Sounds good to me!

!!!

Now I MUST pre-order.

The pre-order bonus is a GREAT start towards realizing my dream of 30 classic teams in the game. I'm stoked that Run-TMC will be represented and that Sacramento team was nasty as well.

I'm for sure pre-ordering for BOTH the 360 and PS3. I'll probably get the Magic cover for the 360, Bird for the PS3 and when the price goes down, I'll pick up a Jordan copy for the 360.

Just when I thought I was good and settled in with 2K11 for another year or two, 2K ups the ante. The next few weeks/months are going to be very interesting as more news about the game is released.

Why was Ronnie hyping this cover as if it was going to be a total shocker? People have been saying Bird/Magic since last year.

I Love the Covers as other have said why not go green and purple on Bird and Magic tho.

For the newcomers who liked 2k11 and are concerned about a lack of focus don't be.

To the old heads don't get yourself worked up into a lather over who's included and who isn't we do this every year and are then disappointed at what should actually be great news.

This does all make me wonder what theyre up to when EA's basketball game returns..

This is just the cover though, might not even be the biggest news although it is pretty big. This kinda stuff hits the USA today and different things

Just read a number of these posts. For me, it's gonna be really hard to top 2k11. I have all the classic rosters I need and a LOT of time was put into them (and more work to be done on them once the REDitor drops). I LOVE this year's game, so I'm not sure a cover will sell me even though I'd go gay for Larry Bird.

I know the Sim Nation leader is loving the cover announcement. I am in agreement on the colors and who knows, maybe they will tweak them a bit before launch?

PortlandBlazer and MKHarsh33 worked their butts off to produce nearly 2 decades' worth of classic rosters for NBA 2K11; I'm sure they'd appreciate a little help from 2K by adding more legends to 2K12

It's ACTUALLY the 2001-02 Kings team, not the 2000-01 team. This gets you Webber, Divac, Bibby, Peja, Hedo, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, G-Force, Scot Pollard, and...Funderburke if my memory serves me correctly.
