Classic Teams Return to NBA 2K14

[23]

I'm playing both the 99 2000 season and the 93 season on pc

For me it just takes the game over the top. There has to be a way to do it

Next Gen Michael Jordan is all I care about.

This, I really hope Air Jordan signed back on because it's just not the same without him.

Our great modding community will of course make it happen on PC even if his likeness isn't renewed, but next gen Michael Jordan would be so incredible.

I am relieved the classic teams will be returning...but I am skeptical they will add any more depth to them. I would be happy if they simply brought back more of the retro jerseys from 12. I am totally in the dark on why only certain ones are available. As far as retro rosters go from 2k13 the real question is one of priorities. For some having an actual jersey or cyberface of a legend without black arms is more important. For others having higher quality gameplay is key. Guys such as RayRay and myself who HAVE created retro rosters for 13 have done the best they could given options available. (Hate they took all those Sonics and Nets Jerseys)

Also...There is no denying the quality of PortlandBlazer's CAPs. In case some of you were unaware...there ARE rosters out there for 2k13 with exact duplicate CAPs (transferred from Reditor) from PB's rosters on 2k12. (I discovered a method which is detailed in my blog so I could transfer all the work I did on 2k12) I know LaRoche360 did a '96 and '97 season roster that included PB's caps. My 1987 roster and soon to be released Golden Age roster also use a good bit of his accessory and CAP work.

I know VDusen has mentioned this numerous times and I wholeheartedly agree...that it doesn't APPEAR to be that much extra work to provide other interesting retro teams that would include players they already have permission to use such as the 2000 Raptors. At any rate...it would be GREAT if they just brought everything back including DLC players. Not holding my breath though...

Sellaz I never got into that whole save and rehash thing. It's so much trouble to go through when I can just dl drag and drop on pc with all kinds of mods and authentic stuff

Oh I get that...I toyed around with moving to PC last year...I think I would feel better if I just stayed ignorant of all the great PC mod options...lol

It looks as if we have the same train of thought. I'm pulling at least for some small additions to help the cause.

That said if I were able to get that great stuff on the console I wouldn't have gone PC though at the time. That was just the last straw because the default rosters just blow.

Yeah that is annoying, especially when I just use my iPad when I'm home. I have a laptop, but don't feel like installing all those programs just to get a roster file.

Re: Classic Teams Return to NBA 2K14

VD, unlike you I was unsuccessful in going back to 2k12. I think the game was the best for retro sets but I felt that the controls on 13 were so good that no matter how many times I tried I couldn't bring myself to like the isomotion controls. If 2k12 would have had 2k13 controls I would have never bought another basketball game again. This gen at least.

Agreed on the controls, Ray Ray.

Can I download your rosters from 2K Share or are they offline links only?

JD@OS has what looks to be an amazing classic set for PS3 users.

I have both systems, so I am going to pick up 2K13 for the PS3 and check that roster out.

Checked into #NBA2K14 and can confirm the 1992-93 Suns unfortunately will not be in the game. The 2013-14 Suns will though. #SunsRetorter

Re: Classic Teams Return to NBA 2K14

Having classics really rejuvenated my passion for this game. I've played the last 3 seasons as Magic's Lakers, Ewing's Knicks & Nique's Hawks. I've worked around the generic players by adding current role players who fit the team. No superstars & no tattoos! Lol! That helps me limit my choices. I still get some good games playing franchise. I usually mix in a few classic rivals too.

I hope they at some point really improve the arenas & specific player moves. Nothing better than being Wilkins on a fastbreak & busting out a windmill or double pump jam! Other than Barkley's Suns & Miller's Pacers I'm good with the team they have. I just want to feel like I'm in the Garden or old Forum when I'm playing.

Damn, that's unfortunate. I don't understand why they haven't added them. Does it have to do with licensing? That team is most definitely a "classic team" with three All-Stars that made the finals.

At the very least, can Suns fans get some team? Maybe 75-76 that made the finals, or 04-05 with Nash, Marion, Stoudemire and Johnson? Maybe 89-90 with KJ, Eddie Johnson, Chambers and Hornacek?

Yeah, it appears to be a licensing thing. Charles Barkley has been reluctant to have his name used by the NBA. Even in 2K13, I think they had permission only to use his likeness with the Dream Team (hence the '85 Sixers still being Barkley-less). I'm guessing 2K doesn't feel they can, in good faith, add a classic team for which they know its prime time player will be missing.

I fully support a classic Suns team of some kind though. I feel even an '05 team would have merit, since the current Suns have a new court, new jerseys, and the whole shebang. A long haired Nash, a goggle-less Amare - it'd be a fun squad.
