LoL, you think you have to be 12 to actually have human beings next to you when you play video games? Contrary to popular belief, some of us actually play multiplayer games with multiple people in one area. You should try it.

reading about all the improvements and things added, this is minor to me...im a online player too

This has no bearing on my decision that this will be a launched day purchase. I do agree with others that a option to play non rank games using these teams would have been nice.

That is just stupid, maybe if we make enough of a fuss on blogs they will change this. I mean you have them on the covers we should be able to play online. That was my main hope and reason why I was going to buy this game.

this is definitely a bummer even though i don't play online very often. Well I'll still be purchasing regardless. I love basketball too much and apparently this may be my only source of basketball after the WNBA playoffs (besides playing some real life pick-up). So thanks 2K for that, but I definitely see why so many people are disappointed.

From the looks of this thread, most people are either "online" players, or "offline players. I for one have enjoyed all the modes in 2k11. Association and My Player are my bread and butter, and Online is reserved for when I need something a bit more competitive.

With that said, it is certainly disappointing to hear that we most likely can't bring the legend teams online. The Legend teams are what I'm most excited for, and I would love to whoop some heat/95bulls players with my 72 Knicks. But I won't let that take away from all the amazing gameplay/AI/My Player/Presentation/Post up/Defensive changes 2k has obviously worked so hard to implement. They have listened to our feedback as a community, and are clearly doing everything in their power to deliver a truly special and polished product.

Devs, I'm not a programmer and have zero understanding of what it would take to include these legend teams in online play, but if it is a "fairness" decision, and not a technical hurdle, I urge you to re-consider. These old teams were great, but will be no better than the current heat in video game terms. It seems logical to reward dedicated players who have unlocked the teams in Greatest mode with access to those teams for online play. We don't need the era-specific presentation, and only players who have unlocked the teams should have access to them.

If this statement is true, we should all expect this since 2k is not very reliable for online play to begin with.
