Did you beat the Greatest Mode yet?

I deleted my 2k12 save file off the HD, and it's not showing up for me either anymore....

I assume they are tied together....

# 163 The 24th Letter @ 12/01/11 10:30 AM

Ah crap, hope that doesnt happen to me then lol

Try redownloading

# 164 The 24th Letter @ 12/01/11 10:51 AM

Hmmm I'd make a thread about it for the devs to see....I'm going to re beat the challenges and see if it shows up for myself

# 165 BBallGuru @ 12/01/11 11:02 AM

I'm very please with the Legends Showcase. I absolutely hated the cell shading when the first images & videos were release, and it almost deterred my from purchasing all together, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. I still dislike how it looks, but it doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would while playing.

I completed the 3-on-3 Era Challenge, and thoroughly enjoyed it. 21 and H.O.R.S.E. are pretty much what you'd expect. I'm currently in the middle of the 2-on-2 Teammate Challenge, playing with Shaq & Penny.

I really love the pick-up games, though, as many of my favourite legends were absent from 2K12's NBA's Greatest mode. Being able to run with Fat Lever, David Thompson, Alex English & Kiki Vandeweghe is a dream come true for this Nuggets fan. (I'm still salty a late '80s Nuggets team wasn't included in the initial game)

My 3v3 Era Challenge doesn't work anymore, when the game starts everyone is invisible.

EDIT: nm I got it back by restarting

# 167 The 24th Letter @ 12/01/11 11:30 AM

I didn't make a thread Penny, I was suggesting you make one

# 168 Diddy139 @ 12/01/11 12:18 PM

After seeing a couple post from people saying they were able 2 bring da new legends in the regular game & was posting rosters on the share,but in order 2 use them u had 2 have da DLC purchased. (Or else da players would b invisible) I gave it a shot, da players were there,but invisible. (As they said) I purchased da download & they were all there & visible...

Just to note...Anyone having doubts on whether to purchase or not due 2 the graphics criticism? Let me say & this is just my opinion,but the cell shading is NOT as bad as folks are making it out to be. True it would b better without,but da players are still recognizable so I don't see why folks are makin such a huge fuss...

Time 2 start my fantasy draft wit my new roster pool. Y'all folks b easy!

# 169 The 24th Letter @ 12/01/11 01:35 PM

I'm in the US Penny.. Not sure what's going on....

Can you walk me through what your particular issue is?

You can't see the DLC download option when you go to purchase it, correct? Try and give me as many details as possible. Thanks!

LD, I can't see the DLC now that I have deleted my NBA 2k12 save from my hard drive and have now started from stratch...

Am I right in that I need to complete the challenges first?

Not sure. Try re-downloading the DLC. Let me know what happens.

If you still can't see it, I will pass this forward to the team.

playing online matches with classic teams = greatness!!

am having some of the most fun ive ever had online gaming

# 174 jaywv30 @ 12/01/11 02:31 PM

I absolutely love the cell shade graphics....its kinda like your in some weird NBA comic book...but it is really cool in my opinion. And very fun...I was up until almost 2 am playing it last night.

# 175 nniuqed @ 12/01/11 03:27 PM

Just a random statement...The dlc wasnt too bad in my opinion, it is the cell shading. I think they were going the kid friendly route so I see why they gave it a shot. Thats the main reason I got it , was because I got an 11 year old and I wanted us to have a game in common that we both like alot. And we had a great time for the first couple of hours, and then after a couple hours into it he turns to me and says " dad, can you turn of the cartoon look and make this go back to normal ? " And I was like wow, even an 11 year old is annoyed with the cell shading. The dlc isnt all that bad, its the cell shading thats the issue in my opinion.

How are you doing that?

Going to have to get this tonight.

# 180 Diddy139 @ 12/01/11 06:12 PM

I have a question. I hear alot of folks saying its a glitch that allows you too incorporate the additional 45 players, but if all you have to do is turn off autosave & they automatically go to the free agent list? Is this really a glitch? Or somthin 2k added that they just chose 2 put as an unadvertised bonus?
