    Confirmed Classic Teams for NBA 2k16

    Fun fact: I didn't know this until I just Wiki'd him a moment ago, but Bill Walton actually went over four years without losing a basketball game, spanning from the middle of his junior year in high school all the way to the middle of his senior year in college.

    Yeah, I hear you man. You're right. I just have a problem with his inclusion in so many levels. His pro career was nowhere near worth mentioning with the 50 greatest. He got SO much run because of John Wooden and his loaded UCLA teams, I just want to puke when I hear his name. But that's just me being a jerk I guess.

    College. Yes. Pro? Good, but FAR from stud. Sorry. No. But the same can be said of Ralph Sampson then. Hell, I would say both of them were the most overrated pro players of all time.



    So, when does Glenn Robinson go in? I kid!!

      For me, my personal preference is, if they can't get better likenesses for many of the players, at least for the top players on these classic teams, I can't see myself playing with these teams often.

      Last year in 2k15, MJ's likeness was so off -- not to mention the Bulls jerseys and their awkward fit -- just killed it for me. And classic teams was something I utilized greatly in the past. NBA 2K11's likenesses of MJ were not only great for 2010, but they were better than 2k15's on way more powerful consoles. Because of this, last year I mostly played as myself in MyCareer after spending endless hours of getting my likeness as close to myself as possible (didn't care spending $60 for a PS4 camera that I'd never use besides for 2k, which makes me happy that Live will enable you to scan your face just using your cell phone).

      So I'm hoping the graphics will be improved for these teams ...

          Antonio Davis is a MUST for the 99-00 Raps. The only other guy needed is Dee Brown. He was actually the starting point guard for that team for the majority of that season (not Muggsey).

            Are you guys talking about the same Bill Walton? The one I know is a top 10 center and one of the best passing big men of all time. The only people who could match/surpass his statline in his prime was Kareem and.... yeah just Kareem.

              It's my opinion and my preference. Spoiled, because I'm no longer blown away by the graphics? Get over yourself, not everyone feels the same. Again, another "You STFU and you take what 2k gives ya" post

                Considering you're more of an NBA Live fan you can't blame people for thinking you're trolling. Just saying.

                And he's right. So there's that too.

                  Let's see, I've owned NBA 2K, 2K1, 2K2, 2K5, 2K11, 2K12, 2K13, 2K14, 2K15 ... and last year I just bought Live 15. But, OK, I'm trolling the NBA 2K franchise and it's rabid cult-ish fans.

                  And he's right about what? Being spoiled for not liking the likenesses of my all-time favorites MJ & Pip and others? All I said was I don't find myself playing with these classic teams often if the graphics aren't to my liking. I didn't say the game would suck. I alluded to playing with current day teams and other modes instead. But perhaps he's right, I have to play this game a certain way, to your liking, or I'm just being a spoiled unappreciative brat

                  Oh, and how much is 2K Sports paying you for your loyalty again? for your praise of all things 2K? Can I get on that contract, too?

                    You think 22/10/3/2/1 or 18/15/3 is just easy to come by? Pretty incredible considering that Ralph played with the Dream.

                        He's bang on the money. The legend teams have graphically taken a nose dive since 2k11. There should be zero excuse for this as we've moved on to more powerful systems now. It's not trolling, or being spoilt, it is what it is. Proof right below:

                          Well, I'm not going to touch on whether I think you troll 2K or not. That's you. I will say that owning NBA 2K11 on isn't proof of the contrary.

                          Exactly. I'm right about people being spoiled. Did you even bother to ask me if I agreed with you? Why I said "we" are spoiled? Because I do. And I have a hard time playing with classic teams as well. But, I am man enough to ADMIT that I'm spoiled.

                          I didn't imply otherwise.

                            And I alluded, in regards to my Bulls, it wasn't just the facial likenesses that regressed, they screwed up the uniforms, too. Just look at the how the striping/trimming on the Bulls uni's, and how thin/skinny they became on next-gen. No excuse for that. Especially considering the Bulls primary home & away uniforms haven't had any big changes since, what, 1986-87? They could have gotten away with slapping the current Bulls uni's on the classic teams rather bringing over those jacked ports from last-gen. And, man do MJ's eyes look all jacked up in next-gen. Like I said I didn't spend much time playing with these teams.

                              That was deep. Really great counter-points. At which point are 2K fans considered a troll?

                              I am only considered a troll here because I present opposing opinions on a site with predominantly 2K fans. But whatever. You should feel better about your opinions knowing you will receive a ton of 'likes' from your brethren

                                Actually, the one thing I do disagree with:

                                the classic players haven't gotten worse per se. The rest of the NBA players have gotten SO much better, that, in comparison, the classics look worse. And the fact that the same models that were in 2K11, were copied and not updated fully to the new rendering engine makes them take a visual step backwards. That's the problem.

                                But as long as you can scan current players, the classic players will always look worse in comparison.

                                The other thing is that even though I may have a hard time playing with the classic teams, I'm STILL going to play them. It's all about gameplay with me. And when you're in gameplay, you aren't even paying that much attention to how exact or not the likenesses are.

                                So, bring on MORE of the classic teams and make them play like they did back in the day. The one thing you can't argue - the classic teams in today's games look 1000% times better than they ever did. Have you seen the basketball games when Jordan was playing? NONE of them even look remotely close to what they do today. I look forward to throwing up sky-hooks with the BEST looking Kareem ever in a video game. Even if it's not perfect, it's the better than ever - save for a nod to 2K11 for Jordan, of course.
