You don't speak for everyone nor do can you determine what's "right" for 2K to implement. And also, Karl Malone > Charles Barkley IMO.

Thats your feeling for him as a personality (and what a weird feeling to have). While I didn't state that I'm speaking for everyone, I read these posts through and through and most of em asking the very same question: Can we have Chuck?. If not for controlling him, simply because his battle against MJ was fantastic and based on the fact that he was probably the 2nd best player of that generation.

As for Malone being greater....thats your opinion fam lol. I'mma Barkley fan, dude dominated the PF position and led the league in OFF Rebs for 3 straight years!!!! At 6'6'' mind you! This wasn't the 60's or 70's where there weren't many tall players who played well, this was late 80's early 90's with guys like Robinson (7'1''), Olajuwon (7'), Parish (7'1''), Shaq (7'1''), Mutombo (7'2'') and Ewing (7') dominated the paint. So if you want to say Malone was better, I wont argue that, thats your opinion. Malone was great no doubt: Barkley was just better to me.

this is a nice little teaser...unfortuantlely it's more a of a "teaser for the teasers"...not much info here...at least now we know we'll be getting regular insights in the coming days...that's about the only real info that came of it.

i'm always more interested in gameplay improvements than cosmentic stuff and presentation...that's where you get to the real meat of how the game actually plays, which is all i really care about.

I actually remember seeing Dumas back in the early 90's before returning to the NBA. The guy was one of the most athletic players in Euro basketball back then and he won a couple of local dunk contests. Too bad he couldn't say no to some things...

Richard Dumas! Nice reference. Loved his game, thought he was on track to be Scotty Pippen type, too bad it fell apart for him. Dont quote me 100%, but i seem to recall Jordan praising his defense, and high regard for his skills in general.

Back on topic, 2k12 pics look great!!! Keep em coming

True there. I also see on 2K Share he is the most downloaded Player DNA.

And you call my opinion weird... I don't doubt some people would agree with you, but ask any scout or coach who they'd prefer on their team from that mid 80s-90s generation and he wouldn't come up as second pick very much.

You go on to mention 7 footers who don't rebound like Barkley. Being taller has never automatically made someone a great rebounder, so I won't deny Barkley being great in that department. However, he admitted himself that he was not a great defender, and that is currently what holds a lot of players (Chuck included) back from being in that top tier category for legends IMO.

It is his personality on TV alone that has made me not care for him altogether.
