kareem should allow 2k to name him as lew alcindor in dis 1971 bucks team. i mean he has another team with da classic lakers with his current abdul-jabbar name already. we all know he was da great lew alcindor back then so this should be his name in this team

It's his decision, not 2K's. He changed his name almost 40 years ago because he didn't want to be known as Lew Alcindor anymore.

if that is da case then i will change his bucks name myself in da pc version of the game. i just find it hard to accept a 1971 bucks lew alcindor player with an abdul-jabbar name on his jersey. its just not right.

I know you're going to use some sort of a roster editor to change his name on a PC. Can you do the same thing on PS3? I've asked this before in this thread but was left unanswered.

i know nuthin about nba 2k on ps3. all i hear about it is consistently having nba 2k games ported from an xbox 360. thats why man i stick to pc forever.

I have made the same assumption. I haven't even thought twice about it. I'd be disappointed if this is how it really was, but I really kind of just assumed these were some screens quickly thrown together a while ago with the mere purpose of showing off some matchups.

It kind of reminds me of some of the Jordan inaccuracies we saw in screenshots before release in 2K11 (the purple tongue, possibly a calf sleeve issue). The art was still a work in progress as those 2K11 Jordan screens were released.
