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

10:06 PM - July 21, 2016 by 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

Wow, Ryan Broekhoff will be in the game, Im excited, watch this kid up close his whole time at Valpo, from his freshmen yr thru his senior yr, as my wife and I were season ticket holders till a couple yrs ago when I just got to bad health wise to go any longer, so thrilled I will get to play with him in the game. Had always felt the kid was good enough to play in the NBA, and if he got with the right team, he coul dbe a key role player off the bench. The kid hustles and plays as hard as anyone Ive ever seen, and is very smart along with being a good shooter.

I hear you on that man. Was ridiculous seeing them in generic shoes and Jordan in the wrong colorways.

Offtopic here, but I really want 2k to add back in the arena sounds/music for the classic teams this year. It's been gone since 2k12 - Chicago Stadium and the Forum are just empty shells without their organ music playing as the Bulls/Lakers bring the ball up court.....

If they do include all national teams with the same effort to details like team USA it'd be amazing. But i got a feeling anybody that not in NBA will have same generic signature styles, blank hot zones, no badges and very inaccurate attributes, terrible cyberfaces.

Only the olympic teams are too few... If the comparison is with FIFA, there are many national teams (also not qualified for olympic game) that can be competitive and sell well in these nations (like Italy, Greece, Russia and Canada),

Not only were their accessories out of wack but their hair styles were inaccurate for that era. Just didnt feel right playing with a 1998 karl malone on that team,etc.

Agreed.

Though I praise 2k for their legend inclusions, the artwork and accuracy has a LONG way to go.
