NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase Review

[RaychelSnr]

For the first time in a long time, there may finally be some DLC for a sports game that is worth purchasing.

NBA 2K12’s Legends Showase brings to life New York’s Time Square with even more legends than the original retail product. The content includes new game modes and the ability to take classic teams online and into your own dynasty. I’m sure most gamers are on the fence about getting the DLC, so here is a guide that should help you make the final decision.

still debating on getting this. Some of it sounds great, but I'm tight so I really don't know if I'll for over the 10 or not. It's something to think about though.

I'll have to give the commentary another listen. I don't recall being blown away by it. In fact, my first impression was that it felt forced and mildly annoying.

I certainly wouldn't call the commentary amazing. It's alright but it doesn't annoy me either.

I like the mode because it's about the closest thing to NBA Street since homecourt and I like having something quick to play on the side outside of quick games while I'm waiting on roster updates and the patch.

I have loved this DLC. It was like getting a whole knew game for only $10! I love every mode. I grew up loving the NBA in the late 80's early 90's so getting to play as players from that era in a game with great graphics is great. I also grew up with NBA Jam so the two on two games have some of that feel with out the over the top arcade game play. It really feels like what a two on two or three on three game would be like with these players. For $10 and the fact that it also makes 2K12 better, makes this a must buy in my book.

Downloaded it yesterday. My neighbor came over and we spent over an hour playing the 2 on 2 challenge and loved it (he was Jordan, I was Pippen). I would recommend playing as Jordan and Pippen, though, as we found we needed their quickness to have a chance against the CPU. Last night, in itself, was worth the $10.

I love the DLC.

My ONLY negative is that you cant play online head to head with friends...ONLY RANDOM MATCH UPS

Doesn't legitimize the removal of 1v1-4v4, 21, and the other options of the normal Blacktop mode.....

The only reason I thought about buying it would have been for this. And it turns out being the reason I, and everyone from my association passed. You hear that 2k, that's at least 15 sales right there. $150. We would have loved to take the classic teams against each other. That actually would have brought new life to the game for us. I just don't understand why they would do this? Can you think of any game where it doesn't give you an option to play against friends, and only allows you to play with randoms? I can't because its a bad idea. And one I would have hoped a major developer/publisher like Visual Concepts/ 2k would have been too smart to make.

Played it for about 15 minutes until I saw someone had managed to get all the legends into the free agent pool. haven't touched it since and probably wont.

There is a way to get the new legends in the main game but it's a big pain in the you know what. I uploaded a roster file for those of you that have the DLC and want the legends. RockitOldSchool is my PS3 name. If you don't have the DLC I believe the new legends will appear headless. Also, there are some freezing issues, not all the time, but it's something I have noticed with the new rosters. I'm hoping 2K will release a patch and let us do what we want with the legends since that is the main reason I paid the $10. It's really annoying that they again lock that down. In the future I'm going to refrain from buying their DLC if they are going to keep screwing us.

[JerseySuave4]

the only reason i'd wanna buy this is the ability to take classic teams into an association but i don't think thats enough to warrant buying this. Once the updated rosters come out i'll start an association with real teams so i doubt i'd play a classic team association anytime soon and the cell shaded thing is a huge turnoff.

[mrbrent]

I love this DLC.... absolutely the biggest downfall is not being able to use the new legends with the current rosters in Association. I truely hope this is fixed later...
