NBA 2K12 Legends Showcase DLC Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (New Trailer)

[PennyHard]

hello everybody i'm french so it's difficult to me to understand everything.

"Current players like Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan and Grant Hill will also be re rated so you can use them at the peak of their careers" i would like to know if it's true, and if other player like them are in the same situation and who?

i would like to know if it's possible to use Dan Majerle or Kevin Johnson in exhibition mode for example if i make a game between 93 Suns and 95 Orlando Magic, or Hawks with Steeve Smith.

I'm not sure but i read on this forum that Suns 93 jerseys was available, is it true? and same question for 92 sixers jerseys.

is it possible to trade Drexler in the Houston rockets 94, or Dennis Rodman in the Spurs 98, or Terry Cummings?

Is it possible to create a team with 12 legends players?

Is the 90's court have always a half circle in the paint?

thanks you.

I purchased the Legends Showcase this morning. While I don't care for the cell-shading at all and so far the mode seems pretty weak it was worth my $10 just for the extra legends and the ability to trade and assign all legends.

I didn't play a lot of the Classic Showcase but here's what I can tell you. You can't turn the cell-shading off. Don't even bother. Even Ronnie stated the other day that it isn't possible because it's a different game entirely. It's really hard to shoot from the outside. I did win a few matches but you can't adjust sliders or difficulty. Chris Mullin bricked every 3 I launched. I'll go back and spend more time on this mode later when I'm bored but I wanted to jump right into why I really bought this, to edit my rosters.

I'm just as annoyed as anyone that I have to pay to get the extra legends and that I had to pay again just to be able to trade legends but what can you do? I had to have this option. I don't know why guys are having issues finding the new legends outside of Lengends Showcase. As soon as I quit and returned to the main menu all the new legends are there. Also, I read that PS3 users got screwed but I found the legends just fine. It's not as straight forward as it should be though. Whatever previous rosters you had will get corupted bad. Like all players will be doubled. Before you download Legends Showcase be sure to back up any rosters you don't want to lose and then create a dummy roster that will get screwed up. I had autosave turned off and it still corupted but I was able to retrieve my older roster saves and they were fine.

To get the new legends I had to trade them to a team, I traded 15 of them to the Utah Jazz just because. I then launched a season with the Jazz and exported the team. I loaded my older, uncorupted roster files. Next I loaded the exported team. My new legends were there. I was able to trade Yao Ming to the Rockets. I loaded a game to make sure everything worked and it seemed fine. That's as far as I got.

I have no idea what would happen if I upload the new legends to 2K Share but I will try to do this later on today. I'm not sure if the new legends would appear if you don't have the new mode. My PSN is RockitOldSchool if you want to look up my roster files later today.

YellaBoy, most of what you were asking I covered a minute ago. But I also did notice more classic jerseys than before. I can't name them all but I'm pretty sure these are new because I don't remember them from before. For example, the '93 Suns jersey was there. You can use the new legends in Exhibition and you can now trade and assign all legends to different teams.

It seems that the roster problem manifests itself when you select the "Legends Showcase" nav option when you have unsaved roster changes.

If you are editing your roster in any fashion and then decide that you want to play the DLC, just select the 'Home' option (where the roster will save) before entering the DLC and the problem won't occur.

We'll address in the next patch.

Played some more this morning with the quick match online. I was so fun to do the Dream Shake with Hakeem online. I think I went 10-12 with 25 pt and the game saving block.
For me the online is worth $10. Fun little ride.

'Team-Up' is not available online though correct? Only 1 v. 1?

I have been looking at some of the current and legend players and comparing their default ratings/tendencies with the DLC's, and there are subtle differences. Just letting you guys know that it looks like 2K took time to adjust these things for the DLC. For those of who had the "roster glitch," all those "duplicated" players are actually the original roster version and the DLC version. Just something to think about.

By the way, new Legends were uploaded to 2KShare last night. (see roster forum). In case you don't want to go through the trouble…
