    so according to this thread http://www.operationsports.com/forum...details.htmlit states that "Disappointingly, though, the jerseys and PLAYERS that are added to the DLC will not be available anywhere in the RETAIL GAME."

    yet in the Game Pro article it stated: "You can set up a 2 on 2 matchup with anyone and any rules you want, or you can play the "2 on 2 Teammate Challenge" which functions a lot like the original NBA's Greatest mode. Beat those and you'll unlock all of the classic players into the MAIN GAME where you can draft them onto current teams or set them loose on the free agent market."

    This seems contradictory unless I'm inferring wrongly
    On second thought, I can see where your inference comes from. The word "into" seems to insinuate the user having the ability to move the legends over from somewhere else, as opposed to simply unlocking the legends already in the main game. Some clarification from a higher-up would be most beneficial.

            I'm a HUGE NBA 2K fan but I have zero interest in this DLC. The cartoon look is terrible. Also, you are asking me to buy modes of game that you left out on purpose? You picked the wrong time for this 2K. The lockout has killed your sales. Most sports gamers have already moved on to other games. In a few short months The Show will hit the shelves and I won't even care about the NBA.

              My concern is if those players that are hexed have the black arms.

                its so obvious that the brains at 2k prepared for a year of losing money and low sales. after the virgin gaming tourney is over, i gotta hang this up and get serious with BF3 and MW3. that 10 dollars for the DLC is going towards my gas tank. cell shaded graphics? why did i spend all this money for an Xbox360 so you could give me atari graphics? no thanks. classic teams available online but NOT in quick ranked matches? my last 30 games online, 25 of them were against the heat. more options would only help, not hurt. Mike Wang, love the gameplay improvements by the team this year but 2k12 goes to show that its really NOT just about solid gameplay like many want to believe.

                  atari graphics were never cel shaded

                  playstation 2 gamecube and xbox were...

                  that outta the way.

                  I was hoping this would have already been out. They are trying to preserve this game for the holdiday season that why they're doing this. Its just more reason to promote the game is all.

                  Cant blame them for trying as i think this IS the best NBA 2k game thats ever come out...gameplay wise and graphically

                  Anyway complaining about NBA 2k12's gameplay has not EVER looked into finding edits for the game. As edits ahve been able to provide even better gameplay throughout the years.

                    If 2K want to keeps the sales of NBA2K12 strong, they need to release a different DLC than this one. Especially with the current NBA season probably gone, they may as well focus a little more on the classic players feature of the game. First off this next patch that's coming needs to be a good one, that will address all of the gameplay features/options that we have been having problems with. Second they need to give the users full control of what we want to do with the classic teams and players, edit players, add release players, etc. Third add more players or classic teams in DLC. I just don't see this current DLC as being that attractive to the NBA2K12 fans, unless the option is included to be able to unlock those new classic players and add them to any mode you want and to current legend teams, as rumored.

                      ^^^


                      Unfortunately with the doom and gloom of the lockout hanging over this NBA season. That negativity surrounding NBA basketball will effect the sales of the game this year. Nothing 2K can really do about it


                      But ......It would be cool if they added more classic teams via DLC.


                      For example: They could release the 01 Sixers vs the 01 Raptors as a small DLC. That would be sweet, they could have a couple of those "match ups" per month.

                        I really wish sports game designers would just run polls on OS for pretty much all the features they plan on putting in games. You want to sell product to the people? Consult the people. I'm tired of 5 or 6 out of touch lames sitting in an office coming up with bad or so-so ideas. They guy who suggested cell shading should be sent home immediately without pay. The guy who said "Let's lock legend teams for at least two months and I have users unlock them", should be black balled from the industry. By the time they release the patch, DLC and open classic rosters, 95% of gamers will have moved on from NBA 2k12. They waited for the iron to cool completely off and then planned a strike lol.

                          i asked ronnie on twitter about allowing us to use the legends in association and he said. You'll be able to do that with the DLC Legends Showcase.

                            I wish there was an option to turn that cell shade on or off. If this DLC is completely in cell shade I might have to pass.

                              Monumentously Bad Decisions in the Sports Video Gaming Industry:

                              1. Madden 09's removal of CPU sliders.

                              2. 2K's decisions to buy the exclusive MLB gaming rights.

                              3. The abomination that was the NBA Live series.

                              4. Cell shading in any way, shape or form.
                              It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.

                                Wow, look at the dislikes. I don't think I've ever seen promotional content for a DLC this poorly received. It might not look that terrible with the cel shading turned off. But the corny announcing, "funky" cel shading, and presentation style really clashes with the classic players, their short shorts and eerily realistic animations.
