NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase DLC Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (New Trailer)

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase DLC Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (New Trai

I've read through this thread but I'm still unclear on a couple of things:

1. Can you use the additional legends in this DLC (the ones not previously in the game, like Bob Lanier, Wes Unseld, etc.) in a regular game mode, specifically incorporate them in a season (like putting them in the free agent list and assigning them to teams)?

2. Can the throwback unis in this DLC be somehow added into your selection for a regular exhibition or season mode with current teams?

3. I'm not interested in blacktop, horse and all that stuff, but I'd like to have those new legends to use in regular play, with or against current players. Can they simply be downloaded on 2k share instead of having to purchase the DLC?

1. Yes.

2. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I have the DLC Legends with their throwback unis, but can't play a game with them because it freezes when I try to play even a Quick Game. I'm trying to combine the two early 90s Suns teams (90 Suns w/ KJ and Chambers, and the 93 Suns w/ Majerle and Ceballos) from a file I downloaded from 2K Share, but it won't let me combine them into one team. The file I dl'd has all the Legends from the DLC on their respective teams, but the rest of the roster on each team is not filled out, i.e. KJ and Chambers are the only two players on the 90 Suns team. I'm trying to put Majerle and Ceballos, along with Jeff Hornacek from the 98 Jazz, on the 90 Suns, but I keep getting an error that says "You must have 12 players on this team".

Um, ya think? That's what I'm trying to do.

So, I'm trying to see if there's a way around this along with the freezing problem.

3. You have to purchase the DLC or the DLC Legends will be headless. Once you purchase the DLC, you can download the DLC Legends off of 2K Share without beating the new modes and the players will look normal.

There are threads on this in the roster forum if you are interested. For BOTH systems btw.

My Warriors (Run TMC) and 01 Kings have disappeared when I got the DLC.

I am going to set up an all random 3 on 3 legend tournament. Can't wait for the crazy teams that will be assembled.

How are you going to do that?

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase DLC Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (New Trai

Ok, I'm thoroughly confused by this DLC. I hear/read u can do this and do that... can anyone clarify some things for me.

I do NOT have 2k12 yet, I have 2k11... but might get 2k12 if I can figure these answers out....

1) Can I play friends online with FULL LEGEND Historical teams in regular single game mode and/or Online Association mode? (i.e. the 94 Knicks vs . the 92 Bulls or the 86 Celtics vs the 87 Lakers, etc. with FULL teams?) On REAL courts and NO cell shade crap?

2) Can I create a team that isn't included (like the 77 Sixers) by creating my own legends and then trade DLC legends onto that team?

3) Is there a full fantasy draft online association with Legend/Current players? ( me and my friends want to create a online league and do a fantasy draft of legends mixed with current players.)

Thanks! Playing my buddies with the legends online (we all live in different cities now) is THE primary mode we wanted in 2k11. Hopefully it is now possible in 2k12?

1. No. Quick matches only.
2. Yes if you downoad some rosters from 2k share.
3. No. Not even close on that one. That would be cool though.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase DLC Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (New Trai

How are you going to do that?

A lot of painstaking effort.

1) There are 165 legends total. (Before Unlocking the Modern Era Players)

2) Random.com allows me to pick a number between 1-165

3) Randomize three numbers and allocate those numbers to the players. (For example, player #1 on the list is Michael Jordan.)

EDIT: Here is a helpful list.

Ugh. I just realized I need to beat the Era Challenge First before I unlock everyone.

Can you clarify the first answer. Can we play in a regular sim setting in an arena without the cell-shading as long as it is a quick match?


I have only watched my friend play the 3v3 and didnt have time to stay and watch him go through anything else.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase DLC Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (New Trai

I just want someone from 2K to answer this 1 question.... Will you guys include the option for friends to play each other with the legend teams online in the upcoming patch?

[Sellaz32]

Realized that despite all the classic team editing options we have from purchasing the DLC we still can't edit playbooks....unless they are in association. Sux.

Re: NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase DLC Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (New Trai

Call me crazy, but I happen to like this dlc... It's a challenge, and I like Challenges... which is also one of the reasons I still Play NBA 2k games.

The 2v2 I used Kareem & Magic and it was not as easy as i thought it was going to be.
The 3v3 I used Dirk ,Kobe & Timmy... and these three together are no joke.

I ****ing love the DLC. If you are a fan of the game, I don't see how you couldn't. People like to nitpick just for the sake of nitpicking.

I'm confused a bit too... MrClutch: do u mean in the answer to my first question that FULL LEGEND TEAMS are in single game mode only with friends? Real arenas? No cell shading?
