It'd be great to have Barkley in the game on a Suns team.

In fact, I'd guess two Suns teams will be added.

And it won't happen until the League changes it's stance on retired players. Barkley doesn't want his likeness in video games because he hates how the league treats their retired players.

Too bad. One year short of super fat Shawn Kemp on the Blazers.

How does the league treat its retired players? I am not aware, it's not something I've heard about... Can't be nearly as bad as how the NFL treats its former players though.

Don't they already have a deal worked out for insurance? And the transition from player to coaching or management is so common. What other issues exist?

I assume Pip, Bonzi and Sheed will have 'blaze it up' badges?

Ok, so now that this means that Shawn Bradley will be apart of the offical roster (other than MyTeam), does this mean that we can now edit legend's max height to be 7'6 rather than 7'2?

It was a pain to see created Yao Mings and Manute Bols only 7'2.

Also this SHOULD NOT APPLY to mycareer, just for editing roster.

02-03 Mavericks were an offensive juggernaut. They would fit better into todays more open NBA game. Should be fun to play with those guys

There has to be a Pacers team with Miller added, right? I'm just trying to think of notable teams or players left out and he seems like a big one. Not sure which team I'd like most.

O'Neal-Miller-Artest would be fun.

Maybe if Miller is the new commentator taking Kerr's place he will let himself be used as a classic player. Otherwise, didn't he have similar issues to Barkley or something? I'm not sure, just speculating. It would be fun though for sure.

The 2004 Detroit Pistons got to be on NBA 2K16! Best TEAM of the 2000s Era!
They used to hold teams under 70 points, no superstars just a group of guys that knew how to play together to prove that you don't need a Superstar or a Big Three to Win a Championship!

Umm this is the same team that had Ben and Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton and Chauncey Billups right? I would consider at least one of those guys to be a superstar.
