Great point. Never even thought about that. At the end of the day you have to give props to NBA 2k for managing to go "exclusive" due to just being so good vs going the sign an exclusive deal route

The next step for 2k sports and for any sports game for that matter will be to ALLOW LEGENDARY TEAMS TO BE USED IN PRIVATE TEAM-UP 5v5 MATCHES.. I am a private team-up veteran, that;s all i play, EVERYONE WANTS TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE LEGENDARY TEAMS IN PRIVATE TEAM-UP MODE. especially since the rookies won' be in this year's title.. BUT 2K NEEDS TO REALIZE WE WANT LEGENDARY TEAMS AVAILABLE FOR 5v5 PRIVATE TEAM-UP. THIS WILL MAKE NBA2K THE GREATEST B-BALL BRAND FOREVER.

Legends are a gift that keeps on giving Dre. Give those guys about 5-7 years and they will be in the same boat we are. Their favorite players will be out the league and THEN they will understand the value of having great past teams and players in the game.

This is the greatest write up i've read on this sight! You didnt just hit the nail on the head...you waited in the churchtower with a sniper rifle for days until you saw your mark...lifted up..adjusted your sight...put the red dot on your target....pink mist!!! Dead on truth imo. I hope all game companies try to follow suit 2k bball is definately the gold standard.

@ Czar Nastalga takes longer to get old. One of the reason older gamers (im 29) like the "throwback" players so much is because it takes us to a place in time where we were kids and had less worries. Its the whole "i remember were I was when Jordan did...or Magic did" ...so on and so forth. Like you said when the Kobe's and the Garnets of the world retire..they'll understand

Thats just how I remember it though I'm not surprised how things ended up. Visual Concept's engine wasn't dated. The content that went in to the engine was dated.

True man but taking it even further and including fun to great teams as well

...and to be honest, some of these guys are close to contemporary, Guys like C-Webb and the Kings played against guys still in the league

Matter of fact they're already crying out loud to have Allen Iverson in the game at the same time they're dismissing older players


This inclusion is just what it is... the best basketball game series ever made.
