NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

Ronnie2ks tweet about online legends:

"For those asking about the Online use of Legends, stay tuned on that. There's a method to the madness."

So there will be an explanation shortly.

The only explanation that will be excusable is if there was no way to code it or program it in. If its a fairness, or balance issue then we should expect them to patch it in if they can, or let us play online with them in 2k13. If that is a 2k community wish then the fairness/balance issue does not come into play

It's certainly possible to code it in.

Anything you can implement offline you can implement online.

There's more to it than that.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

Don't think there is a viable excuse for not being able to use them:
•Balance issues=unranked only
•not having matching rosters= teams are already on disc, allow those who unlocked them to play with said teams and lock them out for those who haven't until they do so.
•Different eras=standardize games to be played under modern rules or allow this to be chosen when setting up. Keep modern presentation to streamline it.
•technical issues adding teams= really?

I may not be a dev but this shouldn't be impossible....hoping for better news on this.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

Perhaps it has to do with the moneyball tournaments the game always opens up with? Perhaps they don't want players competing with those teams and didn't have time to lock them out?

Just spitballing, I don't really think that's plausible.

exactly what is was thinking. Its not like they are bringing in something totally new to put online. There has to be more to it. And i think 2k knows we want legends online so they know the balance/fairness issue would not sit well

HMMM maybe. I wonder if there will be a virgingaming.com tournament again this year. I think 2k sponsored it last year. So maybe they didnt want some players who have unlocked the teams to be able to use them while others couldnt. Speculation on my end also but i dont think this is the case.

On second thought, there would be an easy fix to this. Make a separate lobby where you can choose all teams that is separate from the virgin gaming lobby, so yea this definitely does is not the case

Let's just hope this isn't leading up to an online legends pass dlc lol.

I'm not gonna lie...I wouldn't be happy about it but I'd buy it in a second.

Are we still awaiting their "method to the madness"?

Same here, guess we'll get our explanation tomorrow?

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

This is extremely disappointing. What's the point of getting the pre-order teams then? You can only use them locally.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

I am not really an online gamer but I have played against my brother and a friend of mine online and few relatives too. I absolutely hated playing as current teams only on 2k11 since I am not a big fan of today's NBA. I was looking forward to finally being able to use classic teams online since my brother hardly comes over, and the other family members I have played with live in Mexico, and my other friend lives too far. Playing the computer only gets boring, win or lose. not sure why 2k is now having this greatest team ever debate commercial if classic teams cannot be played online.

I'm thinking that 2k will save this feature for future installments and try to use that as a selling point and by then who knows, maybe Barkley and Miller would have also agreed to be in the game.

They need to save things for next year and the year after that and so on. Whatever I'm sure they will explain their logic, which may or may not go well with those of us whom are disappointed with the exclusion of classic teams online.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

Wow, I am a little embarrassed for 2k. This is unbelievable. Maybe they will have it available for nba2k18. Pathetic. This is the kind of decision making that gives 2k a bad reputation. Pure incompetence. The group that is responsible for this should realize they are selfish in their actions, they wont give us what we want.
