That's better than LAST year's MJ cover by a country mile.
Hard to imagine MJ has gotten 2x sports game covers and he's been retired for almost 10 years, and LeBron hasn't got one yet.
[QUOTE]Yeah Larry is a triple double waiting to happen for me in 2K11. It definitely helps to play toward specific strengths (like high post in Dirk's case) as opposed to just general strengths like "shooting".[/QUOTE]
Yea. People will use Ray Allen and take 3s off the dribble as if thats his usual shot these days. Run a quick screen and get a good release he makes the shot like 80% of the time. Dirk doesnt shoot many 3s now. But people keep shooting contested 3s with him. Post up from the elbow. Hes unstoppable. People try to make players fit their style. You gotta use the players as they were designed.

Yeah Dirk's release has been off the past few games. They gave him the same release as KG and neither of theirs are correct. They need to fix Kobe's, Steph Curry's Durant's, Ray Allen's, Brandon Roy's, Wesley Matthews', and Deng's. Those are just a few I can think of.
But you are right about how people play. I love having a realistic game. I hate the way people play online, just turbo-ing up the floor and trying to dunk with LeBron or Wade or Rose.
When I play with Kobe, I post up ALOT, shoot jumpers and just like he does in real life, whenever he gets a defensive rebound I bring the ball up with him and shoot. I try to keep things as real as possible.
Larry's and Magic's cover is horrible imo.
They need to keep retro players out of my games, and especially cover arts.

I have a friend who's a real big NBA fan, from the Chi, only uses the Bulls in this game. Dude rapes the pro hop with D-Rose. I have another friend, who's from Atlanta born and raised(rare lol) and he is a Wade stan. Dude euro steps and step back with Wade all the time. They abuse the moves in the game. I still win most of the time, but its annoying how they wont play the game like its supposed to be played. I dont mind people pushing the tempo and trying to break the rim everytime down with Wade and Bron, that's not that unrealistic at all, you can always push and then bring back and slow it down. I hate when they disregard the fact that its like a two on four and I'm packing the paint and somehow they find fault with the game and start to complain.:rolleyes:
If 2k12 has better defense I'll be on board. It's just incredibly hard to be a great defensive player in 2k games. Now I'm NOT saying that I am not one, because I was in the top 50 in points allowed per game on PS3, but I had to use every trick possible to stop people.I just find it way harder than offense if that makes any sense.

If 2K would just tune the sliders to be realistic, these clowns would be exposed instantly.
Jordan got the best cover.
I agree with T/S, they should have changed the background color for Bird and Magic....it would be much better.
I don't like Bird's cover. They shoulda went with his younger years when he had shaggy hair look. That's being kinda picky i guess, but w/e.

Yeah defense is tricky sometimes because about 95% of the people I've played online play the EXACT same way. Just try to dunk all day with LeBron or Wade. I like to play to my team's strengths and my My Player's strengths.
They need to tone down the effectiveness of turn around jump shots in 2k12. I played against this guy in crew and he literally didn't miss a shot when he did the turn around jumper. He could even shoot out of double teams and still make the shot all of the time. And when the cpu does it, they hardly ever miss either. It doesn't matter who it is. I've even had guys like Kendrick Perkins and Darko Milicic dropping 15+ points on me just from fadeaways alone, no lie. They also shoot out of double teams. I hate when the cpu does that. Shoot out of double teams. Especially in My Player because my teammates almost always miss it when they shoot out of a double team and it's their first instinct to shoot when being doubled for some reason.

I agree. Same with Magic, they should have went with his 80s "Goatee" look as well (his beard combined with his "Magic" nickname just go together). However to be fair, they [I]did[/I] use a "Past His Prime" 35 year old MJ, so I guess 2k is staying consistent.
Can't wait till we have the ability to change beards and hairstyles on [I]every[/I] player, not just the created ones. (96 MJ even rocked a goatee for a few months If I remember correctly).
Edit: Not to mention the ability to change up Rodman's hair color and art design from game to game as well.
Oh, and "Goatee" Scottie Pippen is the Illest (no homo). Need that option in there too.

I'm kind of curious about that one. There's reports the '02 Kings will be one of two teams (the other being the '91 Warriors) available to be unlocked by preordering 2K12. If the '02 Kings are available, I'd have to imagine there might be a classic Lakers team in there somewhere too. Unfortunately, Bryant chopped the hair a little bit by '02, didn't he? Regardless, it'd be awfully cool to re-live that Lakers/Kings matchup.

Yeah he got it cut a little bit after the '02 season started. I'm just tired of him looking like a black alien skinhead in the game :oldlol:

But Magic and Bird's should've used a different background color.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, I didn't do much though. Just changed the color because I felt it didn't look right to have red backdrops behind Magic and Bird.

:applause: Wow, nice work man. You should send those in to 2k, drop 'm in their ideabox (if they have one), or post them on their forums. Much better than the original ones.

I agree, but I think 2K went all red for a reason (kind of). It matches their 2K logo color and the idea was not to confuse consumers too much by offering three different colored versions of the same game (so as not to insinuate there were three different playing versions).
I don't think it'd be that confusing though. I'd much prefer those color schemes above.
[QUOTE=MeLO MvP 15]I'm hoping for Shaq and AI (seperate) versions in a few years. But if they add more to the Jordan Challenge type mode, most likely making it a Historic Challenge Mode... it would just be awesome.[/QUOTE]
im thinkin if bird gets a challenge mode, then we might see the old school 80s rockets in this game. i hope barkley's suns make it in the game also. i havent seen charles barkley in a 2k game since nba 2k6.

Appreciated.
Mostly just an introduction. However, for those interested, the rest of the "Greatest" 15 will be revealed next Friday, alongside a rundown of the mode itself. That will be the first true insight.

No Clyde Drexler? :facepalm
Prime Shaq in 2K would own.
I'm so happy we'll get to use Hakeem as well. They better add a lot more to the post for both offense and defense.
[QUOTE=JaskoX1]No Clyde Drexler? :facepalm[/QUOTE]
Clyde is back in. After appearing with the '92 Trail Blazers in 2K11, it looks as if he may be a part of an earlier Blazers squad this year (judging from the jerseys being used at the 28 sec mark of this video):
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnanXZt2IDY[/url]
Also worth a note, with the appearance of Randy Wittman in the trailer above, it seems the Hawks team featured will also come from a different year than the squad used in 2K11. The best bet is that the '88 Hawks will be used (for the Bird Duel) instead of the '90 team.

Bill Russell and West:bowdown:
I think it should have been the Warriors/76ers Wilt though.
Sounds awesome.
Questions though. At first, I was kind of disappointed to see that there was no Barkley, and that they are using Kareem, Wilt, and Dr. J at the very end of their career. But if the 1971 Bucks are there, doesn't that mean we get Kareem starting from his second year? And if the 1985 Sixers are there, don't we get a rookie Barkley? I was assuming Barkley may have not let them use the rights to this game but they said one change they made to the classic rosters is that they have 10-12 of the players from each roster. Plus if they weren't including Barkley in the game, it wouldn't make much sense to use a mid-30s Dr. J when they could've shown him in his prime. Although it is odd that they don't have a challenge for Barkley.
The reason the age thing bothers me is cause one thing I did in 2K11 is import all the legends into my association mode and this means they wouldn't be as great and they would retire relatively early.
Anybody want to speculate what the ratings will be?
