    NBA classic hoops 2k14...


    Okay, so I had a thought just sprout in my mind, and although it is a relatively raw idea, I think it would work wonders for 2k. Since many of us appreciate classic roster incorporated into the 2k series, and we absolutely love playing the game, Why can't 2k create a separate series and gear it specifically to classic rosters? So we would have the official NBA 2k that comes out on release date...and just have a specific year in history that most would appreciate and work on one of those every year. Just put in the same engine as the regular 2k game same everything except rosters and such...maybe some different game modes. THAT would make me SO inclined to make me purchase...especially if it were only 20-30 bucks. I mean, if we're not going to get college hoops why not create another iteration of a whole new series?


    thinka bout it...


    playing with the 1995-1996 roster with all the new techonology and maybe even some cool new features separate from NBA 2k14? or even make it completely different than 2k except for the physics and realism/simulation...it would have everything from association mode to blacktop and authentic courts of that time and rosters...I mean it would GIVE 2k so much space to simply just focus on classic rosters instead of jamming everything in one disc and making some fans disappointed cause they left some critical element of "classic" teams out. Or...we could have a double disk...one is the standard nba 2k and the other is classic mode.

    would it be marketable? YES. especially the older generation..

    would it sell? yes!

    and the year after that...we could have the 1988-1989 season....or 1979-1980. hell we could even go back to the 70's and early 60's.


    I'd love to 2k do that. I'd buy it for sure.

    please 2k consider this. or a variant of that!

    I`d buy it for 60 dolars! Regular price tag.
    NBA today does not appeal to me and I only buy 2K games because of classic teams. The day classic teams are not part of 2K games anymore is the day I`ll stop buying it.
    The 86-87 season (Jabbah, Dr J, Bird, Magic, Jordan, Barkley, all of them were playing at this time) the 87-88 season, the 91-92 season or the 93-93 season are the years I´d love the most to see incorporated in a 2k classic hoop`s game.
    Listen up, 2K!!!!!The fans want it!

      My friend here speaks the truth!

      I'd pay top game dollar for this. Forget today's weak sauce NBA, I want the 80's and 90's to relive!

        It would be a nightmare financially for 2K to do this, and it wouldn't sell to the masses.

        It's on my Dream's list, but it will never happen, might as well save up for the pc version, and relive it through those guys mods.

          At least 2K should keep up with the good work on classic squads. There are some teams that I still wish to play with like the 87/88 Jazz (so beautiful arena...) the 87/88 or 92/93 Sonics, 87/88 Mavericks, 92/93 or 90/91 Suns (if Barkley does not agree on a deal again : ((( or any Pacers team, even without Reggie Miller would be fine too.
          Man, 2k ought to add those teams, they are timeless!
          I wish they were in 2K14, I don`t want it as a download pack because i`d love to keep it for years to come.

            Classic squads would be cool...BUT if 2K is gonna venture outside of NBA basketball...it should focus ONLY on College 2k14. I get so jealous watching PC modders and their CHoops rosters ...lol

              I guess this concept would be like a 29.99 games because not to many people would buy this for 60 bucks except those Gus who buy line every game like Behindshadows

                    im not saying that it is bad im saying that they need to add different lines.They use the same lines mostly every year and its so annoying.also they could change kevin harlan to someone alse.
                    If you would play and love basketball games like i do you would understand that they need new commentary team.

                    i love real basketball more since im from Lithuania where basketball is second religion and sport number one.I cant live a single day without playing or watching or even reading news about basketball world.

                      I am in complete shock somebody complained about 2k commentary. Wow. The best a sport video game ever offered, and it's NOT even close.

                      Anyway, as dope as that sounds, I agree with Jayman, Id probably pay $120 for College Hoops to be brought back, its crazy how much i miss playing college ball on the console, espically with all the updates in the game since 2k8. A myplayer mode in which id be able to go from like an AAU/Prep star, get recruited, lead my school to the final four, import into nba2k14, get drafted, and continue on is something i have always wanted more then anything in a video game.

                      ON topic though, running with all the 95-96 squads, doing a season would be damn fun to.

                        Re: NBA classic hoops 2k14...

                        I already know that I wouldn't pay for it, since so many players/names/sounds/shoes etc. etc. etc. would be missing.

                        Only PC players would actually make it work (and not all the way because it would just be mods).

                        In a perfect world, where this edition is perfect with everything, I would pay. But it's not real.

                          Last year 2k put out the Legends Showcase so I don't think another classic mode as DLC is out of the realm of being possible. For little to no overhead all they would have to do is let some hex editors from OS go to their community date (Imperial, Portland Blazer, DDel63 to name a few), unlock all the roster stuff and let them work. Get most of the players signed and drop it as DLC. Hell, most of the main guys are already aboard. Lock down more stars and starters and work on the creation suite. Namely name recognition, hairstyles and 80s/90s sig animations. College Hoops had a vast name base, not sure why we are stuck with the same lame nicknames. All of this seems pretty painless to implement and would appease their hardcore gamers who loved 80s/90s basketball and were the first to buy 2k games.

                          With all that said, 91-92 season for me (Cavs made the Eastern Conference Finals). I would actually buy the $100 version they put out if it had "official" community rosters as a bonus instead of a lame basketball, skin and earbuds. I hate that 2k is using typical tactics chasing the masses. They got in position because of hardcore sim gamers. Lose us, the whole house falls.

                            Agreed, 2K is what it is today in basketball because of the hardcore fan base, not the casual gamer, who actually doesn`t care about details in the game, and details are what made this game so great.
                            Personally I`d pay whatever price 2K asks for to be able to play a complete classic season. 1986-1987, 1987-1988, 1990-1991, 1991-1992, 1992-1993, all these seasons would be so great to have.
