Not to speak for him, but I'm guessing he means he doesn't think there will be Magic or Larry challenges. Rather, just the inclusion of a number of new classic teams.

I'm with you there. But you know the funny thing? I think last year's create-a-player was actually pretty good. Did you see some of the results from portlandblazer (Nick Van Exel, Glen Rice, Latrell Sprewell, Mookie Blaylock)? And do you know what they all had in common? They're bald. And 2K got bald (or just close buzz) right. I think improving the hairstyles included will instantly make created players look ten times more realistic. It's just hard to make certain players look legit when Lego Hair is the closest option for their real life comparison.

Great choice! That was a good game.

I know this is about Larry & Magic but 2k12 got to have Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller plus if they can get people from way back like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell and instead of just having Bird,Magic,and Jordan challenges they should add historic challenges like NFL 2k5

We will be able to use magic, bird or jordan in create a legend mode

i clearly remember seeing a vid where (i believe it was eric boenisch) saying something to the affect of "we got all the players" and i immediately thought of sewing (again) for false advertising. the first time was 2k7 when they said "Experience the deepest create a player feature in gaming today. With powerful new technology, every single aspect of creating a player is now at your fingertips." lol. first of all it wasnt the "deepest" create a player mode and second "every aspect" wasnt available at my fingertips.

sorry for derailing the thread.

Speak for yourself my friend.

Run TMC, meh, I want my Peterson fix.

I was trying to think of more Magic challenges and I think this could be interesting.

In the 1988 playoffs, the Lakers had to play three Game 7s - Utah, Dallas and Detroit. Maybe something where you have to get all of Magic's averages in those 3 Game 7s, and of course win them to move on to the next. Not the entire series, just the Game 7.

But I 88 Jazz and 88 Mavs might not be a top priority for the 2K team.
