Is it possible with this DLC to change or edit the playbooks of the Classic Teams?????

Just played 21 and got played. Had 20 points, shot a jumper from the baseline and it went in. The next scene is me shooting free throws and I now have 13 points. WTF?

ILLmatic: Thats how 21 works. You gotta get exactly 21 or you go down. Check settings and turn off "exactly 21" or something if its there

I've been wondering how long it would take for this argument to come up. I always played '21' by one set of rules growing up. Once I started college and would play against guys form different areas of the country everyone had different rules regarding ending on '21', tips, and whatnot. As far as I can tell '21' can be a very game from the one you grew-up playing depending on who makes the rules.

I think it's freezing because of the shoes. Every time I click on the LeBron Miami Edition my game freezes(crash)

# 89 breakitdown @ 11/29/11 06:15 PM

It's not worth the money, the gameplay is the same, cell shade is ****, I did 2v2 challenge to unlock players for create a legend mode, it didn't work and you cant use any of the new legends in the main game. The only reason why someone would download this would be to edit the classic roster and that's not worth paying $10. Especially when we've had these modes free in every other previous title.
I want my money back not because I need it but because 2k doesn't deserve it.

# 90 Virtualc @ 11/29/11 06:31 PM

hey i dl it on the ps3 but now my 2k just freezes happen to anyone else?

For some reason my game was on auto save and when I backed out of DLC mode, all the DLC players were on the regular rosters along with duplicate current players. All free agents were gone, CAPS were gone, and players such as Bob McAdoo were the only player on their respective teams (i.e. the Buffalo Braves.). Players could be traded off. For example I moved Wes Unseld to the current wizards and was able to play. Did the same for Barry. However, I lost all my caps (thankfully I had them uploaded) and...here is the real issue...whenever I tried to scroll through the team selection screen and came to the "one player teams" it would freeze. Also froze up when I tried to put Braves or Royals in season mode. Bottom line it's a major glitch, but I hope they let us use the new legends in the main game. The trading and editing of classic teams were intact.

Once I got to my 4th opponent I kind of got bored and seemed tedious to complete. Does anybody know how many teams we need to beat in order to complete the 2 vs 2 challenge and also the 3 on 3 challenge?

For the 3-on-3 Era Challenge, you must play two teams from each decade beginning in the 60's and ending in the 2010's. I believe that works out to 12 teams.

For the 2-on-2 Teammate Challenge, I think you play every other duo once. I can't remember how many their were, but it's as many as you had to choose from when selecting your team. I think it's 14 or 15.

You may want to double check the "Bonus Features" tab in the DLC, but I think I had to win the 3-on-3 Era Challenge in order to unlock those guys. The first thing I did when I bought the DLC was play a pickup game, where I was only able to select classic legends. I believe once I finished the aforementioned 3-on-3, all those other guys became available ('03 Kobe, '02 Cassell, '01 Vince, '03 T-Mac, '00 Jalen, etc.).

However, im finding the 2 on 2 and 3 on 3 challenges offline are surprisingly addictive..I had a heck of a time trying to defeat the Zo-LJ combo

Good call. I've been a little bummed about the apparent inability to use these new legends in the regular game. However, it's still awesome just being able to use them at all. Not to mention, the regular game already has hundreds of classic players already. I mean, I'd still love to be able to have the new guys in the main game, but I'm just saying I definitely appreciate what they've done with all these legends. Using players like Dee Brown, Sleepy Floyd, and Baron Davis is just as interesting to me as using Wilt, Bill and Magic.

I don't know if this happened to anyone else but this DLC corrupted ALL my roster files! I can no longer access any of them. I had to start all over and now I lost the Kings and Warriors and can't figure out how to get them back. This is horrible. The cell-shading is horrible. Everything about it is horrible! Anyone have a time machine so I can go back 4 hours and NOT purchase this?

I set this to download from my computer and now that I'm home I'm affraid to turn on my 2k. Is there any trick to getting around the corrupt files yet?

I don't think anyone knows what does it, or doesn't do it. I bought the DLC and added CAPs to legend teams, played the mode for a few hours and didn't have any corruption issues, but clearly others did. I do not have auto-save on, perhaps that is part of it for the others.
