    It seems like they've removed the retro shorts used by 90s teams and merged them with the shorter static shorts used by 60s-80s teams for something in between.

    This means 60s-70s teams shorts will be too long, but it also means 90s teams shorts won't be baggy enough.... this is atleast what I'm getting from the video. Hopefully it's not the case.
    Yeah, it was tough to tell but you could be right. I also sort of thought the jerseys looked a little baggy compared to the shorts but I couldn't get a good enough look to know for sure.

      Do we have a list of all the new legends yet? Also, do we have confirmation that Chris Bosh is gone? What about Prince and Wallace for 04 Pistons?

        It really seems like Bosh is gone. I think the All-Time Raptors starting lineup was shown and Bosh was replaced by someone quite inferior (perhaps Jonas Valanciunas).

        As far as I've seen, I haven't seen anything on the 2004 Pistons roster yet. I'm not holding out hope for Rasheed Wallace but I do think there's an outside shot at Tayshaun Prince.

          2k need to get these dudes on the phone man. If you're gonna have all time teams you gotta go all out every year or don't do it at all.

              Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like whoever's in charge of tracking down legends at 2K has done just about everything in their power. Also, I would take what they've given us so far over nothing 100 out of 100 times. If NBAPA technicalities and difficulties prevent guys like Chris Bosh, Roy Hibbert, and Tayshaun Prince from making the cut, I'm more than willing to sacrifice those players in the name of Bob Lanier, Nate Archibald, Bob McAdoo, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Rony Seikaly, Spencer Haywood, and Kiki Vandeweghe, not to mention all the other legends on over 60 classic teams.

              On one hand, I get what you're saying, they're not complete all-time teams if they're missing some of the all-time players. But for me, it's such a great option to have a robust playground of legends. Ten years ago I never thought an NBA game would ever be able to land classic teams. Then after 2K did just that, I figured there was no way we'd ever be able to land any of those ancillary players from teams that didn't make 2K's cut. Yet here we are with hundreds of classic players at our disposal (all editable in almost every category except for face). No way I'd ever trade that in just because they couldn't lane every single legend.

                Any news on the All-time Pacers team? They easily had the worst roster in terms of snubs last year.

                    Hal Greer was not on the All-time 76ers starting lineup like he was last year, so I think they removed him. As for Luis Scola, someone who watched Chris Smoove's prelude mentioned on reddit that Scola was not on the '08 Rockets.

                      My only complaints with the legends would have to do with some visuals and occasional lack of signature moves. I'm always pretty happy because I never dreamed I'd play with these guys again. I wish Barkley & Miller were in but I understand 2k's position. The roster of old school players had been solid. Hal Greer passed away in April so I knew he wouldn't be in. Most of my missing player list consists of role players to fill out teams. (Chris Morris, Sam Bowie, Jeff Malone). Hopefully they'll get added at some point.

                      I'm thrilled to have these old school players though. Every year I throw myself into watching old games to get a feel for all the teams. I've had some awesome seasons since 2k11!

                        I was sohappy when I saw Chuck Hayes and Luther Head that I didn’t pay attention to Scola


                        Sad about Greer, didn’t knew about his passing.

                          They lacked a back-up point guard. I moved Paul George to the PG while Artest was the SG and Granger the SF. Personally, I thought they were a solid team in PNO. Especially Granger...that was a scoring machine!

                              Hal just died in April, so it's probably a Moses Malone situation where they haven't been able to secure the rights to his likeness from his family.



                              I mean, I'd love to see him in the game, but it's probably poor form to contact his family about a video game likeness 4 months after he passed away.

                                When I would play games with the all time Pacers team, I put Jalen Rose as the backup pg. I know 2k can only do so much, if players or family of players than have passed dont want their likeness used, not much 2k can do about it, so cant really blame 2k for crappy all time and classic teams.


                                I wish the all time Pacers team, would have had another pg on it, atleast one more. Vern Fleming would have been my choice, always was a big fan of his. I liked how Clarke Kellogg and Granger were added at later dates, I couldnt figure out why Kellogg wasnt there to begin with since he has been a part of the broadcasts for yrs,lol.



                                I would have also loved to see Mel Daniels, Roger Brown, Billy Keller, and Freddie Lewis. Give the Pacers ABA greats some love.


                                Actually I had been hoping one of these yrs with 2k putting in classic teams, that they would show some appreciation to the ABA. The ABA in many ways shaped what the NBA came to be. It was due to the ABA, that the 3pt line was put in the NBA.
