Will 2K finally add Classic teams for NBA 2K8? - Operation Sports Forums

FIFA, or EA FC, has garnered a huge loyal fan base throughout the years. While many purchase the game solely for the offline component, most of the player base consists of FUT players who play the game religiously. However, with FUT containing so many meticulous aspects, keeping up with it has become a full-time job.

From the extremely volatile market to the daily launched SBCs, there’s so much you need to keep track of; otherwise, you’ll become uncompetitive. This can make the game feel like a grind, rather than a playful experience. If you’re in the same boat, and your fingers are tired of scrolling through Twitter, Reddit, and FUTbin just to keep up, I’ve built something for you.

Say hello to FUTCast from Operation Sports, your one-stop shop for all things Ultimate Team. This is something that I really wished existed, so when no one else was creating it, I decided to do it myself. FUTCast is an all-in-one Ultimate resource built for the busy sports gamer. It’s something that makes sure you don’t have a million tabs open just to find the cheapest solution to the POTM SBC.

Instead, in less time than a division rivals match, it aims to deliver all the necessary information that a FUT player needs, right to their inbox. The goal is simple: I want to make EA FC Ultimate Team enjoyable again, just like it used to be. So, every Monday/Wednesday/Friday, expect a top-to-bottom recap of what’s happening in FUT, which will keep you competitive without burning your neurons.

The Newsletter will cover all bases, and here’s what you can expect to see in each issue:
- Market trends & price shifts — quick breakdowns of rising/falling cards and why.
- Promo and pack updates — what’s live, what’s coming, what’s worth your coins.
- SBC solutions & Evolutions — efficient completions, best upgrades, value advice.
- Buy/Sell/Hold calls — actionable weekly investment tips.
Now, you might be thinking, Why should you listen to me? Well, you don’t have to. But trust me, if someone handed me the sauce to unlock my Ultimate Team potential back when I was grinding FIFA 14, I would’ve happily accepted it, because I was spending 12+ hours on that game.

The entire point of FUTCast is to do all the digging for you, so you can spend your precious time playing the game instead of wasting it on gathering information. At Operation Sports, we’ve been doing this for a long time, and our entire community is built around that trust. The best part about it is that all of this will be curated by a die-hard FC player himself, and I don’t intend to let you down at all.

If you’re like me, and you’ve been searching long for something that fulfills all your FUT needs, it’s finally here. Check out the first Wednesday FUTCast issue now to get a taste of what’s to come; I covered everything related to the TOTW 5 drop, ratings reload team 2 leaks, and how the market is gonna change.

I hope you’re going to join me on this journey!

Re: Will 2K finally add Classic teams for NBA 2K8?

i dont know why people still fighting about, just make it your self if you want the 96 bulls then make the 96 bulls. It would be easier if we could trade hall of fame players on to teams or pick them out of the decade teams. And if we can have more throwbacks that would take care of it. Most of us dont care about the court to match. And maybe a better create a team feature, kind like madden. I would of love to make and try to create unis that are not in the game , mainly because i created i the usa basketball teams and never could find uni to match.

So basically all we need to do is this.
1. get decade players on other teams like in the past.
2. get more throwbacks in the game
3. make the classic team our slef or just wait for some one to make them.

2K needs focus on other things in the game then this. And i think this should be the end of this.

Re: Will 2K finally add Classic teams for NBA 2K8?

I agree that 2K should focus on other things than gameplay, but were talking about extra features that some people would like to see in the game. It's nice that there is a slam dunk contest but some people like myself feel that it would be great if they went the NFL 2K5 route and have classic teams that we can edit and play with. The thread is not to be a fight just giving thougts and opinions.

Again, we are not allowed to create classic teams in the game.

Is that you are not allowed because of...

1. Budget?
2. The NBA?
3. 2K Sports?

Thanks for coming on and speaking with us by the way...

I'm pretty sure it has to do with using player's likenesses that they no longer have a license for. Larger stars are easier than someone like... say... John Paxson.

Re: Will 2K finally add Classic teams for NBA 2K8?

it would to be seprate deal's for each player, They dont want to do what they had to do APF. Because they cant use somebodies name or likeness with paying them. Because they would gt sued. Thats why they cant do what they did in NFL 2k5 with historic teams. Its easier when there a facemask covering there face.

Does anybody remember the days of putting mj or barkely or rookies for live 95 and 96 and then genrice players became them? Well that stoped because company got sued.

The best they could do is give us old unis and logos and courts. And we the players do the rest.

Why couldn't they give us classic teams with just the players numbers and we could fill in the names.

Or just limit the amount of classic teams and work on a licensing model similar to All Pro. Maybe limit it to only one classic team per franchise or just eight total classic/championship teams where you can run a tournament with. Less teams, less player licenses to worry about.

But, budget consraints probably has a lot to do with it given the fact that they are already paying for the NBA and current players' union licenses. Why cut into your profit margin just to add the classic teams feature?

Re: Will 2K finally add Classic teams for NBA 2K8?

all they need to do is let us do the work, let us make more create player and give us the option to create more teams, cause 2ksports has been sooooo lazy on updating roster. And they only let us put in 25 players, that sucks, with so many players missing from the original game already.
