Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

So do we know in which modes we can use them?

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

I am happy to have classic teams. Don't really care much about playing this game online.

GIVE THE PLAYERS WHAT THEY WANT. we have been waiting forever to lace up with classic teams... why do this 2k? WHY???!!??? put the damn teams in the online mode 2K SPORTS.. ESPECIALLY PRIVATE TEAM-UP !

Haha what's up Romello it's me xMoJox24 from xbox live. I will definitely be back online for 2K12 so we can ball in team up again! And ya 2K really dropped the ball by not letting us use legends online. It's like wtf is the point of just using them offline?

Don't care. Don't play online.

Most disappointing news yet.

Just thought it was a given these teams would be available online since we're essentially playing with last years rosters until the lockout is over. It was a great move by 2K to focus more on the Legends with no labor agreement in sight, but just finding it hard understanding the point if we can't bring those teams online.

I thought it was automatic they'd be in for custom matches, but they should be in ranked play too. You can always back out if you're sick of playing Jordan.

Not a dealbreaker of course, but DAMN I was lookin forward to doin work online with the 94 Rockets and 93 Hornets.

Don't care personally.

As far as any logical reasons why it's not in.. well there aren't any good reasons, maybe conflicts with the filters and the 3-point line for ex. what if the 60's Celtics play the 93 Magic would you use the black&white and would there be a 3-point line. Of course maybe they could have added all these options for you to choose before game but didn't have time.

This makes a bit of sense.

No brainiac...as I said, I play online...so obviously I don't play with Legend teams at all. As it looks will be the case yet again this year, sadly. And thanks for the life lesson on boredom....let me teach you something about reading comprehension: if you don't understand what is being said, don't make assumptions. I said I still passionately play 2K11...do you? I would imagine the difference is people get bored with playing against the CPU after awhile. I know I do...but playing against human opponents keeps the game fresh.

I wasn't looking for an argument friend. i was making a friendly suggestion. To be honest I haven't played 2k11 in a few weeks, but mainly that's because I'm pacing myself for 2k12. I played 2k11 passionately for much of the year though. I would play 1 maybe 2 full games a night. sometimes I wouldn't even get to play as I am in college and have a lot of homework. I played a lot of my player at first until they patched it and fixing cpu trading in association mode. the association was pretty much all I played. There is a lot more to the game than just online play. I understand you like it, but try my player, try association. Those kept me busy well into May. That's oct-may. quite a bit of gameplay. Considering I got SVR 11 for christmas which is another title I spent quite a long time with. But once may rolled around I wanted some newer games so I went and bought Dragon age and Civilization 4 and played those for a while. but would still play 2k11 3 or 4 times a week, up until very recently so yea 2k11 kept my passion year-round. My point is though online isn't everything. you say that's all you play but I suggest try some other modes out. Association is where 2k has always shined and my player looks very promising this year. and if at some point you get bored go get another sports game, I mean 2k11 is amazing but there are other games out there. try MLB the show. I just picked up MLB 10 a few weeks ago and find that game fantastic. I only made the assumption that you play a whole lot of 2k because you said you play 20 games a week. That seems like a whole lot in my book. Like I said before I wasn't looking for a smar*ss response. I was making a friendly suggestion and still hope it remains that way. not looking for an arugment.

Well I imagine the teams will be available in classic head to head on a single console, so I really don't see why it would be any different online.

Thinking, yes. Thinking it thru? No.

Those same problems will exist in an offline matchup of those same two teams. I'm betting all the fancy video filters and special rules will only apply from within the Greatest mode.

Once unlocked, if you take a team from the 60's into an exhibition game I'm betting it looks and plays like a 2010 NBA game, no matter the team's era.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

I think the main problem is a lack of complete rosters for all the legends teams.

And considering the online component is always a unique entity, ever consider you need to implement, test and execute two different online modes to encapsulate all these filters?

You realize that we are talking about twice the work, in addition to the online additions unique to this year?

I'm sure some would think having a classics team free for all online is great now. But again, they're not thinking it through, despite what you claim.

I should add I am not happy with the decision - but time only allows so much. A lot of you forget that.

**scottyp180** · 09-18-2011, 10:31 AM

I don't play online but this doesn't make sense to me, didn't they allow you to use classic teams last year? IMO a lot of the classic teams aren't even over powering compared to teams of today, in fact I think they could make for a lot of good match-ups so I can't see the reasoning being that the classic teams would be unfair. Hopefully 2k will give an explanation this week, if not change their decision.

It's is always funny how everyone not involved in creating a game always have the solutions to a problem, and it's always simple we want it so it shall be. People made their desires clear last year that they wanted to play with classic teams online, after all the fan suggested improvements 2k added this year do people really think they just decided not to have this feature online, the fact is online has never been 2k strong point so why not just assume that they had issues getting that function to work they way they needed it to online, why must it be cut and dry with some people.
