    how do you play the greatest mode ?

    the mode is so much fun and polish that i play it almost religously,12 min, all star,sim
    i lost a lot and only manage to win three of the challenges (larry,MJ,hakeem)
    how do you play it ? this mode is so much fun that i find weird that some people play it in easy level and short quarter time, the game really shines with 12 MIN qtr, plus the mode is really challenging, love it.
    what do you guys think ?

    Am going to do it the same way. I just had a brillant game in the Jordan's greatest. It puts the 2K11 Jordan's challenge games to shame. I'm so impressed at this game. Beautifull.

      I agree with the 1 min quarter thing. I play on 12 minute quarters as well.

      I want to experience it, not just use it as a means to unlock teams. But, if people want to do go the short route, more power to them.

        Arguably the greatest game modes to date for a sports title, I'm gonna try playing it with full 12min quarters. I love how they did the presentation for the game, rather than have the announcers calling the game like they are there, it's more of a nostalgia feel with them taking a look back at classic match-ups. My only complaint about this mode is that while all the choices for great players were good, limiting it at 15 left out so many great players, I would have loved to have seen a match-up between MJ and Reggie Miller.

          I have no words for how much I love this feature. I play 11 min quarters (more realistic stats than 12min imo), HOF Sim.

          I understand that some people want to just cheese through it to unlock the teams, but this is a mode I really want to savor. It's like a bottle of fine, red wine.

              I'm doing 10-minute quarters on All-Star/Sim. Only won one game so far (MJ) but am loving the mode, and the challenge. I want to really earn the classic teams, as with the Lockout, I have little interest in using the current-day teams.

                I did the same for the Dream, I never noticed how quick he was.

                  I played the 1989 Bulls-Pistons and loved it! I'm happy that I was able to unlock these teams because 2K did a terrible job with the accessories of these guys. It looks so much more authentic when players actually look more like themselves. By default it just missing the touch that seperates it from old-school players to highly accurate old-school players. Isiah Thomas is unbelievable in this game. It's so much fun to play with the Bad Boys. The good old MJ is great to watch too.

                  I played the default settings at first (I think 5-min quarters), because it was the first game I played. Now I'm playing 12-min quarters and going to change the settings as I get used to the game more and more every time I play.

                    So far i only won 4 of them (Bill Russel, Pippen, Stockton, Ewing) i did all of them on 12 minute Quarters with the exception of Russel. During the Russel Challenge i was up by 11 with 30 seconds left and the game froze on me. i felt that i legitimately won that game so i did the one minute quarter trick to unlock them.

                      I'm somewhere in the middle. I definitely don't want to waste the moments by playing 1 minute quarters, but at the same time it doesn't appeal to me enough to sit there and play 12 minute quarters for every game. I'm 18 now and I just started getting into basketball religiously about 5 or 6 years ago, so I have no real personal connection to this mode. I've heard of all of these guys of course and I know what they're about, but I never watched their games live or anything, so it's different for me.

                        i m 34 so it clearly appeals to me, i'm sure you will be in heaven when you ll play with kobe and lebron in the legend mode of 2K25.
                        go watch some youtube clips of those guys,because believe me those where the times .... nba basketball was at its best, especially the 80 s and 90 s
