I don't think historic teams should be included in ranked play. On one hand I can't sub in players that are injured in real life (for the sake of realism), meanwhile my opponent can play with retired players? Doesn't make any sense to me and it's going to be nothing but Bulls once everyone has them unlocked.

you have to earn your right to use the classic bulls in ranked play. It's not just given to you.I don't think historic teams should be included in ranked play.

Also, if the 2k15 cheese has been eliminated, the classic bulls are far from a sure thing against any of a dozen other classic teams I can think of. You can't just spam michael jordan anymore.Comment

OKC, GSW, Cleveland are probably just as good as a 2k team as any historic one.I don't think historic teams should be included in ranked play.

Bulls aren't any more OP. Plus I'll take plenty of the retro 2000 teams as well.
OP teams aren't even the MAIN issue past years it's that there are only like 2 or 3 that EVERYONE uses in ranked matches. This way we have a ton of good teams to face off, it'll even out.
Plus I'd love to bring Shaq and the 01 Lakers vs any Jordan team..

Re: NBA 2K16 Features Play Now Online
That's what I said. But, it's not about winning, it just gets boring facing the same team over and over. Plus, again it's just not realistic and runs contradictory to their reasoning for removing injured players from ranked play. If I can play with fantasy teams, then let me sub in injured players.you have to earn your right to use the classic bulls in ranked play. It's not just given to you.

Re: NBA 2K16 Features Play Now Online
Realsim and authenticity are two different things. Asking for "realism" is disingenuous, given that NBA 2K is a video game and video games are about creating your own scenarios. What matters is how authentic the players and teams involved act inside the scenarios you create. When two users are involved, you're both creating 50% of the scenario and you'll just have to deal with what the other guy wants to do.
I surmise not many players will be good enough to reach the summit and unlock the historic teams anyway.Last edited by Kstat; 09-23-2015, 03:11 PM.Comment

I actually hope it's VERY difficult to reach certain levels. It'd be great to get to a level where sim-style was the only way to progress.Comment

Defense/rebounding was always their achilles heel, and it's always been reflected in 2K.
Amazing offensive team, but on D they were pretty bad.Comment

Re: NBA 2K16 Features Play Now Online
That's all well and good, but then why restrict me from subbing in injured players? I brought up lifting that restriction last year at OS and got nothing but rage in response to the suggestion. Everyone replied that it would be unrealistic and not a proper simulation. But, now we can do fantasy match-ups and everyone is ok with it? I understand the excitement behind it, but you have to admit it is a bit hypocritical.Realsim and authenticity are two different things.

I seriously was able to be excited about Play Now for all of an hour before the other shoe dropped. It just seemed too good to believe because the new mode made so much sense and didn't seem to feed the 2k VC machine in any significant way.
