NBA 2K12 Legends Not Available Online

Don't care personally.

As far as any logical reasons why it's not in.. well there aren't any good reasons, maybe conflicts with the filters and the 3-point line for ex. what if the 60's Celtics play the 93 Magic would you use the black&white and would there be a 3-point line. Of course maybe they could have added all these options for you to choose before game but didn't have time.

This makes a bit of sense.

And thanks for the life lesson on boredom....let me teach you something about reading comprehension: if you don't understand what is being said, don't make assumptions. I said I still passionately play 2K11...do you? I would imagine the difference is people get bored with playing against the CPU after awhile. I know I do...but playing against human opponents keeps the game fresh.

I wasn't looking for an argument friend. i was making a friendly suggestion. To be honest I haven't played 2k11 in a few weeks, but mainly that's because I'm pacing myself for 2k12. I played 2k11 passionately for much of the year though. I would play 1 maybe 2 full games a night. sometimes I wouldn't even get to play as I am in college and have a lot of homework. I played a lot of my player at first until they patched it and fixing cpu trading in association mode. the association was pretty much all I played. There is a lot more to the game than just online play. I understand you like it, but try my player, try association. Those kept me busy well into May. That's oct-may. quite a bit of gameplay. Considering I got SVR 11 for christmas which is another title I spent quite a long time with. But once may rolled around I wanted some newer games so I went and bought Dragon age and Civilization 4 and played those for a while. but would still play 2k11 3 or 4 times a week, up until very recently so yea 2k11 kept my passion year-round. My point is though online isn't everything. you say that's all you play but I suggest try some other modes out. Association is where 2k has always shined and my player looks very promising this year. and if at some point you get bored go get another sports game, I mean 2k11 is amazing but there are other games out there. try MLB the show. I just picked up MLB 10 a few weeks ago and find that game fantastic. I only made the assumption that you play a whole lot of 2k because you said you play 20 games a week. That seems like a whole lot in my book. Like I said before I wasn't looking for a smar*ss response. I was making a friendly suggestion and still hope it remains that way. not looking for an arugment.

Well I imagine the teams will be available in classic head to head on a single console, so I really don't see why it would be any different online.

Thinking, yes. Thinking it thru? No.

Those same problems will exist in an offline matchup of those same two teams. I'm betting all the fancy video filters and special rules will only apply from within the Greatest mode.

Once unlocked, if you take a team from the 60's into an exhibition game I'm betting it looks and plays like a 2010 NBA game, no matter the team's era.

I think the main problem is a lack of complete rosters for all the legends teams.

And considering the online component is always a unique entity, ever consider you need to implement, test and execute two different online modes to encapsulate all these filters?

You realize that we are talking about twice the work, in addition to the online additions unique to this year?

I'm sure some would think having a classics team free for all online is great now. But again, they're not thinking it through, despite what you claim.

I should add I am not happy with the decision - but time only allows so much. A lot of you forget that.
