Historic teams and your usage of them

[daveberg]

Almost exclusively.

Don't much like current day NBA, so due to the much talked about state of classic player visuals in terms of uniforms, I trade them all to current days teams just to get some jersey physics going.

Quick match or season play with legends only. Don't touch any other mode 2k has to offer. Simply not interested in the game outside of the legends aspect, that includes all online play too.

if i can play with the historic teams online this year, then im reliving my young days with AI and the sixers n some VC with the raptors and not to forget the Celtics of 08

Me and a friend use them to put all the classic players into a fantasy draft and then using classic teams when we play so you get the old jerseys and courts.

Occasionally i like to take it back a little, but I've mainly used them on two fronts when I do.

Playing the game from the low block out since there were way more post scorers from the historic teams, compared to the range game of today. The league has removed the word "Center" from the all star game, which unfortunately states the trend of the league.

Secondly when playing offline battles with friends, as we pit teams from the same time frame against each other. Adjusting your game to SWOT of the era's talent pool.

I play mostly with historic rosters, but my own, not 2K's. Their level of polish with historic teams this gen has been lackluster so far.

I have never used them but I do use plays from their playbooks. Some of the plays are simpler but more importantly quick, so you can go through a few in one shot clock if the first play does not give you the shot you want.

I am really curious how Wallace and Drummond will mesh.

they wont, the fist fights over boards will be legendary.



I love the classic teams, but in the past i never used them as much as i would have liked because of the exaggerated ratings. Such a big discrepancy between the stats and the ratings earned was disengaging. Plus friends would act as if im cheating when i picked a team that had John Starks as 90 rated 3pt shooter.

I use the the old Hornets team sometimes but that's it. I'm not really into the old teams. i see them as old and/boring but that's just me
