I
loved the idea of the Dream Team. I'm afraid there might be the assumption that folks just weren't interested. However, like the Dunk Contest and 3pt. Shootout, I don't think it was people not liking the idea, it was just a matter of questionable execution.
That said, I'd fully support the inclusion of some '92 Dream Team opponents so there was actually someone they could realistically face.
On the other side, I sort of assume the Dream Team won't be returning. So if that's the case, I'd at least support retaining the dunk contest and 3pt. Shootout but completely overhauling the control schemes.
I'm with you. Recent classics could be really fun too. It's actually getting tougher to make our own 2000's as the years go on because so many teams are changing their court art and whatnot. For instance, the '07 Warriors used to be an automatic self-made classic but now they look a little ridiculous in their '07 jerseys on their '13 hardwood.
