Anyway I am glad 2K added more teams even though half of these new teams I wouldn't consider classic, but its nice to see that 2K tried to please alot of fans with the teams added.
Respectfully, the 1991 Hawks are likely classic in terms of age only, and that doesn't necessarily make them more desirable by default. I'd consider most of the additions this year likely better fits for classic/retro/throwback/former-team-brought-back status.

Further, while the 1992 Knicks were a bit different from their already-included 1994 (edit: 1995, thanks, Journey) counterpart, I feel as though that would have been a wasted slot, so to speak, since the already-included squad could likely be easily fashioned to represent the '92 team as it is (create Xavier McDaniel, Mark Jackson).

The only selection issue I have this season would probably be the 2013 Heat, only because that squad is barely a year removed from existing and can so easily still be made.

Either way, if there was going to be three versions of someone, it might as well be LeBron James. Doesn't Michael Jordan have five or so versions at this point now? And Shaquille O'Neal has four? Not to mention Kobe Bryant now has three appearances, ditto Dwyane Wade, Dikembe Mutombo, Charles Oakley, and of course, Paul Mokeski.

I'm happy with every new classic team, minus the '13 Heat. They're taking up a spot that could've went to the Nets.

Hopefully LD was right when he said there's always room for more. People will PAY for more teams. At least I know I would.

Wishing we got the D-Miles/Larry Hughes/LBJ rookie team, but I'll take a Big Z/LBJ team.

How could you not want to play with a guy who has an entire website dedicated to him:

http://heylarryhughespleasestoptakin...ybadshots.com/

I'll trade him and put him onto the Wizards with MJ.

Not interested in any Bron team. Yeah, I'm a *****.

Will these teams be in next year or are these for a year only?

I agree on the first part. It would have been nice to see a Nets squad. And I'm surprised a 2000's Spurs didn't make the cut.

I always balk when paying for teams comes up though. I don't think that's necessary and I always fear when gamers bring it up. If 2K's ability to add all these squads is any indication (not mention securing rights for all the Euroleague players and over 30 songs), they're not really at a point where they need us to pay above the price of admission to have these teams included... unless we beg them to charge us, at which point they may oblige, haha.
