Better not bring the "other company" into this discussion. Mods don't really like it.

I hope they release teams later and we can download them for free. I hoped they would have the Showtime Lakers with Magic, Kareem, and Worthy not the over the hill Lakers.

I'm going to have a lot of fun using the Bad Boy Pistons.

Also anyone know if Marv Albert will be doing the commentary? Loved these 2 sayings, "YESSSSSS" and "A Facial Served UP BY ________" And how sick would it be if before the games Roundball rock was played!!!! This game could really be my favorite game of all time!!!

There's been no word as of yet as to whether other teams aside from the ones already listed will be unlockable. Charles Barkley has always been difficult to sign on to a basketball game so I feel that Suns squad could be iffy, even if there did end up being more teams available.

The '95 Knicks are being used rather than the '94 squad because the classic teams included were all opponents during the 10 "Jordan Moments" being used for the Jordan Challenge. The '95 Knicks were the opponents for Jordan's 55 point game shortly after his comeback.

Finally, no word on Marv Albert and I hate to speculate - as I know nothing - but I wouldn't hold your breath. 2K mentioned era-specific commentary but as has been mentioned in other threads, I've gotten the impression this would be more of Kevin Harlan mentioning Michael Jordan and his exploits rather than having an entirely different broadcasting team.

I don't know about other teams. They said they got all the starters and most of the bench players (for the teams that are in the game), and hopeing to get all of them eventually. So it doesn't seem like they're gonna get other teams. Unless they were also talking about other teams but didn't say a word about it.

Anyway, I think that since the focus of this mode is MJ and NOT general classic teams, no other teams will be in. But for me it's more than enough. I couldn't have asked for more. Seriously, 4 days ago we wouldn't even expect half of that, and now people want a lot more. Come on!

After all, this only one mode, it's not even the game itself. If it was a title like APF 2K8, I'd say - yeah, more teams are a must. But it's not - it's just another option on the main menu.

If you guys want more teams create them, simple as that as always

Oh man...if only it was possible to recreate the old TNT intro from 1990...to me it's the best EVER!

Yeah I'm curious as to whether the classic teams will be able to be toggled. If, for some crazy reason, I wanted to create the 2002 Wizards, I wonder if I'll be able to take a Jordan and throw him onto Washington. Having authentic historic teams could lighten the load (at least a little) on people who have historically created entire years of teams and players in 2K (i.e. instead of created John Stockton, he'll already be there, ditto Bryon Russell, Ron Harper, etc.).
