NBA 2K12 Legendary Teams Will Be Playable Online, Via DLC

Re: NBA 2k12 Legends Showcase (online)

so does this mean we can only use them on the blacktop and not in standard hardwood exhibitions? or 5 on 5 unranked team up play?

This would be terrible, they'll then promptly patch it in and charge us for DLC for the DLC.......

^^^this. It looks like we will only be able to play on blacktop, and the wording is vague about playing 5 on 5. Plus it says "available now on xbox live marketplace" so I'm assuming we'll have to pay a little extra for it.

That said, if we can play 5 on 5 hardwood matches with the legendary teams I'll be downloading it in a heartbeat.

Well......we wanted to use classic teams online.....we got it !!!

At a price !

Next question......what's the price ?


Edit: I just read the posts about using the classic teams on the black top mode only. That would kinda suck....especially at an extra charge. If I was to pay extra I'd want it to be in the arena....not the playground.

Edit # 2: Also, no price is mentioned, maybe it's free ?? Maybe they'll give you a code with purchase of the game ??

LOL, Dirk stays where was last year at 85, but is something wrong with my eyes or is his medium range at 99?!?!

Wow people are going to cheese with Dirk...

Might be free. Could be a disk-space issue, which is why it needed to be done thru DLC. Good omen too. Could we perhaps get other old school goodies throughout the year?....

If I were 2K I'd charge people 10 dollars for it...

Guys are stealing 2k's thunder, first the Nike ID and now with this. What happens when you take to long.

Simply poor marketing strategy on 2K's part. Once the game is on disc, anything goes: stuff WILL leak.

They should have announced these features a couple weeks ago.

This mode actually could be pretty cool if they refined the blacktop game. Throwback to NBA Street 2...not quite, but sort of.

Haha, Rudy Fernandez is the Mavs 4th best SG with a rating of 65 and he's a starter in the demo? LOL

Yea it looks like its DLC and in a blacktop setting. Guess we cant have the cake and the ice cream at the same time. Not into the blacktop streetball setting on a sim basketball game. If i wanted that i would play NBA Street but o well at least I can use my 95-95 magic online. Im still skeptical on weather or not you can play 5v5. That screenshot never mentioned it.

Just speculation but some stuff might have been meant to be leaked. The casual gamers is the group the marketing team target and I dont they are going to care to much for things like this, the NIKEID thing, and other things being leaked.

I know that during the finals the commentators were saying a medium range jumper was like a layup for Dirk but I didn't think 2K would take that literally...

Which part of this sentence makes you think that? "Play online with the legendary teams from NBAs greatest!"

Precisely. Marketing has been horrible this year. Might overall lead to more sales, but perhaps not more fans from this community.

How is letting leaked footage run rampant bad marketing? If anything it's letting the community do the work for them.
