Re: NBA 2K16 Reveals All 12 Teams Added to the Classic Teams List
Just to piggyback off this, it's not just about players or teams you want to play as or alongside, but teams you want to play against. Which is exactly what would be perfect for one of those early to mid 2000's Spurs teams. Beating those Spurs defenses would be a challenge.Saying 'oh there's so and so amount of this player so why not another of this player' isn't the point to me, and to a lot of posters who disagree with the Cavs addition I'd assume
It's the fact I look at that team and think who besides LeBron would I REALLY wanna play with, where as the players who are in multiple times were on teams with other players I wanna ball with, not including teams that were brought in from previous 2K's
3 KGs- 08 Celtics also have Pierce, Ray, Rondo etc. 04 TWolves Spree and Cassell
4 Shaqs- 01 Lakers young Kobe. 06 Heat beast Wade JayWill Toine
3 Wades- 06 Heat see above. 13 Heat Big 3
3 LeBrons- 13 Heat see above. 07 Cavs.....uhhh??
It would have been nicer to see an early 2000's J Kidd led NetsNBA 2K18 ratings for several seasons generated from advanced analytics using the SportsCrunch system:

Re: NBA 2K16 Reveals All 12 Teams Added to the Classic Teams List
On the older 2k games on ps3 and 360 people just created players or traded players to the current teams and made them classic teams . Luckily they let you also trade players from other classic teams. Someone made a 94 Pacers and put them all on the Pacers current roster. Some real players like Mark Jackson , Chris Mullin and Jalen Rose were already on the game. So that was niceComment

Magic didnt do it on his own though. Kareem helped get him there. Yes Magic won finals MVP with Kareem out, but he definitely had help getting to the finals. And the league was nowhere near as strong and deep in 80 as it was in 07. Lebron taking that team to the finals was very impressiveComment

That's not the point he was making. Magic was a rookie when he helped get the Lakers there. LeBron was not when he did it.Magic didnt do it on his own though. Kareem helped get him there. Yes Magic won finals MVP with Kareem out, but he definitely had help getting to the finals. And the league was nowhere near as strong and deep in 80 as it was in 07.

Saying the League was different then is one thing most everyone can agree on. Stating the league was nowhere as strong or deep in 80 as it was in 07 is something we will just have to agree to disagree.Comment

If it meant that they would devote time and resources to the classic teams and attempt to get them at least visually on part with the current roster, and at least the level of era specific details, presentation, specific filters that was present in 2k12, then yes I would pay for dlc. I look at another 2k game as an example WWE 2K, and how they handle their legends. Graphically in terms of textures, accuracy and overall likeness the legends are on par with the current roster, and they scan their current players models as well, just as NBA 2K does.

That's Ultimate Warrior who obviously wasn't scanned yet his textures and overall likeness is up there with the other current scanned wrestlers. Isn't there some way the classic teams could get to this level. Also giving us the ability to import faces coupled with the already existing level of uniform and court customization would allow us to make our own classic teams as well or make up for any omitted players (Barkley, Kareem, Miller. Webber). Actually taking a few pages from the WWE 2K series created wrestler play book would be ideal. However if they devoted a high quality visually on par level of historic content, I'm sure we would pay for it via DLC.Comment

Also hoping they get Big Z right. He did not have his bald head look in 2007. He had hair, but was heavily balding

Come on, the 06-07 Cavs? They should've at least put the 06-07 Spurs, a team who actually deserve to be on 2k16 that won the title and had great players on the roster.Last edited by AdmiralAckbar; 09-11-2015, 05:47 PM.Comment

Re: NBA 2K16 Reveals All 12 Teams Added to the Classic Teams List
Only problem for me is I don't know which 29 other teams to start with, with me being the 04 Pistons
Would probably lean to more modern teams with the 00s teams in now plus some createdComment

I'm gonna stay away from the teams missing key players, (Created Players just don't do it for me unfortunately). So the 87 lakers are out for me, same with the 76ers without Barkley. I see my association being something like this:
65 Celtics
71 Lakers
72 Knicks
77 Sixers
85 Bucks
86 Celtics
89 Pistons
91 Lakers
91 Blazers
94 Rockets
95 Knicks
95 Magic
96 Sonics
96 Bulls
98 Jazz
98 Spurs
00 Blazers
01 Lakers
03 Mavs
04 Pistons
05 Suns
08 Celtics (ME)
08 Rockets (I need to play against Yao)
13 Heat
and I'll include these modern teams and their star players to see how they stack up against the greats
16 Warriors
16 Cavs
16 Thunder
16 Spurs
16 Rockets
16 Clippers
Alternate Replacements:
01 Sixers (Depends if Snow is in the game this year)
91 Warriors
16 Pelicans (Really wanna see Anthony Davis go against these other great big men)Comment

Such a shame. A GOOD cap will work and sometimes looks better than the CF.
