Wow - according to you they NEVER fix anything.

Let's ignore everything they fixed last year... and ignore everything they're obviously fixing this year... and keep making funny comments when you're wrong again!

Let's see - what else can people complain about this year....?

LOL

I agree that they have made strides improving the graphics and did make positive changes last year - seem to be doing even more this year - and I like to think the "graphics & authenticity" thread helped.

Their are so many things they could have perfected instead of adding this mode. I was excited about the Jordan mode at first, but after a few challenges never played it again, but I do always want him in the game. what about my player? online franchises finally? the servers are still a problem. Online crew's can be sooo much better. these are the things that matter to me actually. I see this mode really as just a cosmetic surgery or putting make up on a flawed game. Putting a band aid on a gun shot wound

Agreed. I'm one of those people who only has a bit of an interest in this legends stuff.

The E3 demo, and some stuff in that reveal trailer makes me worried about the state of the gameplay.

love the sleeve Rondo has on. looks like it's shorter and leaves room for accessory layering.

I would love to see "Legend" specific animations like we got with Jordan last year. I remember a couple of old games years ago had a specific dribbling style for Magic Johnson as a legend (can't remember if it was an old NBA Live game or one of the early NBA 2K games on PS2)..

Not to be rude, but what "stuff in that reveal" could you possibly have seen that would worry you?

I wouldn't be too concerned with the E3 gameplay, as it was mainly to showcase Sony's Playstation Move in an early demo (since we're all privy to the official demo being Miami vs. Dallas and not Miami vs. L.A.).

Give them some time bro. This is only the first Insight...and as you read, it was more or less an introduction to the other 11 insights. I'm sure the things most important to you will be addressed in a future Developer Insight.

Mainly Jordan's fastbreak dunk. I had a thread recently about my distaste for 2K's transition game.

Like I said before, "I'm worried". I'm still waiting to hear what they're going to do to actually fix the problems of 2k10/11, so I haven't made a judgement one way or another.

As for Pete Maravich I wasn't alive when he played. I'll have to go to a dinosaur musuem to watch video on a dusty vhs cassette of of Pete Maravich playing. lol. Just joking. Da_Czar are you nba 2k's ratings czar?

That was cold fam !!! LOL Nah, I am not the ratings czar.
