Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase DLC Dev Insight Release

No, you will be able to edit the rosters and classic teams. Per the developers blog on FB:

"And finally, don’t forget that with the Legends Showcase, you will open up a new option in the Online portion of the main game called Classic Quick Match. This gives you a chance to play online with all of the NBA’s Greatest teams in a standard simulation setting. This is completely outside of the Times Square, cell-shaded DLC environment and with only these all-time teams to choose from, it will hopefully help maintain an even playing field. Additionally, you’ll also have full roster control over all those NBA’s Greatest teams so you can bring them into Association mode, or edit, trade, and release players, you can do all that too."

I don't think that was what the poster said. He thought you could bring the new players from the DLC into Create a Legend mode, which I don't think you can.

That's exactly what I meant.

I guess I'm buying this then lol. I just want the freedom to use legends however and whenever I want. This lock-out is killing me inside

We know the issue with Barkley and Miller, but when will we hear something about Iverson? I'm pretty sure he's not asking for anything near what Barkley and Miller are wanting (or not wanting).

For some reason, I scrolled through the list of additional legends to get a peak at which version of the newer players were going to be included. It's going to be pretty cool to see players from teams rocking jerseys we've yet to see in 2K to this point ('93 Suns, '94 Nets, '02 Bucks, etc.). I'm going to enjoy that. However, my heart breaks knowing these players and uniforms will not be available in the actual game.

Knowing absolutely nothing about video game art development, I at least hope the hard work they put in on the jerseys for DLC can serve as a great starter for including all those jerseys as retros in 2K13.

Will people from other countries be able to buy the DLC? Having a PSN account and internet connection is it all that it takes?

This is all based on assumption and has been covered in other threads. Iverson left to play oversea's but did not retire. For him to return to the NBA he would also have to rejoin the players union(that doesn't really exist at this point) much like rookies who are not yet official part of the union. Since none of this occurred prior to 2k's release and they won't update rosters until/if there is a NBA season Iverson is in the same boat as the rookies. No chance he's in the game until the lockout ends. He's not retired so he can't be a "legend" and he isn't a current NBA player(wasn't last year either) so 2k did not include him on the default roster. If memory serves me he was on the default roster in 2k11 but was removed in later updates once it became clear that he wouldn't be in the league for the season.

Don't take this as "I don't A.I. in the game" because I do, but I can understand why he's not included at this point.

Now this makes sense. Thanks!

Lol, whats the point. I'll buy it, go online to play someone and it will prob just drop out half way through anyway.

Sorry about that, I misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification.

Time for a little bit of a reach:

While we captured some fancier passes, dribble moves, and dunks to make the Legends stand out and differentiate the gameplay, it’s all still grounded in reality.

I assume they just added more street-like dunks. However, it'd have been pretty awesome if guys like '01 Vince Carter had signature dunks, yeah? Say the elbow dunk or reverse 360 cuff windmill?
