Running List of Classic Teams That Could Be Added Featuring Players Already In Game

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

Am I the only one who thinks a free agent pool of legends would be better? But only if they give us a full create-a-team mode, where we can use real NBA logos, jerseys, courts etc.

I do not think it'd by better at all. However, I do believe it'd be a very nice supplement. NHL 2K used to have create-a-team with classic logos the user's disposal. Something like that, combined with the ability to assign pre-created jerseys to any team (kind of like how MyTeam allows you to pick your jerseys) could open things up, alongside a College Hoops-like court editor (and a classic free agent category).

They are listening. I wonder what the 7 remaining teams are. Thank you 2k. Keep up the good work and make us all proud.

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

I'm getting kind of worried. I've wanted an old Suns team forever now. Assuming Barkley doesn't sign on (we all know it's not going to happen), they still have enough players locked up in myteam to create a pre-Barkley Suns squad. But I'm starting to doubt it with 5 of the 12 teams coming from 2000 and up thus far.

I hope they sprinkle in a couple of 80s and\or 90s teams into the mix,and not just all 2000s teams. Or at least a dlc content would be greatly appreciated .I dont think none of us would have a problem of opening our wallets for extra classics.

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

I should add that I am glad they are adding any new teams at all. I don't want to seem ungrateful.

It appears as though seven teams from our initial list on Page 1 made the cut:

2000 Raptors accessories and hair/facial appearance reference:

The purple road jerseys for the 2000 Raptors should read "TORONTO" across the chest, not "RAPTORS". The current retro purples included in 2K are the non-2000 version, which shows "RAPTORS". That switch didn't occur until 2003.

Not bad.
