Historic Teams will be DLC

I'd rather pay so the money can go to 2k, giving us a better legends product than have this:

So you think because you're paying money for DLC that you'll get better face scans than that ****ty MJ face model?

Yea...

Right.

If that were the case, I think most would agree with you. However, with respect, there's been zero evidence to suggest any of these hypothetical conditions are based in reality. I personally don't think money is what's standing between 2K and securing the rights to, say, Steve Scheffler.

If anything, I think time is their biggest enemy at this point. With a year-to-year cycle, it just feels as though the game's development has generally established parameters and attention, innovation, and renovation varies from there. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but I'm just not convinced the money they'd rake from pay wall DLC would go directly toward benefiting classics.

2K's made incredible classics before, with what I imagine to be a smaller (or at least similar) developmental budget. It can be done, and it can be a part of a game's initial price tag. As such, the only reason I can see them hiding them and releasing as DLC is as a gouging opportunity. And chances are, the proverbial Steve Schefflers will still be missing at that point and there will still be plenty of issues and imperfections, only this time we'll be paying extra for it, because we're suckers.

It will be interesting to see how players who were great in college but average in the NBA will be rated (Kwame Brown, Darko Milicic, Hasham Thebeet, Greg Oden, Sam Bowie, Bill Walton etc)

I get your point, but Kwame came directly from HS (which was probably his downfall as he wasn't ready) and Darko came from Europe.

Thanks for correcting that, it will be interesting to see how players who were great shooters in college are graded as well

They havent even hinted at charging us for the previous legend teams that are available....but if that was the case (which I doubt), thats something thats definitely not flying with me...

but if they considering on dropping additinal content- keep in mind, they are considering it, this isnt a scheduled release like say, what WWE 2K does...then yes, I would expect there to be a charge.

**** costs money...time, resources its the real world..you just have to decide if its worth it personally once they give detals...

I'm ok with this just as long the roster is complete with no generics! If I'm paying for something it better be complete!

Did I read that right, that we might have downloadable classic college teams?
