In fact, 2K used to have the 1985 76ers in the game for a few years, even without Charles Barkley. However, I always had the feeling that 2K must have thought signing him wouldn't be an issue and they created the team before finding out he wouldn't appear (I think Barkley's face and members of the '93 Suns like Mark West were all eventually found on the 2K12 disc). Had they known Barkley wouldn't commit, I bet the '85 Sixers would have never happened (and they were eventually pulled after Julius Erving and Moses Malone both encountered uncertain inclusion... though Erving eventually returned).

I think 2K knows that it wouldn't be prudent to reveal a 1998 Pacers team only to immediately follow up with "But without Reggie Miller!" Some of us would take that team anyway but I just can't see that being something they could do with their own business ethos and general consumer response in mind.
Fair enough. With regards to your last point, don't you think 2k or any marketing company would know how to go about that? Come on, every fan pretty much knows by now the deal with Barkley & Reggie. They could leave them for last, release them with the full teams on the 25th in this case, and tease with something along the lines of: "We know you have been waiting a long for these 2 teams...don't count the stars".

I really don't think that'd go over well, but that's just my opinion.

If they want to be in the game, they have 2k's number. 2k doesn't need to tease, they ARE teasing with 2 teams released a day.

I'm going to need 2k to come out and confirm this 93 Nets inclusion before I get too excited. Also hoping for more official team reveals today as well.

Exactly. Everybody knows the Golden Era was the 80's not the 90's......

Re: 93 Nets

I really wish they posted a screenshot of at least some of the players on the teams, like they did with the all-time Lakers team. Not knowing who's on the team is bad enough, but not knowing what any of the players look like just makes it even worse.
