I hope (even though it's not a legend team) that they will add the old raptors team that had Vince carter and Tmac, it would be so awesome playing with both of them in their younger days

Re: Old school raptors team
don't hold your breath. Sorry to say, but you're surely in the minority when it comes to hoping for anything related to a raptors team, with the exception of course of a current roster....Sorry dude. Raptors have consistently been a terrible team. -
Re: Old school raptors team
If the 2001 Sixers are there we need the 2001 Raptors. That was a classic matchup back then with Vince and AI going at itComment

Re: Old school raptors team
By your statement I'm guessing the answer is no.Comment

Re: Old school raptors team
Yeah it's not like the Raptors and the 01 Sixers (The one included in the game...clearly before your time since you seem to be 12 years old) had a classic series with Vince and AI trading 50 point games and it going down to the final shot at the buzzer in game 7.Comment

Re: Old school raptors team
Veah, Vince Carter was only the most popular player in the league for what? 3 or 4 years? Consistently led the league is ASG voting, probably the best in-game dunker in league history. ect...
Young T-Mac. The Perennial Phenom before he was Greenlighted to take 25+ shots a game.
Move along, nothing to see hereIgnorance of evidence is evidence of ignorance...Comment

Re: Old school raptors team
The 2001 76ers had a young AI and played the Lakers in the finals, albeit lost. But they went on to be a pretty good team, unlike the Raptors..Pretty sure the Raptors got dumped 2nd round that year by the 76ers and haven't really recovered except for a playoff make a few years ago. no comparing the two in this conversation and they certainly aren't deserving of a "classic team" title. Not even the conversation.Last edited by joel0078; 09-12-2012, 08:54 PM.Comment

Re: Old school raptors team
I'm 12? Ok buddy. I've been here since 2006..Im a grown man, with a grown man career.....Clearly I am most def of age to recall 2001, unlike you, who I guarantee was prob younger than 12 then...The 2001 76ers played the lakers in the finals. Raptors got dumped in the 2nd round by AI and team..Do your homework before popping off...There is nothing about ANY raptors team that makes the worthy of having a 'special' team set aside in any 2k game.Comment

Re: Old school raptors team
So, the only pre-requisite for being in 2K13 as a classic team is playoff performance?
How consistent were the '90's warriors? The '91 iconic team got eliminated at the same time in the playoffs as the Raps did.
Yet one of the top 10 modern day 'What if' duos get no place.
So disrespectful! ;PLast edited by 2k10Fonzarelli; 09-12-2012, 08:58 PM.Ignorance of evidence is evidence of ignorance...Comment

Re: Old school raptors team
Also, to claim the Raptors have consistently been a terrible team is open to interpretation in my opinion. They were a dangerous team throughout the Vince Carter years, falling to the eventual NBA finalist Seventy Sixers by one point in 7 games in the 2001 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Carter unfortunately went down with an injury late in the '02 regular season, thus making them vulnerable in the playoffs, though they were still able to take the Central Division Champion Detroit Pistons to the maximum 5 game limit in the first round that year. Carter then went down with another injury in '03 and that gave way to his decision to make an exit in '04. They were down for a while then popped back up as Chris Bosh developed, again returning to the playoffs in multiple years later in the 2000's. I think we could call that mediocre, or underachieving, or so-so, but I don't think I'd call that consistently terrible.
Still, all that aside, what the Raptors have done outside of the year or two the original poster is requesting doesn't really matter. To be completely honest, I feel the Warriors have been far less successful than the Raptors over that same span (and then some). That doesn't make me any less satisfied about having the ability to play with the '91 Run TMC squad in 2K12. Nor would their futility in other seasons make me love using a hypothetical 2007 We Believe classic team any less.
On top of everything else, as I mentioned in another thread, the '00 or '01 Raptors would be extremely compatible with NBA 2K's current slate of legends. 2K already has the rights to Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Charles Oakley, Muggsy Bogues, Dell Curry, Kevin Willis, Doug Christie, and possibly Dee Brown (I feel like he may have been in the Legends Showcase). That'd be eight players already accounted for. The '85 Sixers in 2K12, by comparison, only had 7 real players. At that point, if 2K could secure the rights to an Antonio Davis or Alvin Williams, that'd be a pretty full roster. The jerseys are already there, a court would be the only thing left.
Even as a Detroit Pistons fan, I think a classic Raptors team would be an outstanding addition to the NBA 2K series.Last edited by VDusen04; 09-12-2012, 09:22 PM.Comment

91 warriors were "RUN TMC". One of the first "branded" nicknames in the "new basketball" era. Chris Webber had skills for a big man that had rarely been seen at that time in the game....That's why...They were exciting and relevant....Seriously, give up the argument. VC was nasty, yeah, Tmac was nice....But the team was nothing new, they weren't relevant. There was nothing 'special' about them. end of story.Comment

I'm sure there are a lot of gamers that would rather play with young VC & T-Mac than Mullin, Richmond & Hardaway.Comment

Re: Old school raptors team
I don't have survey numbers off hand, but I'm betting there's a pretty significant amount of gamers who'd love the option of using a 2000 or 2001 Raptors team.
