    I play 10 minute quarters and rebounding is really bad. For every 1 rebound I get, they get 10. I think Yao's rpg is something like 3-4.

    you can set the quarter length for simulated games too
    I usually play 6 minute quarters while simulated games have 8 minute quarters. The top scorers have around 16-22ppg so it's not that hard to lead the league in scoring and it's not that easy too

    So what is the standard time for quarters? 6? 10?

    Download sliders from people that go to operationsports.com
    They have perfected sliders, or at least have gotten close.
    Most sliders there have a recommended 8-10 minute quarters.

    Cover will be revealed within half an hour. Say it's the best sports cover ever.

    It has to be some nekkid lesbian photo with Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Christina Hendricks, and Natalie Portman. At the least.

    I simply don't see how an NBA player's photo would cause so much hype.

    Really tough decision which one to buy, all look awesome.
    They will also announce new features which will reveal why MJ, Larry and Magic are on the cover.

    I just started an Association Mode as the Houston Rockets, and now my roster is like this after many many trades, (and much more trade attempts :p)

    Rondo
    Fernandez
    Batum
    Aldridge
    Yao

    Perkins
    Matthews
    Henderson
    Cunningham
    Maynor

    Is that better than the original Rockets roster, or worse?

    My lineup is extremely similar to the Dallas lineup that just won the 'ship. All-Star PG, weaker wings who can shoot the lights out from 3 but not much else, and 2 Elite Big Men. Now I just have to get a Shawn Marion and I should be good. And oh I don't have any more draft picks for next year as I traded them to get Rondo.

    Jordan Returns: 2K Sports Announces
    Trio of NBA® 2K12 Covers Featuring Three NBA Icons

    Michael Jordan, joined by Larry Bird and Magic Johnson,
    to grace three unique artistic covers in celebration of NBA legacy

    New York, NY – July 21, 2011 – 2K Sports announced today that NBA® 2K12, the next installment of the top-rated and best-selling NBA video game simulation franchise*, will offer three separate covers for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft featuring three of the NBA’s greatest legends of all time, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

    The new stylized NBA 2K12 covers are a unique, one-time departure from the traditional 2K Sports brand artwork, and will spotlight each legendary athlete on his famous team: the Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, and Los Angeles Lakers. The covers featuring Bird and Johnson will be available at launch in a limited quantity.

    A new feat in sports gaming, this three-part collection extends the strong legacy established by NBA 2K11, which has sold-in more than 5 million units worldwide and garnered over 20 video game accolades, including 14 ‘Sports Game of the Year’ honors.

    “Bringing Michael Jordan to the virtual hardwood last year was a huge success for NBA 2K11; however, we didn’t want to stop there,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “We’re bringing ‘His Airness’ back to the NBA 2K franchise as part of a multi-year extended partnership, along with two other legendary icons – Larry Bird and Magic Johnson – for a special cover athlete collection representing the NBA’s greatest heroes.”

    The unprecedented, stylized artwork covers underscore 2K Sports’ passion for bringing fans authentic NBA basketball across generations, while celebrating the legacy of legendary hoops athletes, past and present.

    The cover artwork for NBA 2K12 was created by Adam Larson of Adam&Co. Larson has created dynamic artwork for galleries, magazines and various product advertising campaigns. His work has received numerous honors, including the Kelly Awards, Cannes Lions, Clio Awards, and two primetime Emmy nominations

    NBA 2K12 can now be pre-ordered from leading video game retailers nationwide, and will be available on October 4, 2011, for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360, Wii™ system, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system and Windows PC.

    I hope they enhance the ability to use legends in franchise. I want to be able to plant a rookie Hakeem on the Rockets in 2011 and play.

    Better than original squad, got good defense, Rondo beastin as PG, Fernandez and Batum bein able to shoot the 3 and run transition. Aldridge and Yao=deadly on both ends. Pick&Rolls with Rondo/Aldridge, uh weee. Bench lookin pretty solid too, good mixture between scoring and D.

    I play 12 minute qtrs but I also set simulated quarter length to 3 mins. MP practically leads the league in everything and I'm only a ~55 rating.

    "Having Michael, having Magic and having Larry Bird involved will tie to the game and to some of the features that we'll be unveiling in a couple of weeks, but that's all I can say right now."

    One dude in the 2kforums has the idea that this could possibly mean a full All-Star weekend. Jordan represents Dunk Contest, Bird 3pt-Contest, Magic Skills Challenge. Would be crazy, waitin for this for years.

    I don't know. It all depends. I play 10-minute quarters armed to the teeth with 3 point shooters and crap defense. I average something in the 120-130s PPG while giving up ~105 PPG. Is it realistic? Definitely not.

    I think for a more realistic score I'd go with 6-8 minutes. Probably closer to 6. And I play the HOF difficulty (I think that's the highest one).

    Honestly though, I've stopped caring about the realistic aspects after I can so easily assemble a 72-10 team while other teams self destruct with stupid trades.

    Thanks for your feedback. :)

    I tried to get Dwyane Wade with anything and everything on the Rockets, but the Heat just would not accept ANYTHING I threw at them. My best offer was Brooks + Lowry + Martin + Patterson, and they still wouldn't accept all that for Wade + vet min fillers. gagh.
