Legendary NBA teams will be making an appearance in NBA 2K12, but developer 2K Sports has chosen not to allow players to use them in online matches. It seems that feature may be added post-launch, however.

Gaming news blog PastaPadre reports that someone who, for some reason or another, already has a copy of NBA 2K12 recently tweeted the image below. It shows a downloadable add-on called Legends Showcase which will allegedly let players "play online with the Legendary Teams from NBA's Greatest." It also lists some of the online modes Legendary players can compete in.

The NBA lockout has kept 2K Sports from updating the player rosters in NBA 2K12. It has also forced 2K to limit promotion for the game since the National Basketball Players Association has forbidden publisher Take-Two Interactive from marketing their likeness during the lockout. That could end up costing them some money if it causes gamers to forgo buying the game. The image gives no indication that the Legends Showcase will be a paid download but PastaPadre reports that it is. If this turns out to be true then it may just be 2K's way of trying to make sure they recoup their expenses somehow.
