Ohhh good question.

Here's another wonder of mine: will pre-'79 teams mean an absence of a three-point line for certain matchups? If so, will it carry over as an option for normal games?

Why are some of you complaining about the graphics? 2K11 looks friggin' great. And 2K12 looks like it's gonna look fantastic, too.

Tell you what--pop in 2K10 and compare it to 2K11. 2K11 blows 2K10 out the water. And don't even get started on 2K9 or earlier. They look absolutely prehistoric compared to 2K11.

You need to play the old-time challenges on a SD TV. Otherwise, the game would freeze.

Create a good game of basketball for us to play, not for us to watch.

Wow, Im I don't even know what to say after reading that. The Greatest mode is just one of the early features of the game that they are announcing. There will be more features, gameplay improvements and other things that will be announced in the coming weeks, months. And then to say "create a good game of basketball for us to play"??? Did you play NBA2K10 or NBA2K11, especially 2K11 - 2K has been knocking it out the park with the strides and improvements to there basketball game every year. I can't even see how a true fan of the NBA isn't excited about having Jordan, Bird and other legend teams/players as a added bonus to a current NBA game. This was a great move by 2Ksports, and im confindent the 2K devs have made great improvements to the current teams/players on the game also. Sorry but im just puzzled by some of the younger guys who don't like the idea of having the legend teams/players as a added bonus to 2KBasketball games.

Anyway, NBA2K12 will be Legendary, it will be interesting to see what other legend teams they add to the game.

They should. The shot clock's been around since 1954.

If you pre-order 2K12, you get a 1960's B/W TV -
