Ronnie just stated on Twitter that the video will not in fact be released today but some time early next week.

Amazing. Pumped the late 90's Spurs are in, they were the beginning of my love for basketball

1989 Bad Boys...kicking MJ's butt. Microwave all day long!

# 84 maclarry82 @ 08/19/11 07:23 PM

95 magic I'm cool with that but 2k should have Nike air Max penny 1's on.... and shaq should have shaqtosis on also...

# 85 laroche360 @ 08/19/11 07:24 PM

man oh man 2k is definetly not playing..what re they gonna do for 2k13 and forward?i really appreciate that 2k went all the way with the benches..so we won�t have to create too many players,but they also need to improve the nba today segment, we were supposed to c highlights and scores within the franchise during the halftime show,we quickly found out, that it only worked with real nba games..(this is absolutely not what was promised)it should work on association or on season mode....with so many great teams,it�s gonna be very difficult to pick some if u go to association mode, her�s how i would divise them:
atlantic :
celtics 85-86
knicks 94-95
sixers 84-85
-----------
----------

central :
bulls 95-96
knicks 71-72
bucks 70-71
detroit 88-89
cleveland 89-90

southeast:
Hornets 92-93
hawks 70-71
orlando 93-94
atlanta 85-86
celtics 64-65

northwest :
seattle 95-96
denver 93.94
blazers 90-91
utah 97-98
...............

pacific :
lakers 86-87
warriors 90-91
kings 2001-2002
----------------
......................

southwest :
spurs 1997-1998
rockets 93-94
lakers 71-72
....................
....................

the ----- spaces means i don�t know yet, any ideas ????

# 86 SwagDoc101 @ 08/19/11 08:11 PM

1st of all Thank you 2K better and better year after year...i wish oct 4 was tomorrow...
i couldnt help but to start imagining what i might see in the game after reading this,"There are many, many more era-specific details we have put into the NBA�s Greatest, but in the interest of not spoiling future developer insights, I�ll let those details be�for now." now just imagine in the 90s era Shaq BRINGING THE HOUSE DOWN by collapsing the entire rim and backboard stature down...or in the 70s chocolate thunder shattering the glass and MAKING IT RAIN on a defenders head... Fn awesome if that was added

Good thing I read this official Insight. I would have thought Barkley is in the game because according to CBSSports, Barkley WILL be in the game.

Quote:


	... Barkley and other top-50 players like Elgin Baylor, Shaquille O'Neal, Pete Maravich, Clyde Drexler, David Robinson, Earl Monroe and Walt Frazier will be available as players on the opposing teams facing off against the legends in a series of "NBA's Greatest" rivalry games. Barkley will appear as a member of Dr. J's 76ers and a young O'Neal will be on the 1994-1995 Orlando Magic...

2K it would help if you at least add the fade to penny hardaway so he want look so old

# 91 maclarry82 @ 08/19/11 09:18 PM

Agree with that he needs to look younger and slim... that's the 95 penny...

# 92 Goffs @ 08/19/11 09:31 PM

if they have Penny looking old then that means we are going to get the fat Kemp player model like last year

# 93 Gramps91 @ 08/19/11 09:34 PM

Mugsy Bouges YEA!

lets hope he still will be hidden on the disc like he has been the last 2 years....

as of know he can be used on the 360 with a mod just using hex editor or Reditor tool.

I think back in 2k5 or 2k6 had chuck taylors in the game.

Well lets hope there still might be a chance, lst early shor jordan vs portland had Duckworth in the pic then the final cut of the game not active but hidden on the disc. Maybe it will be the same thing with Barkley maybe they were in talks but the broke off.

Its the same penny that has been hidden on the disc for the last 2 years. Not sure if that his last build from 2k8 or classic team build. Then smaller head with a little short fade flat top...

# 95 thefranchise03 @ 08/19/11 09:59 PM

Im just happy the Cavs are still in, even if you have to unlock them.

# 96 qpc123 @ 08/19/11 10:10 PM

Can't believe I missed it the first read through but the 84-85 Bucks and 89-90 Cavs team will have this guy...

Add in Sam Cassell and Jeff Hornacek and we're on our way to great NBA Ugliest Team really a Popeye Jones though.

# 97 green94 @ 08/19/11 10:14 PM

Wow, just wow.

My biggest gripe last year was the lack of depth on the benches, it appears that has been fixed!

# 98 hokupguy @ 08/19/11 10:26 PM

Just noticed the 94-95, 91-92, 96-97 bulls, 96-97 jazz, 89-90 hawks didnt make it back. As unlockable, I hope this wasnt to keep enough room for the lame 2k ,VC and etc teams on the disc....

I think we're getting more than enough that we don't need those teams. We're getting early 90's Cavs, 97-98 Bulls, amongst others as unlockablea, wr don't really need 96-97 bulls too.

Only real difference between 95-96 and 96-97 Bulls was that 96-97 team Brian Williams (Bison Dele) for the playoffs which gave them an offensive post presence off the bench. Other than that it's just a matter of swapping out old broke down James Edwards for old broke down Robert Parish.
