I'm hooked. Hyped. Ready to cheese Dr. J's dunks and Kareem's skyhooks. Add Olajuwon to the mix and it's a dealmaker for me.

I figured they were referring to the game itself, so I was certainly faked out.

Great to see more historical content, with or without updated 2012 season rosters at launch (which of course depends on the lockout being resolved in time). Sounds like they're going all out on the details with the historical presentation which is awesome, the custom commentary in the Jordan Challenge last year was a nice touch and this should be even better. More challenges via DLC seems like a welcome add-on, too.

Not really, it would just have to have significant depth to make it great.

Really the all-time teams should be in the game every year, it shouldn't be the main feature of the game. I know the presentation & commentary & all that will be a great hook.

And hey, knowing me I'll still pick the game up on the day it's released like every other year :lol:

"•"More to come" on DLC"
To hell with that noise. Outside of Barkley's Suns, the 90's Supersonics, Ewing's Knicks, and the lockout Spurs, there aren't any other un-announced teams that I'd be willing to pay for. And I play using retro rosters almost exclusively.
No offence to Mitch Richmond, Danny Manning or Derrick Coleman, but I think I'll continue adding my own retro teams rather than spend actual money for retro Kings, Clippers or Nets rosters. (edited to add:)Not that 2k would add those teams, but those are teams I wouldn't mind if I didn't have to pay for them. Same as the Run TMC Warriors that are supposedly a pre-order bonus.

Re: Add Dr J to the Bird/Magic/Jordan "Greatest" Challenge

I believe there are 2 preorder teams, 01 Kings and Run TMC Warriors, so that could be the DLC in question.

I love 2001 Kings. Best team of the decade.

Sh*t just when I thought oh ill still be playing 2k11 after this comes out :lol: not now this looks incredible but I really wish the designers for the colors knew what the hell they were doing,
I see Jordan and the Bulls still wearing pink instead of red :facepalm2: I don't see how anyone over at that place doesn't notice that and say something in the past years I mean they obviously play it.
Come on 2K if patchers can fix this so can you

Is it really, though? I think it has something to with Windows/monitors/graphics color profiles, etc that causes the pinkish color versus what it really looks like to our eyes. Print that out in color.

i throw this in with the same discussion about the Laker's purple actually being blue....it's all lighting, something that isn't properly represented in the game.

Just imagine all the countless things people can make now with the REDitor coming out. I can't wait for Portlandblazer and mkharsh's retro rosters. I love you 2k

I'm pumped for everything, but there needs to be lasting appeal to the new "Greatest" mode. I need to wanna play through it several times.

"I'm pumped for everything, but there needs to be lasting appeal to the new "Greatest" mode. I need to wanna play through it several times."

I want to play against Jordan's Bulls, and occasionally have Jordan drop 50+ on me. If superstars play like superstars, that would be awesome.
