Now all we need is the D-League to return.

The D League has returned.. it's called nba live! Was that good?

I am actually rooting for live just couldn't help but jump on a good joke opportunity. Btw 2k is really just taking all nba live old, not carried out so well ideas and making them better. Even the give you this feature this year take it away next year, then give it back later and present it like its brand new again. That mike Wong, knows war.

Carry on.

And if this comes in replace of the classic teams, as somebody mentioned above, then that is not worth it. I would rather see, at least, 1 classic team for all the teams in the NBA so I can do a legit Classic Association before I get to play quick games with Unicaja Málaga. And in NO way does this mean "another nail in EA's coffin". No shot. I can only assume that 75% of the people who buy NBA2k are in the USA, and I can assume that 95% of those people don't care at all about Euroleague. I guess that is just my opinion, but I will say if they integrate it in with association mode, that will be pretty interesting.

Yeah I agree that if this was the replacement of classic teams, that would be horrible. What I don't disagree with you on is the fact that 2k will DEFINITELY not have a classic team for each of the NBA teams. They will only add the ones that were playoff contenders or HOF to be players/teams. For example: 03 Detroit Pistons, Spurs, New Jersey Nets, Indiana Pacers, L.A Lakers etc.

And I honestly don't see 2k getting off their lazy asses and adding any more pre 2000 classic teams and trying to get Kareem/Webber to sign their rights to the game. We as consumers can only hope they bring back the exact teams in addition to adding a few 03-04 teams.

I think a lot of you guys are really underestimating 2K's fanbase overseas.

There have been countless total conversion mods for PC that include several international leagues. 2K is just pandering to this crowd, and I'm very excited about this and any additions associated with this.

We can only hope they make a provision in Association to be able to stash players away in Europe and/or have free agents sign there if they can't get on NBA teams.

Though, I'm pretty sure they'll be more keen to expanding MyCareer to allow your player to play either in the NBA or overseas.

Then we find out all the legends went to Live . I still like legends to be in the game in a type of way... I also want the D-League back. Why? So I can mod all those teams and I can have a massive game where I can have fun beating the 95-96 Bulls with the lowest ranked Euroleague team.

30 NBA teams
27 Legends (I think its 27)
16 D-League (its 16 right)
14 Euroleague
10 CAT
4 2K-based teams
and for giggles lets say 11 FIBA teams

About 100+ teams you can use to basically keep the game fresh for a while, if they actually do it. There's actually no excuse for this (with the exception of contracts but thats another story) cause user mods in the past actually almost reached 100 teams, and Im talking Xbox 360, not the 250+ team mammoth of UBR 2K12 for PC.

If legends aren't in the game, this is a step forward, but 2 steps back again in terms of replay value. (I don't wanna have to see the roster makers actually work to get classic teams back)

what are you talking about 2k has always had more animations and Live always had more control, but lacked in animations.. Even in 2k13 you can become stuck in 2player animations

Could care less about this unless it's integrated into association mode in some type of way. People are getting excited saying it will be for sure, when we have no idea.

I surely wouldn't hold my breath. If these teams are going to be just for quickplay, online play, they might never see the court in my game.

For the people that are really excited about this, i'm happy for you no doubt, but I want 2K to take the next step and make sure they're integrated in Association.
