NBA 2K16 Adds '00-'01 Lakers & '03-'04 Pistons to the List of Classic Teams

[syk_skillz]

I'm mostly excited to be able to play as Ben and Sheed in MyTeam. Gonna love swatting them shots and collecting them rebounds Lol. Would be great if when Sheed fouls someone and they miss a free throw we hear "BALL DONT LIE!" and have the Gong for when Big Ben blocks a shot or scores.

Just responding to the guy who was making guesses that they're matching teams up by the season. I don't think that's what they're doing though it's probably just coincidence. There's other teams that would make it before those Bucks and Kings teams. Even though I'd love to see Jason Williams era Kings.

Truly hoping one of the following Cavaliers teams is featured at some point 2007 or 2009

All shaping up to be a good selection, despite the fact I'm more of an 80's/90's man myself, but still am looking forward to the new additions, especially T-mac and Carter!!

That said, (Yeah, I'm gonna be that guy) It'll REALLY take away from the immersion again if they haven't fixed the cyberface authenticity (if PC modders can do it, 2k can do it, there should be no excuse) and the god awful uniforms (Skin tight, and terrible logo/number placement)

We all know they can't scan the legends faces, but the below picture should illustrate what can be achieved without that technology. There shouldn't be an excuse in my eyes.

Who is that on the right, because that's a blue and yellow shirt?

While I agree since they have way better tools and resources, you have to remember they have time constraints. I thought about this myself and a modder can take as much time as needed to get a face "just right" while a game artist would need to pump out a number of faces/art files in a certain time limit. That takes away from quality.

To be fair, they've had more than a year now with next-gen technology and I'm sure getting a face right that was solid on old-gen, is not that hard to copy and polish it. I understand they cannot have the same detail as new players, but at least get them right like in 2k12. Also they should really look at the teams they chose and have players look like themselves back then, not when they retired!

It's Jordan playing for the nuggets. An absolute terrible face/player model on ps4. You'd think of all players they'd focus on getting right, it'd be Mike.
