LEGENDS REMOVED FROM 2K14 (THAT I KNOW BOUT)


WALT BELLAMY (71 HAWKS)
FLYNN ROBINSON (72 LAKERS)

So I guess a bunch of legends are going to be exclusive to MyTeam and not have their full teams. Bernard King, Rick Barry, Kevin Johnson, etc. That kinda stinks :/

Yeah. I still hope that those extra legends will be available somehow in the main game and not only in MYTEAM mode.

Nope, that's actually great. The number of people who actually use Classic teams compared to playing MyTeam is astronomically low.

The classic teams were added merely as a way to get classic players into the MyTeam pool.

Nobody cares about playing with Rick Barry's team (I am a huge NBA fan and I don't even remember who his notable teammates were). Bernard King's teams all sucked. Kevin Johnson wouldn't have a full team because Barkley would be missing which is like having the Kings minus Webber.

The 93 Suns would be disappointing, but I bet a ton of people would love to have Kevin Johnson on their MyTeam. The 2K team is going to continue adding players this way because classic teams are "a thing of the past". They're okay in the Jordan/Legend modes of 2K11 and 2K12 but without those there isn't much point to them outside of those. Securing the rights to individual players (retired, in their 50s/60s, and not of the gaming generation) is far easier/cheaper than getting the rights to all the scrubs and hoping they get back to you and accept your offer.

Couldn't disagree more. There's a massive following for the legends in 2k.

On Operation Sports maybe...

There's a niche group that's very much so into it...but not so much on the grand scale...

Do you have any data to back that up? On a grand scale I would say there is huge interest in classic teams. It is what helped bring 2k where it is today.
