If the biggest superstar like MJ can make a deal than Chuck, or his management, should lower the bar or something, I didn't wanna go there but he never won a ring. A shame, I'd rather see Chuck than Ewing.

There were many games where Chuck was in and I still have some of them. He was in the first NBA endorsed game entitled 'Lakers v Celtics and the NBA playoffs' as a Sixer. He also was in the Olympic-themed 'Team USA Basketball'. He's most notable in the first NBA Jam released in 1993. I loved playing as Chuck there considering that he was really a beast in the year 1993. He also has an exclusive game starring only himself, Barkley Shut Up and Jam!, it even has a sequel but I never played those lame ones lol
I played NBA Live games when 2K wasn't yet around. Charles Barkley made his first "official" appearance with the series in NBA Live 98. It was an old fat 'n slow Chuck playing for the old Houston Rockets along with other too old folks Hakeem and Clyde.
Barkley retired in 2000 but he still appeared in NBA Live 2001 (the last Live game he's in). I'm not sure if he also was in NBA 2K or 2K1.

Barkley should make a blasting comeback in basketball video games for old time's sake. He's been absent for too long and I'm aching to pit him against Michael Jordan in today's awesome consoles. It would be a heart breaker if he still wouldn't make himself available for 2K13 (rumored to be MJ's final appearance).

I hope and wish in Nba 2k13 they could add all the legend available in Nba Live 2000 plus the ones they already have in Nba 2k12, that would be perfect. Have signature shots, dribble and more for the most popular legends such as Hakeem, Kareem, Bird, Magic, Dr J, etc.

Wow I never thought he was in these 2K games. My first 2K game is 2K9 and I had no idea Barkley was even in them previous issues. Thanks for the info bro

The last game Charles was in was 2K6.

C'mon, Chuck. Work with us here. We want you back in video games. More specifically, we want you in future NBA 2K games.

It makes me sad, but I'll just have to create him and replay his career that way.

Go to Chuck's web page and ask him why he's not in 2K12. If enough of us ask him, maybe he'll tell us why. I just did.

I actually like that idea
