Dont have the same positivism or dont quite understood the same as you tho ...
As I saw it, the only thing clear is that inclussion of euro teams didnt cause removal of classic teams ... but classic teams
may have been removed due to other
non direct reasons ... in sum, the answer left the door still wide open for a restrictive/watered down version of classics.
Seriously hope to be proven wrong, but one thing I have learned about 2k is that if they dont answer it straight (they could just said no classics team have been removed, check further for details about classics ...), they either remove it, limit it or didnt put any emphasis on it (and considering the alternative, I would of been ok with just having all back again).
Anyways, looking forward to read, hear and see more anout the game.
