I think we've all been kind of wondering whether 2K would be willing to move that far back in history, as their Jordan-centric mode last year only went as far back as '86. But as I mentioned in my post I was probably writing at the same time as you, I think the black-and-white mention confirms at least a few of our real classic guys will be making an appearance.

Presentation-wise, there were replays that were specific to the Classic Teams mode in 2K11 and those weren't optional. I don't know how you're certain, but I sure hope you're right.

There are flaws, obvious flaws that everyone sees, but some of us prefer to point them out while others decide to pretend they aren't there. 2K needs to quit this old school trend and get back in the now. Create a good game of basketball for us to play, not for us to watch.

Um, they did create a good game of basketball for us to play. No, I take that back--they created a GREAT game of basketball for us to play. Many Sports Game of the Year awards backs that up.

And as for all these Ol' School players we're getting--HELL. YEAH.

I'm glad to be playing with players I grew up watching.

Talking about choking...LOL. Nah, I love Ewing, but then again, I'm still asking myself if those past teams must be ones that won titles or just some past great teams (sorry, haven't seen any confirmation for that). If those are teams that won, you can forget about Patrick's Knicks.
