Seems like he or Mario Elie were missing...could be wrong) -Isaiah Rider -Ilgauskus All in all, quite pleased!

Really you didn't think Walker would be in? I was positive Walker was in, he needs that $$$. Dude is broke.

Yeah I'm quite surprised they got guys like Sprewell, 'Toine, David Wesley, Francis, and JR Rider. I honestly thought we'd be missing most of them. But hey, better to have these teams even if they're not complete than not have them at all.

Are you oblivious to how things work in this day and age? You're completely underselling the reach of Twitter. It's 2015, not 2005. Believe it or not, Twitter is probably the single best form of advertisement. It's the fastest and easiest way to get something out to the masses, and I'd wager that a VERY large portion of 2K's intended audience are active Twitter users. So yes, advertising something via Twitter IS legit advertising, especially coming from RONNIE FREAKING 2K.

With that said, of that very same intended audience, I'd wager that a pretty small percentage actually care about Classic Teams, and the fact that Sheed isn't in the game. It IS kind of fould that they put 2 teams in the game, and conveniently leave out that they are missing the same exact player, one of which he was probably their best player, and the other an extremely important piece of their title team.

The majority of the target audience of this game not giving a damn about these classic teams, or the fact that Rasheed Wallace isn't in it, was exactly my point.

Twitter or not, they're not selling this game to people based on these classic teams, nor one former player.

Sad but true. I just feel like you never know who's gonna turn down their likeness being used these days lol

Yeah...true that! I wonder how much these vets actually get as royalties from this? Guess every penny helps.


I should have used the word "relieved" rather than surprised in my original post. That's more what I meant.

Yea that makes sense. And on what these guys get Charles said he got 50K a couple of years ago when he was on the dream team. So I expect these guys to get something around 25-30K on average.

That's probably for guys closer to role players. I know for a fact I read Jordan only does his likeness at minimum for over a mill. Also notice that ever since Jordan has been in he's plastered everywhere. That isn't just because it looks cool, that is apart of the likeness agreement. These things aren't as cut and dry as the fans think. It's a lot of politics regarding this stuff.
