    So I'd love to see how the players on these teams look before I jump on the hype train personally...

    Still gotta gun T-Mac once anyway though..... haha
    My hope is that the mere acknowledgement of classic teams by 2K may mean they got at least a little bit of attention. In 2K14 and 2K15, it seems as though they had bigger fish to fry (completely understandable) and more or less just skirted the legend teams onto next gen with little to no extra TLC. Perhaps this is the year they placed at least a little bit of renewed focus on the whole set.

    Or maybe it's just wishful thinking.

      I appreciate you fellas for acknowledging this problem. Everytime I bring up the fact that Michael Jordan does NOT look nor feel like himself in 2k14-15, people seem to breeze over it. I pray that they touched up the legends this year (not only physically but playing wise as well).

        One of my pet peeves with respect to classic teams is that they play nothing like the players/teams they're trying to replicate.

        My big stickler in sports games is signature play. I don't need motion capturing for every player in history but at least try to get these amazing HOF'ers shots and moves as close as possible and, whatever you do, do NOT give them generic shooting forms. That totally kills any and all authenticity they were going for.

        Just my dos centavos.

            Now that we know 7 of the teams what do you guys realistically think the last 5 are going to be? My list is:

            04-05 or 06-07 Suns
            05-06 Heat
            02-03 Nets
            An Early 00's Spurs Team
            And either the 00-01 Bucks or the 03-04 Timberwolves

              I agree with u, there might be a 01 kings team because they were in 2k13

                Think they'll skip over the Wade LeBron Bosh 2012 team?

                  I hesitate to call any team they provided a waste, but that Heat squad is still very easy to re-create on one's own. Same jerseys, same court, at least nine players still active, and with their era (the Super Heat era) barely a year removed. As such, I'd rather hope for a slightly more classic team.

                    I don't consider any of these teams "classic" honestly.

                    Maybe the 01 Lakers but other than that retro to me

                      Classic, retro, throwback, old... I tend to use them all as placeholders meaning "teams from the past". The Super Heat will have their throwback day, but I guess barely one year removed is still too fresh for me to want their inclusion over other squads that could bring back extinct courts and memorable-but-no-longer-active players from teams that did something interesting (say, the 2007 Warriors).

                        I'd prefer at least 6 years go by before a team be considered to be included. Unless there is a historic, news-making team put together. An example here would be the "Dream Team" or the Bulls 4th title team being included earlier.

                          Should go with our 05/06 team first, but which Big 3 team we talking about. Our 2012 or 2013 team?

                              I would LOVE to ball with prime McGrady..... but the 2003 Magic are hardly "classic" haha......

                              And then if they manage to get some detail into these teams/players with some sort of resemblance to play style, maybe nail down SOME of the main signature shots etc...... could be the first time I seriously look at retro/classic teams since 2K11/2K12......

                              This ain't a diss either, I think that 2K have done what they've done to date has been MORE than necessary considering a new launch of consoles.

                              But if I can pinch post T-Mac, jab, J or kick to like a Garrity when a double comes with signature salt added......man......Imma have to quit my job haha.....
