Well 2k, you got me...again. I'll be seeing you on release day.

You ain't lyin'. The last time I was excited about 2K in consecutive years was back in the Dreamcast days.

Some of those shots look like the pc mods esp. Magic.

Some info I gathered after today's news.

Matches will be re-created to be as authentic as possible to the time in which they took place. Games will feature commentary that reflects the time frame and that references matches leading to the game in question, and there are promises of extras that should make NBA historians very happy.

Nice find. I'd be interested in what the other stuff would be that'd make NBA historians happy.

Re: NBA 2K12 - NBA's Greatest Mode

So I guess we can expect every single franchise's greatest season team in game next year?

[htown_rockets]

hakeem's quadruple double perhaps? it would be difficult as hell, but it would a great chance to play in the dream's shoes.

Re: NBA 2K12 - NBA's Greatest Mode

I know no one likes my team but PLEASE 2K put the '99 Spurs on the game.

Young Duncan, D-Rob still pretty good, Sean Elliott, Mario Elie, etc.

My favorite team of all time.

Re: NBA 2K12 - NBA's Greatest Mode

Will all of the classic teams from 2k11 be in 2k12?

[jmo2278]

Why are some of you complaining about the graphics? 2K11 looks friggin' great. And 2K12 looks like it's gonna look fantastic, too.

Tell you what--pop in 2K10 and compare it to 2K11. 2K11 blows 2K10 out the water. And don't even get started on 2K9 or earlier. They look absolutely prehistoric compared to 2K11.

Ditto this

Hey how about some Bob Petit's St. Louis Hawks, Joe Fulks, Paul Arizin, Tom Gola's Philadelphia Warriors, Dolph Schayes' Syracuse Nationals, and Oscar Robertson and Jerry Lucas' Cincinatti Royals for some old old school teams besides the obvious Russell Celtics etc.?

I think it's hard to say at this point. I've been wondering the same thing. My guess is some of the classic teams from 2K11 will return, but in an altered state. For instance, we could see what appeared to be the '88 Hawks (as opposed to the '90 Hawks) in the trailer. And it seems like it'd be more economical to perhaps eliminate the '90 Hawks in favor of the '88 team. Similarly, with the addition of the '94 Rockets, I've wondered if this meant a switch over to the '94 Knicks as well (as opposed to '95).

As for the rest of the squads, I hope they kept them around. I'd be bummed to see the Bad Boys not make the cut. I'm also wondering if all the Bulls teams will stick around, with the spotlight no longer being entirely on Michael Jordan.

I'm curious about the old old school teams as well. Though, when the idea of 15 legends was introduced, I'd be doubtful that Gola, Schayes, Fulks, Arizin, and Lucas fit the bill. They're all legends, but they're not the "marketable" type of legends I bet that will make this mode run. Robertson would fit the bill though. And with a possible mention of pre-shot clock days in an article, George Mikan wouldn't seem far off either.

Re: NBA 2K12 - NBA's Greatest Mode

The fact that the bad boys were big rivals against two of the three coverboys makes me think they will be in. Pistons and Celtics rivalry games are gonna be insane.

Yeah I know what you mean. I just tried to think of some of the great black and white teams and who were there center-pieces. I at least somewhat hope to see Bob Petit since he's pretty significant in Basketbsll history, meh we'll see. I'm salivating at the pretty much guaranteed possibility to play with Russell and doing those chase down blocks and horrible free throw shooting.
