Glad they got Barkley though, so hopefully we can use him in more than this mode and edit him

Ditto, though GameInformer's tidbit doesn't necessarily get things off on the right foot:

2K has informed us that while Charles Barkley is indeed included in the 1992 Dream Team deal, he will not be appearing in any other historic teams he's played on.

Also, what's the deal with making the Dream Team pre-order exclusive? An extra "Dream Team jersey" I understand. But the actual team itself? Lame sauce.

That's a REALLY weird article.

I was hoping not to have to get the pc version this year in particular but may have to if this is really the case.

Kind of strange how much variety their is in that photo in terms of accuracy. I'm sure it's going to be tough to match a face scan, but I know they can do better than what we see with John Stockton there, particularly after seeing how incredible some of the new classic players looked last year.



I'm with you on the signature styles though. Seems like we're still trying to catch up to where we were on that front in 2K12 as well. But as long as we're heading in the right direction, I'm encouraged.

Man....... that Big Ben says it all......sorry for the fluff post but that Ben Wallace needed acknowledgment... haha

Why even release these pics? So terrible.

And per usual, the whites look more gray.

Re: NBA 2K17 Screenshot - 1992 Dream Team with Charles Barkley

Again.....I'd rather have this team in the game than not have them in the game.
So I won't complain or nitpick the screen shot.

Long live the classic teams!

Old school hoop heads unite !

I see 2k still has a problem with red colors looking pink

And where is MJs goatee?

2K has just released another NBA 2K17 screenshot, this one featuring the 1992 Dream Team with Charles Barkley.

You can see the 2016 USA Basketball Men’s National Team with Coach K here.

Reference Pic:

Why my dude Larry Bird's arm so short compared to the real life pic?

His hand barley goes past his waist belt area

Also the mesh holes are the same as modern jerseys... not a big deal but it sticks out

Re: NBA 2K17 Screenshot - 1992 Dream Team with Charles Barkley

Some huge improvements for Scottie, Larry and Ewing.

Jordan looks strange - he has a pointy chin here and no goatee. C'mon 2k, when you gonna get the GOAT right??!

Stockton looks off and why is old Malone STILL in the line up here?

Barkley is on POINT!!

Gotta admit, for the few flaws, I'm quite excited for this!

Now......LET US EDIT THEM!!!

Clyde is almost the same height as Stockton in the 2K pic. Compared to real life pic there seems to be a discrepancy....

So we got 1992 Larry Bird but still have 1998 Karl Malone why didn't they bother to do another Malone model.

Re: NBA 2K17 Screenshot - 1992 Dream Team with Charles Barkley

2K11 Jordan still looked the best IMO. How come they did so well with it back then (without face scanning of course) but can't now? Its odd to me.....

I agree - 2K11 and 2K12 were the best - plus, they had a different-looking Jordan for all "eras". I think partially it is because of the bigger resolution (Xbox 360 vs Xbox One).

But yeah, as an old-school hoop head the legends in 2K have been a huge disappointment. It's mind-boggling how some hobbyists can create vastly superior models for these legends, and 2K keeps on pushing these weak attempts.

As much as I LOVE the legends and everything 2k has done for us, to be lucky enough to have them every year, it's clearly evident that they're are second fiddle to everything else 2k works on in the game.

My player, the silly story modes (My personal opinion, I know they are well liked) and all the online stuff takes precedent over everything else, which is a shame. There's so much potential to be had here.

Look at how amazing 2k11 and 2k12 were for legends - I would have thought, with the size of the disc space today, they could work heavily on the classic aspect whilst not compromising the other game modes that everyone else enjoys.

With all that said, I would rather have the legends, albeit not polished, than have none at all.

At least they've been SOME improvements....

Re: NBA 2K17 Screenshot - 1992 Dream Team with Charles Barkley

I just remember using MJ in 2K11 against the Celtics and he was gunning his signature stutter steps, shooting form and finishes at the basket. Then taking it up to '98 Jordan and working the post, fade aways etc. His signature dribble stuff changed, stroke etc. It was amazing.

Then 2K12 happened and the legends expanded more so....and as a fan I was very, very excited.

I'd just love it if (5 years later) that'd been built on. Magic's signature no looks in transition, Shaq drop step and facial etc. etc. If the legends felt more like themselves I'd use them (and currently I don't touch them at all).

Obviously early to say, but one can only hope the 92 Dream Team aren't just the (attempted) faces with jerseys.

These days it just feels like the legends are stuffed into the game and then its more about "removing online cheese"......
