2K please Show More Love To Classic Teams/Players in 2K23

[daveberg]

Not going to happen.

They're an afterthought now. Last time we actually had immersive, accurate classic teams was in 2k12, hasn't been the same since.

i agree and disagree with what you said

we do need some few more classic team.

and YES you are right! gameplay for the Classic teams is broken and the reason is specially tendencies,
but also playbooks and option in the coach menu that we can't reach to them (which is really pis**** me off).
I've edited few classic teams (and created my self) tendencies and for some teams i get great results gameplay wise and some are just i don't get it.
example: I created the 2012-13 Nets, i have Brook Lopez on 99 post up, and no matter what he just won't post up and he gets the ball only around the 3-point line, the other like J.Johnson, D-will and G.Wallace play really like them self though

You’d think that they would put some effort into them being that Myteam uses a lot of classic players too.

A functionality that I would love to see is the ability to do a season or start a franchise at a point in time in NBA history. I know you can do a league with classic teams (major drawback of this is the free agency period is insane because the contracts aren't accurate) but I mean start a league in the 94 season with accurate rosters, jerseys, courts, contracts, salary cap etc. for that year. They already went back and recreated every single draft class in history for use in leagues (really cool feature if you havent used it) and that has been great. I have a 95, 03 and 12 rosters that I do this with now, but took a lot of time to get where it is. Would be awesome if 2k could expand on these year-specific draft classes and just have the full NBA rosters. I think just doing it for iconic seasons (like 80, 85, 95, 16) and just nailing down all the details would be great

No Barkley and Reggie is a crime but Im sure its some contractual dispute. This has been documented with Chuck, he wants them to compensate older players who didnt get big contracts when they played. The gameplay is horrible by the CPU sometimes. They dont reflect minutes played/rotations well. I've had games against the 92/95 bulls where MJ takes 10 shots all game and plays the equivalent of 30 minutes

Problem is 2K won’t release the assets they have in myTEAM offline to the rosters. So as you stated, zero lack of effort from 2K’s part. It is maddening because you would think adding missing players and coaches is nothing complicated.

If it's not Park they don't care.

Even Park and Neighborhood gameplay is remarkably unchanged after years and years.

Still left righting like crazy.

Harsh reality. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they started REMOVING the classic teams that we have now
