Disappointing.

I expected people on here to know better.

Whoa, now. Calm down with that, son. I'd personally take Sir Charles over the Mailman, even if I'm disappointed he's not in the game again.

True, you just may feel he's not there (a-la real life...).

I was watching the 2007 all star game the other day, and during the dunk competition Kenny Smith referred to the dunks as being copied from NBA Live dunk competition...Chuck was mumbling then questioned Kenny having his own video game, he did this in a disapproving tone as if to imply that he doesnt have any interest in video gaming, although he is included as a player in the 90`s legends in 2K6.

I purely speculating but it seems that if Chuck is not in 2k12, it may be more to do with lack of interest than greed...as for Reggie, I think he was just happy to be in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy

.....just sayin

It's free money though. They don't do a damn thing - just sign off and receive a check.

Doesn't make any sense.

Tru dat, but we are talking about guys that already have millions of dollars...I guess even the lure of a virtual ring aint enough to tempt em...SMH

Re: The Curious Case of Charles Barkley, and NBA 2K12

I remember so many years when MJ didn't want to be in any video game and I remember many people said he was an ******* for that. It's funny that in Barkley's case, I read a lot of people actually accusing 2K. I guess Barkley has a reputation to be a better person...smh...

**LM1213** · 08-22-2011, 11:03 PM

Man it's crazy. For years and years people wanted MJ in the game. last year they had him..it was crazy. We never thought MJ would be in a game ever again. on top of that they signed him to a multi-year deal. Now everyone is wondering about barkley. it's like MJ got thrown to the side. People forgot how lucky we are to even have him. much less the others. not dissing anyone, but it seems like no matter what we get, people are never content.

Maybe the reason Barkley doesn't want to be in the game is because there's another Shut Up And Jam! game secretly in the works.

I'm one of the fans who want Barkley, aside from Jordan. It's not that I'm discontented with having only MJ...MJ is my guy but it's always been a dream to play him against Chuck in a 2K game. Man they're two of my all-time biggest idols in the sport. I'm very thankful (and I still am) to Michael for putting himself in a 2K game finally after all those years of absence. What I mean is, it would be awesome to have Barkley too, but why is the latter acting "hard-to-get"? It's only a video game dammit and besides that, it would help young kids to know more about him on how he 'plays' the game as the former superstar. Many young kids of today don't know who Barkley is as a player. 2K can educate these gamers just like how they presented Michael Jordan in 2K11.

Before 2K11, these kids only thought about KOBE or LeBron being the best there is. Now they "know" who the Greatest really is. It would be great if 2K could also do that to Barkley but the thing is...Barkley's being an *** acting like a prima donna, wants a VIP treatment like he's the GOAT. IMO, he just wants to "Be like Mike". Kinda 'put-me-in-the-game-and-pay-me-like-how-much-you-pay-Mike' stuff. It sucks.

This entirely

I understand that we are very lucky to have Michael Jordan in the game...but why would 2ksports have us list the players we wanted included in the game...and at the end of the day we did not get them..barkley and miller left there own stamp nba history
