2K Sports' long history on this subject earned it the benefit of my doubt, so I didn't think of the third option, which was to separately sell these teams' online availability.
This week, as retail copies went out in advance of review discs, someone with an early copy of the game tweeted a picture of a loading screen advertising a "Legends Showcase" that promised players could in fact take the historic teams onlineâfor a fee. The item is currently unavailable on either console download service, so no one knows how much it will cost.
This is a big deal because, for as long as the lockout holds, NBA 2K12's rosters will remain fixed at their July 1, 2011 state. Not even rookies from the June amateur draft will be available, so it's basically the same as the last roster update for NBA 2K11. While gamers are willing to forgive a game developer pinched by labor strife beyond its control, they take a dimmer view of anything that seems to exploit the situation, even if it's to mitigate losses.
2K Sports could have saved itself some headaches had its business management acted with a little more foresight last year. The label has not been averse to offering premium downloadable content in the past. In 2009, the NBA Draft Combine for NBA 2K10âessentially the first hour of gameplay for the debut of the game's "My Player" career modeâwas sold in August. Everything experienced in it was still available on the discâlaterâif you waited for the retail release. Still, it showed a willingness to offer paid downloadable content in, I thought, a way that served the interests of gamer and publisher equitably.
