That means they have to exclusively sign with 2K per Ronnie2K's explanation. That means no Perkins on 07-08 Celtics or 11-12 Thunder. No Tayshaun on 03-04 Pistons or 12-13 Grizzlies.

    Voshon Lenard is not included. SimBaller confirmed by saying the list I posted of guys in the NBARPA are not authorized yet to appear in 2K. They have to sign official paperwork.

    06-07 Warriors are missing.... Al Harrington/Mickael Pietrus/Andris Biedrins along with bench guys like Kelenna Azubuike/Josh Powell/Patrick O'Bryant

    The 03-04 Pistons team is decimated now.... Missing guys are: Rasheed Wallace/Mehmet Okur/Corliss Williamson/Mike James/Tayshaun Prince/Tremaine Fowlkes

    04-05 Spurs team is missing key guys too.... Nazr Mohammed and Rasho Nesterovic and late season acquisition Glenn Robinson

    03-04 Lakers missing... Kareem Rush/Jannero Pargo/Brian Cook but gain Derek Fisher

    10-11 Bulls are light too.... Missing guys: Carlos Boozer/Rasual Butler/Keith Bogans/Kurt Thomas/Ronnie Brewer/Jannero Pargo

    07-08 Hornets missing guys: Jannero Pargo/Rasual Butler/Melvin Ely/Hilton Armstrong

    07-08 Nuggets missing: Yakhouba Diawara/Chucky Atkins/Linas Kleiza/Anthony Carter

    06-07 Cavs missing Donyell Marshall/Damon Jones/Drew Gooden/Ira Newble/Sasha Pavlovic/Shannon Brown but added Scot Pollard

    01-02 Kings are missing: Hedo Turkoglu/Lawrence Funderburke/Mateen Cleaves/Brent Price & Gerald Wallace

    01-02 Nets missing.... Jason Collins/Anthony Johnson/Lucious Harris/Aaron Williams
    Ouch...that list hurts.

    Do you know if the 2008 Celtics had Scott Pollard and James Posey added to their roster? Since Pollard has been added to the Kings and Cavs, and James Posey is probably on the 2008 Hornets and was a MyTeam card last year, this shouldn't be overlooked. Same with PJ Brown, he's been added to another classic team so I hope he was added to the 2008 Celtics.

      I saw a video of all time raptors for 2k18, and they just put Vince Carters face from the grizzlies, they had a good face for Vince Carter in 2k13 i think it was, they could just use that.

        He never had a beard with the Raptors and they have a model of him without the beard on the 2000 squad. Got to fight the urge to use the L word here for the art guy or the devs or whoever responsibility this was, but it's tough cause it seems kind of obvious to have the all-time team represent the best version of the player and they already have basically the best version of VC available to them.

          Sorry if this was already addressed, does anyone know if you can put all the all-time players into the free agent pool?

              Pollard is added to the 01-02 Kings, 06-07 Cavs and 07-08 Celtics

              Posey is added to All Time Grizzlies but no other team

              PJ Brown is on 07-08 Celtics

                Not sure where you saw that video but there are indeed two different VC's in 2K18. My friend who played the game looked specifically for me at all the rosters and even was surprised they kept the beardless Vince.

                  I hope a dev sees this, Posey can't be that hard to add to the 2008 Celtics team. He's been in the game for at least a year now in MyTeam, and on the Grizzlies. Hoping this gets addressed in an update.

                    He was also a starter on 06 Heat.
                    Pollard shouldn't be on 08 Celtics, we need Big Baby

                      In this video you can see they didnt change hakeems jumpshot(2:51), i was wanting to do some vintage hakeem fakes and shots, but its hard with that jumpshot they left him with, its easily blocked and contested, i dont know who gave some of these players they're jumpshots , but they are way off.

                        Can anyone tell me, literally - what's the point in even having the Pistons in the game now? Their squad has been absolutely butchered.

                        The more I read and the more I watch, I feel I'll be skipping the game yet again this year.

                        For all the fancy bells and whistles they add to gameplay every year, and bolstering game modes etc - when it comes to the legends, I firmly believe it's just a cosmetic shoe in at this point. They're just window dressing to keep old heads like me happy - only, when you make them all generic as hell, with hardly anything to differentiate between them other than cyberface, it all hardly seems worth it.

                        I realize how unappreciative that sounds, believe me.

                        I know 2k has put in WORK for all of us, and do every year, I'm incredibly grateful of that - BUT, am I really being unrealistic and a little over entitled to think that with this generation's technology, a little more signature work could go into these classic teams? No matter how much I edit the roster, Jordan is never going to 'look' like Jordan in terms of visual playstyle.

                        I dunno, the news over the last few weeks has had me up and down more times than the underwear of a cheap hooker.

                          Dude I hear ya - I do feel bad for you aswell. I too LOVE me some 2K Legends, BUT I also do use current teams, so you can imagine how much more I'll be checking out when the game comes out.

                          BUT from a legends standpoint, I do feel there is some signature style lacking. If that were all I used, I would feel the same as you do (based on what I've seen).

                          I think the volume of legends is amazing, I think some of them look soooo much better, but signature style needs to be next. 2K would really take it to the next level when that happens.

                          Just sorry it's not this year (more so for guys like you than me Daveberg - as it's all you play).

                            Ah, it is what it is, Mark. I didn't have high expectations to be honest. I got excited a few times, but always knew the wind would drop from the sails.

                            Only interaction with current teams I have is to use them as fodder when I put the classics teams up against them in my league, Problem with staying with 2k16 is that I'll obviously not have access to new players and roster updates, but then, at this point, I think I'll just do a fantasy league and mix up the entire current league and pit them against the Bulls for my season play.

                            I guess we lucked out with 2k11 & 12 - the good old days for classics teams.

                            I sit back and watch this archaic video I crudely made before I had access to proper recording equipment - MJ's layups and signature moves were a thing of beauty back then.....

                              Dave stay positive. Wait for the game, im pretty sure we will find a way to make good signature for all the legends.

                                I'm hanging onto that 2004 Pistons team real tight. Regardless of who they lose I want to keep them in the game. I can fill in those blanks. Plus, I know it wasn't 2K's choice to not have Rasheed and Tayshaun included.

                                I actually might be more bothered by the 1989 Pistons jersey situation. Very much an immersion breaker for me. I love that team but it's very tough to use them in 2K due to the jersey stuff, some of the awful faces, and last year's super dark arena.

                                I know 2k has put in WORK for all of us, and do every year, I'm incredibly grateful of that - BUT, am I really being unrealistic and a little over entitled to think that with this generation's technology, a little more signature work could go into these classic teams? No matter how much I edit the roster, Jordan is never going to 'look' like Jordan in terms of visual playstyle.
                                I think one of the bigger issues for us is that we've seen what 2K's capable of. Their classic signature styles were exquisite five years ago. They weren't perfect, but they were a great base. And there's no way the game should have gone backwards in that realm in the years since.

                                Like I said elsewhere in this thread, based on what used to be in the 2K five years ago, we should be sitting here speculating whether Baron Davis' signature AK47 dunk is going to be in the game. All the signatures that used to be in, should still be in, and we should be wondering about the next echelon by now. Instead, we're trying to figure out whether we can finagle some signature-looking play styles upon those who used to already have a drove of them applied.
