lol thats not true man. People can be scumbags online so I can see why some may stay away from it.
I do feel like 2K favors offline more because the OS community favors offline more. It sucks for us online guys. 2K really needs to start taking strides to greater online achievement because if they haven't noticed yet...we will soon be literally living our lives online.

I have no idea why they would do this as a thought out decision, It has to be a legal issue or something.

seriously i think tos violator made a point here
why wouldn't legends be available online if it wasn't for that roster incompatibility?
wouldn't legends be available online if all teams were unlocked out of the box?
if yes, was it really worth it making a new mode out of it instead of just having them as part of the original roster?
if u guys see any other reasons why we can't use them online, i'd be glad to read it, but for now this 1 is what makes the more sense imo

still has nothing to do with "bad PR"
Was it really worth making a new mode out it? LOL. Ask the all the people excited about the mode....see 2k11's sales.

Doesn't bother me seeing as I don't play online unless I'm playing with my crew. I understand others possible frustrations; but this doesn't phase me one bit. I will enjoy the hell out of the NBA greatest mode, association mode, my player mode, creating a legend mode and training camp.....2 more Saturday's to go!!!!!

@24th when i say "was it really worth it...." of course legends are worth the money 2k gonna get, but.. couldn't have they make the same promo for legends just by putting them in the regular roster? with no specific mode?
@NYK yeah i guess u're right, i never played such games but i heard about some (COD, AC brotherhood) where high level gamers have more weapons online than low level ones... so i guess u're right... so ...
why the **** legends ain't available online??? :' (

Is it too late to hope for an online classic teams lobby atleast? :/ I really wanted to use the 02 kings online...
Fight Night Champion allowed you to use unlockable fighters online...
Retro fighters like young George Foreman etc, Just sayin..

I don't think some of you get it quite frankly. This isn't nitpicking or complaining...a highly touted feature such as this should be available for both OFFLINE and ONLINE players. It's kind of a big deal.
I play OFFLINE 90% of the time - but truth be told I am extremely dissapointed. This was the type of thing that would have got me to play ONLINE much more. This is a missed opportunity for 2K.

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.

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.

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.
