For instance, it'd be nice if the 1991 Warriors (unlocked with a preorder) came with their actual court design, like all the classic teams did last year. Further, it's just more agreeable with me to have teams featuring real players. For instance, a lot of the classic teams and seasons created for 2K11 by users wouldn't have been nearly as awesome without the ability to use a real MJ, Scottie, Jud Buechler, Hersey Hawkins, or James Worthy. I thought the 2K11 classic rosters far eclipsed the 2K10 rosters due to that aspect alone. So I view the cover and very early news as an indicator that maybe we'll see even more of that (think a real Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond, Tim Hardaway and Sarunas). I understand a lot of folks are totally fine with using generic classic players with teams on current courts that look nothing like the actual classic floors, and it works for me in a pinch, but I sure like the idea of things getting a little more official in that regard.

As much as I like some of the user-created content out there, I gotta agree with you here. Nothing compares to having the actual players likeness in the game, from the biggest names to the scrubs. I'd rather see, say, the real Jack Haley than a user-created Jack Haley.

Awesome. The more classic teams the better. I just hope they have all the subs as well. I will gladly buy the PS3 AND PC version of this game. Worth every penny in my mind.

Right now, still a rumor. There's no 80's Lakers or Celtics teams in there, and the 91 Warriors and 01 Kings aren't on the list. Also, the 2000's teams aren't all very interesting so it looks uneccessary. Why would the 2006 Suns be in the game? Just becaue Nash was the MVP? That doesn't make it automatically fun to play with.

Most probably, that list is wishful thinking, and not even that wishful. Why wish for a bunch of teams that played as recently as 2006?
