It's safe to say that sooner or later, everything is going to be based off of internet. Look at Steam, it is an entire library of games I can play through my internet connection, some even multiplayer. No matter how much you fight it, Online is going to be the wave of the future. Internet connections are going to replace telephone lines, and eventually everyone except farmers are going to be on high speed connections. So do all your paying customers a favor and get on board. Let's be honest, I'm still going to buy your game because of the hard work you put into other areas (and you're also the only game in town - literally). But even though EA is way behind you all right now for Basketball games, we can all hear their footsteps in the distance. And the one area in which they've always had you beat is devoting resources to their online components. I hope for your sake you get on board - but right now your opponent is on the ground and you all are basically standing over him leaving your groin wide open. That is all.

From what I've seen so far from 2K's "Servers", I wouldn't be surprised if the servers didn't work up to par until 2K14!

I play almost exclusively OFFLINE, I like doing Association and My Player, so I don't really care about this. Online is okay, but I'll leave my online playing to Battlefield and COD.

This is BULL. They could of made it where we can use them unranked games. No excuse 2K.

Son of a mother duck.

not every player on the teams is rated high, people think just because they are "historic" teams they are unstoppable. I dont think luc longley will be rated 90 anytime soon

Look unless your a developer, then you don't know the actual reason to why the classic teams won't be available online. To many people on this site tend to think they know it all, must most of the time are dead wrong. Let's stop crying and let the Dev's give us the reason for this issue.

24th is correct. For a certain segment of folks here, if they want X in the game, then it is automatically in their minds something that is easy to implement. If it isn't done, then the developers are lazy, dumb, holding back for next year, or biased against those gamers.

Also the whole "Online is the future, Offline is obsolete" argument may be true... in 5 or 10 years, maybe. Even here, on a online message board, online has been crushed by offline in every poll we've ever had. Even when everything is server/cloud based I still believe that most people are going to choose to play by themselves. We have a lot of good guys here, but IMO, a large percentage of people who are drawn to online play are straight up Delta Bravos.

For all of you who say this is fine because you don't play online anyhow....

How would you feel if they came out and said Legend Teams would ONLY be available ONLINE. Wouldn't you feel a little disappointed that after being hyped up for all these great teams, that these teams won't be available in any mode you have any interest in? This is the way a lot of people feel...or at least me.
