    2K Sports Announces NBA® 2K12 Legends Showcase Add-on Content Now Available

    Adds hours of play with more than 300 basketball legends and all-new gameplay modes

    New York, NY – November 29, 2011 – 2K Sports announced today that Legends Showcase, the downloadable add-on content for NBA® 2K12, is now available for $9.99 via PlayStation® Network for the PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system and for 800 Microsoft Points via Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

Gamers can also unlock current NBA players to create unique match-ups between legends and current stars. Finally, for the ultimate challenge, gamers can bring their My Player into the mix and battle the legends of the NBA to see how they stack up against the best ever.

    Legends Showcase also includes Classic Quick Match, a new mode that allows gamers to play online with the “NBA’s Greatest” teams in a regular simulation setting.

          Just downloaded it and messed around with it for about half an hour. (I couldn't sleep anyways) Honestly, I probably won't be doing that much playing around with it. The sliders don't transfer, you can't turn the cell-shade off, you can't even put it on cpu vs cpu if you just want to kick back and relax. And no, the new legends are NOT in the main game now. Another thing of note is that the existing hexed CAPs on 2K Share still have the black arms even after you download them. It remains to be seen if they'll still be there if someone re-uploads them with the DLC intact (if that's even possible).

          Pretty much the only plus I can see is that the ability to customize the classic rosters is available right off the bat, which is great since that was the primary attraction of this DLC for me.

          Bottom line: unless there's a code we don't know about to unlock the new legends in the main game or if you're big into roster customization, you can probably live without the DLC. Of course, I realize a lot of people play online and use the My Player and Create A Legend modes, but I don't use either so I don't consider myself to be a fair judge of those factors.

            This DLC is very underwhelming. The only part of it I'm pleased with is the access to the legend teams, which should have been included with the game anyways.

            To anyone who downloads this:

            Make sure you are rating it how you actually feel about it. I know we are still giving 2K our money and justifying their DLC, but if they get a lower rating they might reassess future DLC releases or even this DLC release. I urge you, rate it low if you are unimpressed with the content!!!

                I stayed up all night to buy this game and it completely destroyed my rosters so beware of that. They also prompted me for the lebron 9 south beach which also completely glitches the game if you try to access this so my question is what is all this for did you do no beta testing for this dlc or did you once again say screw your consumer. My game is now ruined until they patch this THANKS ALOT 2K

                  kobe, duncan and dirk arent available in any other modes aside from the 3v3 era challenge. plus, whats up with not having to clear the ball after a steal or block? i thought a change of possession meant you had to clear the ball, not only after a missed shot and rebound.

                    I would like to know what you mean by destroyed your roster? I assume copied over it. I understand your pissed, i just want to know what exactly your talking about so others can watch out for it.

                    For those with it, what can we exactly edit on the legends teams? Can we just add the CAPs or can we edit the fake players to the real missing players? That might be enough to get me to bite.

                      I have the same problem..the game prompted me with Lebron 9 Miami shoe after i downloaded the DLC and no art is visible for it..then i try to customize it and the game crashes..also after couple of games 2vs2 teammate challenge i went out of the mode and came back and the save file somehow got corrupted and i got to start all over again...so far not good experiences of this mode at all..

                            you cant edit the fake players' names and stuff but you can release them and add created players to the teams
