    My first time running through an NBA championship on 2K in years. These moments made it all worth it.

      I started playing with the Pistons recently. They’re one of the teams I really did play with much back in the day. I think I used them a bit on Tecmo NBA (yikes).

      They’re actually fun to use. Using Isiah to get to the rim or kick it to Laimbeer. Reversing roles and letting Dumars run the offense sometimes and setting up Isiah up. Rodman getting 18 boards a game. It’s been a nice challenge because they don’t have tons of scoring so I have to play smart. I’m enjoying using the team!

        Using the 1989 Pistons, I went from containing Michael Jordan and beating the 1989 Bulls by close to 40 in one game on All-Star difficulty to literally not being able to stop the Lakers from scoring the next. I can't tell if the '89 Pistons are just a bad 2K match-up for the '87 Lakers or whether they're really just that good.

        It feels like if I try to guard Magic Johnson myself (whether with Isiah, Joe, or Dennis), he just runs fast and electric footballs himself right on past like I'm not even there (whether I give him space or not). And in the event of a miss, there's a 67 percent chance Kareem's stealing a rebound and tip-dunking or getting an uncontested layup. He's averaging close to 10 offensive rebounds per game in my series. He's also green-lighting off-balance 16 footers with impunity.

        I've had to lower the difficulty back down just so I could feel like I could play basketball again with some modicum of success and control. It's nuts.
        That laker team gives me FITS. Magic is literally UNSTOPPABLE.

          Have any of you guys played through a season using a full year classic roster (say, a 1990 roster)?

          If so, how do you handle the extra team slots? Like in that aforementioned 1990 example, the Raptors and Grizzlies didn't exist yet so it wouldn't make sense to have them in your league, but they have to be. Do you just fill them with bad random players to bottom them out?

            I'm playing a full 1998 season and have filled the surplus teams up with generics or low rated players. I then sim force all other teams to win against them to keep the additional teams at the bottom of the standings.

              I appreciate the response. I imagine things get a little trickier when trying to play through, say, 1985 (where there's no Heat, Timberwolves, Magic, or Hornets either).

              I realize now the importance of certain niche features some have been clamoring for over the years. Two primaries that pop up:

              1. The ability to reduce the number of teams in a league during MyLeague

              2. The ability to use a custom roster in Playoff Mode

                I haven't gone that far back in terms of a full season, but I can see that would be an issue with the range of teams now in comparison to then. Definitely scope for adding an option for how many teams you can feature in a season.

                  Yeah i did the same thing as dave mentioned in my 1994-95 season and the results came out perfectly as the grizzlies, raptors and pelicans were all in the basement.

                      I'm retired from gaming, but really hope 2K21 includes some sort of story mode for legendary players like him (not just MJ). Wilt was truly a basketball god, even by today's athletics standards.

                        Anything interesting from the demo regarding the All-Time Lakers and Celtics that you can play with? New additions? New faces?

                          Lebron has crept his way onto the all time Lakers. That's all I've heard. No other news about new inclusions, any arena improvements in terms of accurate audio, signature styles etc etc.

                          You'd think with Bryant being a feature, they'd at least give us one of his championship teams.

                          Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky.

                              Not sure if you guys saw, but in the demo on first page they had a team USA logo. Maybe Chuck is back in. Also, Manu is getting added back to game, this has been confirmed, see below links.

                              The demo for the current-generation version of NBA 2K21 released on Monday, and it didn’t take long for fans to recognize a Team USA emblem on the opening acknowledgments/credits screen.


                              NBA 2K20 was the first version of the series not to include San Antonio Spurs legend Manu Ginobili. There are rumors Ginobili is headed back into the game for NBA 2K21.

                                My morale is low right now for them to add chuck and reggie until i see the announcement on Twitter. But if that is the case then we can be able to formulate them and their tendencies/ signatures accurately.
