011, 10:10 AM.Comment

Re: NBA 2K12: Legends Announced
Why is everyone excited about the 92-93 Hornets? Bogues, Gill, Johnson, Mourning and Curry that's why.
My brother was a Charlotte Hornets fan until they changed to New Orleans so this means he can play with the team he used to follow and one of his favourite players Dell Curry. He used to kill me with him in NBA Live 95. I remember he once drained 13 threes with him in one quarter against me lol. It would've been great if I could get some payback against him with the 92-93 Miami Heat.
But honestly all these teams have me excited.Comment

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced
Without Reggie, that's a tough sell. 2K could work around Barkley once they got Dr. J, as they can make Barkley a generic guy and then we can edit him after we get the game.
There's no other "legend" from Indiana for 2K to base a team off of, no matter how good you guys thought Rick Smits was

t's a shame that Reggie Miller is not in the game, this is incredible, Reggie is a legend, the best three-point shooter with Ray Allen, Reggie vs Knicks at Madison?, this is a classic in the NBA, REGGIE MILLER RONNIE¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I do not understand the fans voted for this:
) * Kobe Bryant (14.9 Percent) - (49,740 votes)
2) + Shaquille O'Neal (11.0 Percent) - (36,788 votes)
3) Allen Iverson (9.1 Percent) - (30,244 votes)
4) Wilt Chamberlain (8.5 Percent) - (28,188 votes)
5) Reggie Miller (7.3 Percent) - (24,267 votes)
6) Hakeem Olajuwon (6.7 Percent) - (22,232 votes)
7) Charles Barkley (6.3 Percent) - (21,061 votes)
Bill Russell (5.4 Percent) - (17,916 votes)
9) + Dominique Wilkins (4.0 Percent) - (13,467 votes)
10) Oscar Robertson (3.8 Percent) - (12532 votes)
2K has done what she wanted, Ronnie this is a shame, no Reggie, no Barkley?, Is curious, both work on TNT ...
No Iverson?, AI was one of the best games, Sixers vs Lakers 01?
Does anyone know if Iverson is IN 2K12 as a free agent?
I'm disappointed with 2k.Comment

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced
We keep whining about no Reggie, we keep blaming 2k, but yet we all continue to ignore the post by Da_Czar. Reggie is not a part of the NBAPA, they went to him and could not get him in. Enough with the Miller, Iverson, and Barkley whining.Comment

Re: NBA 2K12: Legends Announced
I simply don't understand how Dallas can win the NBA Title yet 2K ignores their history
The Mavs had some great teams back in the 80's and their 1988 squad had heavy lifters Mark Aguirre, Ro Blackmon, D.Harp, Sam Perkins, Roy Tarpley, Brad Davis and James Donaldson that took the Lakers to 7 games in that classic WCf's
I mean some of these teams listed are recycled teams and players year after year
The Mavs have produced 4 WCF's teams and 2 NBA Finals teams in their history yet the Kings get more respect.................

Everyone talking about the absence of the Barkley's Suns and Miller's Pacers, but how about those mid-90's Heats with Mourning, Hardaway, Mashburn, Majerle, and P.J, Brown. Those Knicks/Heats playoffs were heated with the numerous fights. 97-98 Heats vs. Knicks (with Ewing, Houston, Sprewell, and L.J.)Comment

It's funny that 2k can't get Barkley and Miller but weren't those guys on those 90's legends team in past NBA 2K games.Comment

Re: NBA 2K12: Legends Announced
Just a small thing, and obviously the lineups are editable anyway, but by default I'm betting David Wingate (or Johnny Newman) will start at small forward and Kendall Gill will be at the two. Dell Curry was always coming off the bench for those teams, like clockwork.
Both of those squads make me a little nostalgic. One of my teams, the Pistons, were struggling in '93. My other team, the Spurs, for as good as they may have been, were basically ignored through most of the country (or so it seemed).
One of the benefits of the internet and other technological advances is that any person can pretty much buy merchandise from any team in the world nowadays. As a Spurs fan living in Michigan back in the early 90's though, it was virtually impossible to find Spurs merch. You know how sporting goods stores rolled back then? They took the five most popular teams and stocked all their goods and that was about it. At that point in time, that meant Bulls, Hornets and Magic jackets and hats were everywhere. I was buying Magic and Hornets garb just because it was the only NBA stuff I could find sometimes. How else can I explain the giant Magic trash can I had and the Tasmanian Devil Hornets cap my 5th grade girlfriend gave me for my birthday?
LJ, Zo, Shaq and Penny were running the universe in the early-mid 90's.Last edited by VDusen04; 08-19-2011, 11:12 AM.Comment

Re: NBA 2K12: Legends Announced
I feel ya, PM. I would've been cool with seeing the 1987-88 Lakers vs. Mavericks, in a rematch of their 7-game Western Conference Finals series. Of course, I could come up with hundreds of other "dream" matchups that I would loved to have seen included in the game.I simply don't understand how Dallas can win the NBA Title yet 2K ignores their history
The Mavs had some great teams back in the 80's and their 1988 squad had heavy lifters Mark Aguirre, Ro Blackmon, D.Harp, Sam Perkins, Roy Tarpley, Brad Davis and James Donaldson that took the Lakers to 7 games in that classic WCf's

Re: NBA 2K12: Legends Announced
Same here. Actually, I understand the '87 Celtics-Lakers matchup and believe that should be the matchup. However, wouldn't it be an awesome plan to offer the '87 Mavericks as DLC, as an alternative matchup for '87 Magic? I mean, it's an unlikely scenario, but it would have fit well, yeah?Comment
