Re: Running List of Classic Teams That Could Be Added Featuring Players Already In Ga

I really can't wait until they announce more legends for myTeam 2k15, so I can think of some more teams to add to this list.

Re: Running List of Classic Teams That Could Be Added Featuring Players Already In Ga

On 2k14. Are we going to be able to create players and add them to teams?

Will 2kshare be available? To download players and rosters?

If only Derrick Coleman agree to have his license used since Kenny Anderson (2k12 showcase) and Drazen Petrovic (91 Blazers) are already in the game.

I've been thinking there is an opportunity for 2K to please the consumers (and make some money off micro transactions) by making different versions of the aging legends available.

I, speaking only for myself at the moment, would definitely purchase legend packs for use in creating rosters. Personally, I am against micro transactions when they are required to enable or improve key aspects of gameplay, however I think this would fall nicely into the category of cosmetics and extras where they are less controversial, but possibly with the money to some people.

e.g., the Seven Seconds or Less Suns legend package. Includes rookie Stoudemire and peak Stoudemire, rookie Marion and peak Marion, rookie Nash, and dual MVP Nash. $2.00.

Totally hypothetical, of course, so the price and details may be way off. But the point is that I'll be setting up a roster for a MyGM or MyLeague and I'll think something like: "How cool would it be if I had peak Steve Nash to add to this team?" And there are a ton of players I would totally pay, in order to turn back the clock on.

I recognize that with the ability (which I love) to modify player birthdates that I could theoretically do it for myself, but I know that I wouldn't do as good a job recreating the appropriate ratings and making them play like themselves as Beds would. Just as importantly, I can't make them look like the real thing. I mean, you can't have MVP Steve Nash without that floppy, disgusting mop he wore on his head. And Vinsanity Vince Carter just looks so different than grizzled, veteran Vince Carter.

Anyway, that's my two cents...

Re: Running List of Classic Teams That Could Be Added Featuring Players Already In Ga

1973-1974 Lakers: Connie Hawkins (2k12 showcase), West, Goodrich, Counts (65 Celtics), Bridges (71 Hawks )

I did not add this team because there were already two much better Lakers team from this era already included in 2K ('72 and '71). Did you have a particular reason for this team's recommendation?

Since 2k15 has gone gold here is another team that I think could make this list

1994 Orlando Magic
Shaquille O'Neal
Anfernee Hardaway
Nick Anderson
Dennis Scott
Jeff Turner
Scott Skilles (2k13 Coach)
Donald Royal
Anthony Bowie
Tree Rollins

I created a second tier to the original post for teams that are a year removed from a team already included in 2K or feature a near identical roster. This team has been added to that list.

1988-89 Cleveland Cavaliers - won 57 games, swept the '89 Bulls (6-0) during the season before "the shot" took place.
Mark Price
Brad Daugherty
Craig Ehlo
Larry Nance
Ron Harper ('96 Bulls)
Tree Rollins
Hot Rod Williams

Were the Cavs still in 2K14? I recall them being a sort of "extra" classic in 2K12 but I don't remember if they stuck around in the other iterations.

Otherwise, numerous additions and alterations have been made to post #1, including the addition of the 1996 Houston Rockets, mostly because I think it's a shame this court no longer digitally exists outside of personal computer modifications:
