NBA 2K12 Legendary Teams Will Be Playable Online, Via DLC

I hope it's free. We all pay the full price of the game, no need to milk the community. They will get plenty of sales, just like 2k11, possibly more with the lockout looming.

If not, garbage decision on 2k's part. HOPEFULLY, it is free and they just didn't have ample disc space.

Don't kid yourself.

It might just be 2v2 or 3v3 from those legends teams on the blacktop. I hope I'm wrong! But even if we can use the full legend teams in a 5 on 5 game, it seems like we can only do it on this times square court, against other legendary teams.

I don't see why some of you would even think that we won't be able to play a exhibition match, I'm pretty sure we can because it wouldn't even make sense for us to be able to play 2v2 and 3v3 but not a regular 5v5 which I'm pretty sure 2k knows that that is the main thing we want to do.

Never know, EA learned from Wang and maybe Wang picked up a few tricks from EA as well. Hope not though, not really into paying extra for things already on disk. To some of these companies dlc stands for download locked content.

oh well. i guess this is as close as we get to using legends in unranked or ranked games. seems like the controls video is never coming and so much for the online association insight. i didnt preorder 2k but i plan to get it but im sure about to lose focus from the 2k hype machine when battlefield 3 online demo comes out thursday.

You think this is just a thing that EA only do? Please. 2K got wise. They know a lot of their customers would walk on hot coals for them, so why not make 'em?

Uhm, the game doesn't come out for another week.

There are other insights coming.

What's with people having this weird notion that all the insights finish up weeks before the release?

No not at all, but I've been an EA customer since the early 90's all the way to the present. You know like I know EA been nickel and diming us for years now, they're not the only ones but they are the best at it.
