NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

[Marino]

We keep whining about no Reggie, we keep blaming 2k, but yet we all continue to ignore the post by Da_Czar. Reggie is not a part of the NBAPA, they went to him and could not get him in. Enough with the Miller, Iverson, and Barkley whining.

I simply don't understand how Dallas can win the NBA Title yet 2K ignores their history

The Mavs had some great teams back in the 80's and their 1988 squad had heavy lifters Mark Aguirre, Ro Blackmon, D.Harp, Sam Perkins, Roy Tarpley, Brad Davis and James Donaldson that took the Lakers to 7 games in that classic WCf's

I mean some of these teams listed are recycled teams and players year after year

The Mavs have produced 4 WCF's teams and 2 NBA Finals teams in their history yet the Kings get more respect.................

Everyone talking about the absence of the Barkley's Suns and Miller's Pacers, but how about those mid-90's Heats with Mourning, Hardaway, Mashburn, Majerle, and P.J, Brown. Those Knicks/Heats playoffs were heated with the numerous fights. 97-98 Heats vs. Knicks (with Ewing, Houston, Sprewell, and L.J.)

It's funny that 2k can't get Barkley and Miller but weren't those guys on those 90's legends team in past NBA 2K games.

Just a small thing, and obviously the lineups are editable anyway, but by default I'm betting David Wingate (or Johnny Newman) will start at small forward and Kendall Gill will be at the two. Dell Curry was always coming off the bench for those teams, like clockwork.

Both of those squads make me a little nostalgic. One of my teams, the Pistons, were struggling in '93. My other team, the Spurs, for as good as they may have been, were basically ignored through most of the country (or so it seemed).

One of the benefits of the internet and other technological advances is that any person can pretty much buy merchandise from any team in the world nowadays. As a Spurs fan living in Michigan back in the early 90's though, it was virtually impossible to find Spurs merch. You know how sporting goods stores rolled back then? They took the five most popular teams and stocked all their goods and that was about it. At that point in time, that meant Bulls, Hornets and Magic jackets and hats were everywhere. I was buying Magic and Hornets garb just because it was the only NBA stuff I could find sometimes. How else can I explain the giant Magic trash can I had and the Tasmanian Devil Hornets cap my 5th grade girlfriend gave me for my birthday?



LJ, Zo, Shaq and Penny were running the universe in the early-mid 90's.

I feel ya, PM. I would've been cool with seeing the 1987-88 Lakers vs. Mavericks, in a rematch of their 7-game Western Conference Finals series. Of course, I could come up with hundreds of other "dream" matchups that I would loved to have seen included in the game.

Same here. Actually, I understand the '87 Celtics-Lakers matchup and believe that should be the matchup. However, wouldn't it be an awesome plan to offer the '87 Mavericks as DLC, as an alternative matchup for '87 Magic? I mean, it's an unlikely scenario, but it would have fit well, yeah?
