    NBA 2K12 - NBA's Greatest Mode


    Multiple outlets are spilling the beans about NBA 2K12's newest mode: NBA's Greatest. The mode seems to be an extension of The Jordan Challenge mode that was available in NBA 2K11.

    This time around Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Julius Erving, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and 10 other unannounced all-time greats will be featured in this new mode.

    At this time, the unannounced players are not the only thing shrouded in mystery here. It's unclear how many different scenarios or teams will even be included in this mode. This is being intentionally done so fans debate who they think should be included, according to 2K Sports.

    The folks at 2K Sports want to go even further when it comes to re-creating moments in the NBA's Greatest mode by mimicking broadcasts from the '80s and even '60s. This means different camera angles, replay styles or even black and white video in order to bring people into the historical aspects of these games.

    The NBA's Greatest mode seems like a really smart one when considering the ongoing NBA lockout, as well as the success of The Jordan Challenge mode last year.

    YES!!!!!!

    Smart move by 2K. IMO, Ea won't be able to recover from this. Live/Elite is gonna have a hard time gaining fans again...

            Nice. I liked the Dr. J screen as well, and seems like those are some Converse shoes. I just hope they don't put for each of these teams the starting five plus 7 generic guys...

              I don't know if I'm seeing it right or not but...is Dr. J actually palming it!!!???

              Or is that just the normal size of a player's hands?

                  Now...time to start figuring out who the other 10 players are...

                  I think that Drexler's Blazers will be there, since they're already in 2K11. What about Hakeem's Rockets?

                  EDIT:
                  Hey, it's not fair! Magic and Kareem played on the same team. Unless we have those 70's Bucks...?

                    YES! Jerseys aren't so baggy on classic players (based on these early screens). That's what made the short shorts look off in 2K11.
