Classic Teams in Video Games

I have been gaming since 1979. This doesnt make me an expert it just means I am old. However, I have enjoyed seeing video games evolve into the awesome creations we have today, even Madden.

It seems 2K is on to something including legends in its NBA game. Although some are recycled it adds something to the game. Funny thing is that many of these legends I grew up watching. Again - old.

I had a discussion with a friend of mine and we both agreed that we would like to see more sports games include classic teams. Madden '93 had 85 teams in the game. Although today's games have much more detail I think it would be awesome to have classic teams in today's Madden. To be able to use the 85 Bears, '94 Lions with Barry Sanders, a few Cowboys teams as well as the 70's Steelers.

Carry this over to NHL with teams from the 50's where players didnt wear helmets and goalies no masks.

Curious as to what people think about classic teams and the teams you would like to see in digital bliss.

I love classic teams in video games...In every video game leading up to 2k11 i created the 96 bulls. I hope they never take them out and just keep adding on to them but i know eventually they wont be in the game anymore.

I would like to see Griffey on the cover of 2k12 and some classic teams i would like to play as would be.

95 Mariners 94 expos 99 braves 99 yankees 1990 reds 05 whitesox

In madden i would like to see some deion teams and 96 packers

I am in agreement. I have written the NFL former players association in hopes that they could hear from the fans the desire for EA to have a NFL and NFL players association agreement for former players to be involved in the game in forms of past teams.
