    Re: NBA 2K16 Reveals All 12 Teams Added to the Classic Teams List

    Im happy with these selections as both were on my want list.
    Really wanted Donyell, Big Z and Hughes for other classic teams
    I want to build myself.

    As for the Wolves glad to be getting Spree but its bitter sweet with
    no Houston and Camby. Hoping Oliver Miller and Gary Trent make
    it in because ill need them as well.

      It's just now occurring to me that those original classic teams were put in there for classic match ups. Over time they just started adding more teams. Still hate they couldn't get that 77 Blazer team to face the Sixers.

        If im not mistaken, they thought they had him some years back but things fell through last minute so they probably just kept the premade team.

          I honestly forgot about those 60s teams in 2k, as long as they keep the key players from those teams and put them in free agency or something, I wouldn't be mad if they removed those teams.

            My theory on the Sixers team is this: NBA 2K originally banked on Charles Barkley coming aboard for 2K12, with all his fellow legend compatriots (even Kareem agreed to be included, for crying out loud).

            If 2K was planning on Barkley coming aboard, the '85 Sixers would have made sense. As you acknowledged, without Barkley, the '85 team makes no sense, at least considering the '83 team was out there and available.

            If I had to guess, a potential '93 Suns team was pulled altogether because without Charles Barkley, that team loses its identity outright (I swear I saw cyberfaces of many of his teammates, like Mark West, hacked on 2K12). On the other hand, I hypothesized that 2K felt Julius Erving could still carry the 1985 Sixers team they'd already created, even in the absence of Barkley.

            Plus, it may have had to stay as a 1985 team to make it compatible with the Legends Showcase they had that year (where two teams from the same year faced one another).

            Edit: Sigh, Lakers24 already summed it up in 243 less words...

                I've had way too much time to think about all this...

                Good points. Yes there was a CF for frank Johnson even. They used Chambers and Cellabos in the DLC. I bet they were banking on him.

                  [QUOTE=VDusen04;2047650874]I think that becomes the question now. Did someone take care of these teams, applying the customary 2K Details & Little Things Stamp of Approval, or will it be another Larry "TINA TURNER" Bird situation?

                    No Webber, no point pretty much. Also that 04 Wolves team was a great squad.

                          They could have done without the Cavs team.....Was hoping for either one of the Nets finals team with Jason Kidd. I think more people wanted that than another Lebron team with no one else but Big Z

                            Looking back now, I wonder if the '93 Hornets were simply a Greatest Mode replacement team after the 1993 Suns fell through (which would have led to a '93 Suns vs. '93 Bulls contest).

                              Yeah not excited to play with the 07 cavs but there are plenty of other great classic teams added

                                07 Cavs did have David Wesley, Larry Hughes and them so that's better than 09 Cavs, but still a weird choice since Lebron will probably look the same across all the different teams and play the exact same. For people hoping for Sprewell, if he's not in, there's no purpose for that team since KG & Cassell are already in.
