Simple, you get Dr. J, Kareem, and several other legends and you do a Classic Games mode recreating 15 Classic NBA games. On top of that, you make the legends teams playable in regular modes once you complete said games. Goddamn I need to get this game. Trailer: Gotta be honest, I'm glad they did this stuff last year and again this year because I'd much rather play as the 95-96 Bulls than the 10-11 Bulls.

Hey! Don't diss the '10-'11 Bulls!!
What I wish they would do is create, either within 2K or a seperate game, what I would call NBA Classics. You take the best classic team from every current city (or old city in the case of New Orleans, Memphis and Oklahoma) and put them in the same game. With a season mode or tourney mode to play.
'96 Bulls '95 Magic Showtime Lakers or old school West, Chamberlain Lakers 80s Celtics or dynasty Celtics
Along with the different styles of play. '96 Bulls vs Showtime Lakers. Or Shaq vs old school Chamberlain Lakers. Great matchups could be had.

I really hope one of the Classic games has the Pacers. Any of the Reggie Miller vs. the Knicks games. I just want Reggie in the game dammit.

Having the video game do a sort of all time classics league would rock. I'll probably be buying this when it comes out, as long as the have the Larry Legend cover at Game Stop

Kinda an update on that: I talked to a guy at GameStop today when I reserved my copy and he said if you tell them which cover you want when you reserve, they'll hold the one you want if they get it in.

That's pretty awesome... I would love using a Russell Celtics team in Franchise mode.. but even if not, just having all those guys in the game is fantastic.

That 94-95 Knicks/Magics game better damn well unlock 90s Shaq too or I'm gonna punch everyone who worked on that game in the stomach.

IGN's video review, and I can only think of five words to describe how I feel about this game: I need this game NOW.

Just downloaded the demo but didn't get a chance to play it yet. I'm far more amped for this game than I was for 2K11, which is saying a lot.

Nice, but why the Hell is Patrick Ewing shooting a three?

No clue, Havoc. Just got home with my copy of the game. They didn't have Magic or Bird covers so I had to get the one with Jordan. Gonna get something to eat and then start playing. I liked what little of the demo I played, probably gonna wait for some good sliders to come out before I go into The Association with the 94-95 Magic.
