    Re: NBA 2K12 Cover Athletes - Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird

    I Love the Covers as other have said why not go green and purple on Bird and Magic tho.

    For the newcomers who liked 2k11 and are concerned about a lack of focus don't be.

    To the old heads don't get yourself worked up into a lather over who's included and who isn't we do this every year and are then disappointed at what should actually be great news.

      This does all make me wonder what theyre up to when EA's basketball game returns..

      This is just the cover though, might not even be the biggest news although it is pretty big. This kinda stuff hits the USA today and different things

        Just read a number of these posts. For me, it's gonna be really hard to top 2k11. I have all the classic rosters I need and a LOT of time was put into them (and more work to be done on them once the REDitor drops). I LOVE this year's game, so I'm not sure a cover will sell me even though I'd go gay for Larry Bird.

          I know the Sim Nation leader is loving the cover announcement. I am in agreement on the colors and who knows, maybe they will tweak them a bit before launch?

          PortlandBlazer and MKHarsh33 worked their butts off to produce nearly 2 decades' worth of classic rosters for NBA 2K11; I'm sure they'd appreciate a little help from 2K by adding more legends to 2K12

            It's ACTUALLY the 2001-02 Kings team, not the 2000-01 team. This gets you Webber, Divac, Bibby, Peja, Hedo, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, G-Force, Scot Pollard, and...Funderburke if my memory serves me correctly.

                Still awesome, even without Jason Williams.

                Watched that team play L.A. at my prom dinner. There's even a picture of me craning my neck backward, ignoring my girl, so I could catch some second quarter action on the big screen.

                  Hey as long as 2K decides to add a Prime Tract McGrady dunk package (or the ability to pass the ball of the backboard to yourself specifically I'll be more than happy)

                      Wow. That team was loaded, probably more than the Lakers were at the time. Only thing LAL had on them was that their two A players were better than the Kings two A players. Everyone else, I'd take the Kings for all match ups.

                      Now we just have to patiently wait until the list of classic teams comes out to get the scope of how far 2K has reached with 2K12.

                        So glad that they brought Jordan back again! Very happy to see him gracing the cover as well. I thought I was going to have to hold on to 2k11 forever just because I may have never seen him in another title again. As long as they keep improving gameplay and adding to their fantastic presentation they get my money again. This and "The Show" are a sure thing every year - only games I can say that about.

                          I still would like to see a Rose/Jordan cover, them standing back to back. And even I hate the Bulls.
                          I dont get it. Why should Rose be on the cover with Jordan?? Cuz he won an MVP award?

                          A Dirk and Bird cover would blow that away imo.

                                I'll definitely go the Jordan route. Sick cover.
