NBA 2K13 Features 92 Dream Team (With Barkley, No Pippen) & 2012 Olympic Team

[Furq]

Really hope Pippen is on the classic bulls at least

Will be fun to try the dream team but I really liked playing as the real classic teams

Amazing....just amazing !

Finally 2K has given me a team to face all of the Heat users.....LOL....

The dream team is MY team. I was in Junior High when this team played. I remember watching/following them along with all the hype that came with it.

Again....amazing announcement !

I am a harsh critic of NBA 2K because I love NBA 2K, kinda like a son. And so far, 2K, you have brought shame upon this family.

I agree with this. 2K did a great job last year with making the Legends feel right for the era they were in. Now they just threw all the faces and models from last year and gave them a new uniform. Why should we have to be 1998 Malone in 1992 or 1986 Bird and not 1992 Bird. I'm not talking about skills and attributes but their looks. Bird needs the short hair and his clean cut look. Malone needs his hair back and not his receding hair line. Robinson and Ewing need the flat top as you said. Its like they focused all their effort int this mode making the Barkley model. Lucky for them they had 1991 or 1992 models for most of the team for 2K11 or 2K12 its just those few guys who they didnt work on that bring it down. Now im not down on the Dream Team mode hell im pumped for it but the models for those few players are the one thing that has annoyed me about this thing already.

I don't get why everyone's assuming Pippen won't be in the game at all. They only said he wouldn't be on the dream team. They didn't say that he wouldn't be on the classic bulls teams. I'm sure Pippen wanted more money to be on the dream team than the classic bulls teams because it was the greatest basketball olympic team in nba history. Maybe he thinks that being on the greatest basketball Olympic team in nba history is more significant than being on the classic bulls team. I just assuming that. But I really don't get why he wouldn't accept the amount of money 2k offered him. He filed for bankruptcy. But it also could be 2k didn't even try to negotiate with him to be on the dream team because they knew they couldn't afford to put him on the team because of all the money spent on Barkley and they already have him on the classic bulls teams. So maybe 2k thinks that people will just put Pippen on the dream team because they will allow us to do full customization for the dream team . But then again, i am just assuming this. Maybe Pippen would be mad if they put him on the dream team without giving him any money since they gave every other player money.

Scottie basically told Phil to go eff himself when Phil drew the last shot for Kukoc in the '94 playoffs against the Knicks. I'm sure he'd tell any Twitter peeps the same thing if they tried to pressue him with this.

Kinda sad if you need the best team ever just to beat the Miami Heat...

And don't be surprised if they don't even ALLOW us to use them online in the first place

I said some people were hoping that the "huge" news would be substantial, (of ample or considerable amount, quantity, size, etc.)

Gameplay improvements that traverse every mode in the game are more substantial than the inclusion of another classic team to play as. This is how some of us feel and why we were disappointed that the news was "simpler" than what we hoped for.
