Just Free Agent cards which are basically temporary cards.

Might as well throw the 2012 team in since I'm pretty sure they're all probably still in the league. 2008 wouldn't be too much of a stretch either.

Throw in Anthony Davis, Russ , Chandler, and Iggy. The 2nd best roster in history. Starting 5 v 5 is very close. 2012 better outside shooting and quickness. Dream Team, better defense and strength. Anyway, to keep this on topic. I'd love to get 2012 and at least 8 -12 decent national teams. Spain Argentina,Brazil, Lithuania, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Greece, China, USA. I'd be very happy with those teams and some decent courts. Oh yea, and please let us customize dream team shoes. Give us old nikes and converse pleeease

Maybe I'm a little biased since the 1992 team was right in my wheel house of watching the NBA. I still have my Dream Team basketball cards from NBA Hoops.

Anyway, it'll be fun to play the 92 team against vs 16 team in 2k17! Especially since Barkley is in the game. I'm definitely going to pre-order now. That USAB jersey for MyPlayer is going to be sweet.

I wouldn't mind the 96 squad being in the game too they would only need Grant Hill and Reggie Miller to complete the roster.

Pretty sure everyone except for Kidd (and technically Kobe too) is still in the league. They could definitely make it happen. They have rights to use Jason Kidd (he was in MyTeam)

This is just my personal opinion but can someone tell me why people are so keen on the inclusion of classic teams in general as well as the 1992 dream team? The players look no better than the ones you can create yourself, sometimes worse. I just don't get the hype of playing as a team that looks around about similar to their real life counterparts.

Serious question; What era of ball did you grow up in? If it's the 90's and back, you should understand why we clamor for classic teams so bad.

Being able to play with "authentic" players, jerseys, arenas, signature moves, attributes, and other stuff like that makes classic teams one of the best parts of the game.

I only ask because Iv'e noticed most people who don't care for classic teams only started watching the NBA in the past 10 years or so.

Classic team is weak when there is only one or two teams for that year. I don't know about you but I don't want to match up an 80s classic team with the 2000s Lakers. It doesn't look realistic to me. I refuse to play the game like that.
