that's why the inclusion of a player editor would be great.....

Aw, man--I just realized the late 80s/early 90s Cavs haven't been mentioned in any article so far that I've read (at least I haven't seen them mentioned by 2K). After making them in 2K11 (by switching 1994 Ron Harper to the Cavs and editing his weight and ratings), I was looking forward to playing with and against them in 2K12. They were another team (along with Barkley's Suns and Miller's Pacers) that I enjoyed watching MJ and the Bulls play against back in the day.


Edit: Found the Facebook post that has some of the other teams you can unlock in 2K12 and the 89-90 Cavs ARE in the game! Nice! Now all I have to do is put one of the extra Bulls Ron Harpers on the team and I'm good.

I'd bet it'll be similar to 2K11, where created versions of players could be placed on classic teams in place of generics. For instance, we'll be able to add a very realistic created version of Charles Barkley to the '85 Sixers team in place of the generic "Ron Jones".

I wonder if he's surely included or just suspected of being included. Either way, this mode is going to be terribly, terribly deep in terms of the breadth of players it provides.

I never considered him either because he never played. I'm still scratching my head to remember if he was on the playoff roster. I remember the 9 rotation player and rookies Micheal Wiliams and Fennis Dembo but totally drawing a blank on Dawkins.

Drazen Petrovic is on the Portland roster! Love me some Petro. I don't know if 2K was able to get the retro Nets unis in the game, but this would really help in terms of putting together the 1991-92 or 92-93 Nets teams.

Jelly Bean Bryant and World B. Free are in there, as are the entire 1976 76ers team! Talk about having a "peak" Dr. J, that's IT right there. He had one of the nastiest dunks ever in that Finals series against Portland.
