Like I just said in another thread. Those Suns teams are nothing if they can't sign Charles Barkley. He was suppose to be part of the Jordan Challenge in 2k11. But never signed up. People said because he didn't like Jordan. I heard a story because he didn't think he was good role model for kids. If they don't sign him. You won't get the any of those Sun teams.

I said the only way I was buying 2K12 was if they put Magic Johnson on the cover. I cannot believe this is actually reality now. I'm salivating over the prospects of having 30 classic rosters in the game, allowing for a full-blown "old school" Association.

Great work, 2K!

That's not the case really. He and Jordan are good friends in private, so that's no the reason. The thing about him saying he's not a good role model for kids was back in the 90's so that has nothing to do with the game.

The main reason why Jordan and Barkley haven't been in any games (except NBA Live 98 or 2000) is because some sort of contract that they have.

If you had read the whole thread you would've seen that I've already talked about this. Like messenjahmatt said; it's a mirrored image.

I know it's not exactly the same, but the cool part is that a very, very solid looking Charles Barkley can be created in create-a-player. So that'd be a nice workaround, if they only provided the sun blast uni's. . .
