If I see the 06 suns man Ima flip out . I've always wanted them back in 2k. I always make the 04 Pistons vs the 06 Suns lol I wasn't very good at creating teams tho lol

Too early to have the 12-13 Heat in 2K... Well at least too early to be announced. What's next, the 14-15 Warriors lol

Idc tho as long as we get and 05-06 Suns I'm happy

Let me echo VDusen and say I'm grateful we get new "classics". The fact I can now use Vince and TMac with that Raptors team is awesome. Same goes for the other teams announced.

But as great as that Heat team was I still feel they should've went another route. Like someone else said, I want to play with a team I haven't seen in a while. I'll probably never use that Heat team.

I don't think the sarcasm comes from the greatness factor but from the simple fact that you lose the novelty with a "newer" classic team. It would be like them releasing the 1988 Lakers. IMO

Why should people be banned? It's not a classic team like the Heat aren't a classic game, yet. They are both great teams, yes but they are no way near classic teams, especially the Warriors. They are basically the same exact as team as last year except they have Chris Babb and Gerald Wallace instead of David Lee. No way should that be a classic team. If you want to use that team trade Wallace and Babb back to the Celtics for Lee and there you go done.

Maybe the term "classic" is throwing us off. I never liked the term "legends" for players on classic teams because let's face it. Many of those players were anything but legendary. For me the term classic has a nostalgic feel. You look back and say now that was a "classic matchup". Nobody says that about the last 2 years. Maybe 5 years from now I guess.

I think GS let Crash go, but agreed on everything you said.

I wonder how many more pages there will be on people complaining about the '13 Heat. It's not like this team is going to be replaced; it is what it is.

# 189 Sellaz32 @ 08/28/15 01:59 PM

I was complaining about the complaints...

Any of the LeBron Wade Heat teams are one of the best teams of the 2010 after so far, so it's not hard to understand they were going to throw them in there.

It's not a big deal to be honest, just don't use em.

Exactly, it's the same people cluttering the thread about an issue that's easily fixable and 23 stated it. Don't use them.

I can only hope he is referring to the 7 seconds or less Suns, the 04 Wolves, 06 Heat and 03 Nets.

First of all it isn't "free additional content" . Most ppl would a rather a different team don't see how that equals hating addition content.

Your logic???

I know it a long shot but the 09 Blazers would be dope.

Yes, the same people complaining every page in the thread is cluttering it. Especially, when they repeat the same damn thing, it's annoying.

Actually, the 15-16 Warriors should be a classic team already. So memorable. Best backcourt in NBA history. Actually Steph and Klay should just retire now and go to the HoF. I love instant nostalgia, lol.

I'm still hoping for the 2022-2023 T-Wolves. Now that's a classic team.

Yeah because your last 2 comments didn't contribute to the "cluttering" of this thread. Ppl that do what you did is actually more annoying. If you're happy with the two teams then why you keep coming back to this thread.

Don't reply and continue the cluttering of this thread.
