Australian National Team Confirmed For NBA 2K17, More Teams Still to be Announced

[stevencad123]

When Paul George was announced as the NBA 2K17 cover athlete, many readers pointed out that he was wearing the Team USA jersey in the background, possibly hinting at the Olympics being involved in the game this year.

Fox Sports Australia has just confirmed the Australian National Team will be featured in the game (for the first time ever), so we will most likely hear about the other teams included and possibly what mode(s) they will be included in fairly soon.

As noted by Basketball Australia, here is the team roster.

• David Andersen
• Cameron Bairstow
• Aron Baynes
• Andrew Bogut
• Ryan Broekhoff
• Matthew Dellavedova
• Dante Exum
• Chris Goulding
• Joe Ingles
• Kevin Lisch
• Damian Martin
• Patrick Mills
• Brock Motum

Post your thoughts!

Re: International teams in 2k17

Great find, would be interesting to see how they implement the teams. Would be a shame if it's just available in PlayNOW, MyCareer would be interesting if the "Basketball World Cup" was included. Don't force people to be on Team USA.

Nice find, but I will save my excitement till after we see how its implemented, I still have the bad taste in my mouth of 2k13's Dream Team addition only being in play now mode smh.

Nice, but not really my kind of thing. Even being from the UK i'd rather them leave out a possible British team in favour of an actual NBA team - which is what I buy the game for, to play with NBA teams both past and present, not teams from other leagues across the globe.

2k could make major coin and have a whole new game dedicated to that, just a thought.

Still, nice news for some, not really for me.

Hope we get some more classic teams in this year.

This is always cool, hopefully they get enough national teams for some sort of tournament mode. You've got a teabag coming your way very soon, Mr. Bairstow.

I think they added some classics for sure.

I will say that there is a ton of value in adding the Olympics. It's not my thing either, but to some people it's everything.

Please God, Let these teams be tied into MyLeague somehow.
