Argh.

Yeah, I'm actually still willing to defend the legends and whatnot. However, I'm with you, as I read that insight about how much time and effort they'd put into 3-on-3 and whatnot, I was sort of left wondering if it was time well spent. I suppose we'll find out come Tuesday.

maybe it's just me (but i doubt it)....

but why introduced DLC for a franchise that is, by its own admission, mired in Sega Dreamcast-era online functionality?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to correct and perfect online stability and basic game-mode functionality BEFORE peddling more underdeveloped add-on products?

Incidentally, this is the "Sim Gamer's" site, correct?
I'm just asking because i don't recall a single request or wish-list-entry from a single person here for CARTOONISH graphics and non-stardard basketball modes.

I DO, HOWEVER, recall continuous pleading (year in and year out) for a game that actually functions online with some sense of regularity and reliabilithy.

What I'm basically saying is... Shouldn't 2k make sure they've provided us with a working freezer before trying to sell us bags of ice??

I just don't know why NBA-Scanner-Darkly2k12 even exists... EXCEPT as a blatant attempt to steal consumers of the (sure-to-be) arcade experience of a returning NBA Live/Elite franchise.

I just want to play realistic basketball and NBA 2k is so close... yet so far away.

So, like any responsible consumer, I WILL SPEAK WITH MY WALLET.

sigh...guess I'm alone. this game is so freakin deep. come on guys. 30 legend teams could have been released as a separate game for 59.99 itself. why are we mad about an optional $10 release of streetball game? let 's see for 70.00 bucks total we get..

Association-25 years of simulation!
Exhibition
Create-A-Team-Add 10 more teams to already deep roster!
Create -A-Player
Ability to edit tendencies .name another video game with that.
Situational-recreate our favorite moments!
Playoff
Season
Myplayer
Create a legend
legend challenges
Blacktop-Although stripped
Legends showcase-revised blacktop with more street feel
Signatures- more shots, dunks,lay-ups etc.. than ever
2kshare! my favorite
Reelmaker
custom arena sounds
decent selection of accessories and shoes
more practice modes
Ability to play coach (coach mode)
much improved post game offensively anyway
better playbooks

I can keep going but I've got my money's worth, and I haven't really touched a lot of game modes. Thats not to say the game doesn't have faults. there are anoying glitches and gameplay problems. but at least 2k is supporting their game. besides this might encourage more legend teams...

All I did was skip down to 03 McGrady and scream like a little girl.

You deserve an encore my friend


I'm highly disappointed with 2K right now. They can take this Legends Showcase DLC and blow it out their ?!

Not only do I agree with everything your saying but I'm more interested in the insight regarding this upcoming game-play patch not playing some street mode that was removed from the game with hope of persuading the consumer to shell out more cash for crap that's not worth playing. Fix what we have first!

I feel you Sundown


Sorry if I offended anyone but. . . it seems like there's too much focus on the wagon in front of the horse here when we have a game that's been released since Oct. 4th that needs some serious questions answered.

Guys - this isn't the thread to keep bringing things up that have been talked about before and in other threads.

Can we keep this thread on the DLC perhaps? Apparently you can go on Facebook and let loose your fury there... but it's getting old when a thread is trying to discuss something and the same guys keep coming in and repeating the same things.
