Destructoid has posted their NBA 2K12 hands-on preview. It looks like you can use any player in the NBA and use him in the Create a Legend mode.

Having the option to jump to the next key game really opens the door for My Player to be NBA 2K12's mode of choice. It takes all the great action of the regular game and boils it down into a condensed 10-to-15 game personal experience. And if creating a rookie from scratch isn't for you, there's always the Create A Legend mode that does practically the same thing with any player in the game.
No we will just be player locked into the player we choose....
That's.. odd though don't you think? I mean we can already go into a game and lock ourselves to a player. There's not THAT much difference besides all the MP stuff. I dunno, I just think it'd be cool to have every player as a rookie to start off. I guess I could just change their age before going into the mode.
Penny Hardaway. Give him the career he should've had
Fair warning, my little brother created his own Penny Hardaway in 2K11 for My Player mode. Demanded a trade to Orlando and everything. However, his My Player has succumbed to injury five times already. After the first two times, he used all his skill points to juice up the durability attribute. Even still, the injuries just keep rolling in. Penny might be cursed.
I think I'll play both My Player and Create a Legend A LOT probably MP as a 6'8" SF and CAL as Psycho T. The way this game is looking 2K might be getting my money again this year.

Wait I'm confused...so does that mean for create a Legend you can use a player from the beginning of his career or from the current point in their career?
I believe it's from the current point in their career on but we'll find out for sure Wednesday.
