Who knows ??....A lot can happen between now and October.

It is good news that Pippen didn't file for bankruptcy. Me and other people in this thread said several times about how Pippen is still going to be on the classic bulls but not the dream team. I hope we are right.
If we are right, then we could easily move him from the bulls team to the dream team.

I can sorta see why there are unimpressed people on here. We already had all the Dream Team members, except for Barkley. Now they essentially just switched Pippen for Barkley.

Tho I suspect this is a part of a larger kind of plan for Team USA.

I hope 2k didn't give Justin Bieber a lot of money to appear in the game. If they did me and I'm sure alot of other people are going to scream because then they could have given that money to Pippen.

That's a good point. There's obviously still a lot of unanswered questions but from the small bit of information we know (or think we know), the article stating Barkley will appear for the USA but not classic teams seems to suggest they're separate entities in terms of name rights (which would sort of make sense, since one would be through the NBA and the other not).

Naturally, if that was in fact the case, I think the next question would be what might prevent users from simply adding Pippen to the Dream Team themselves, or adding Chuck to classic teams? Will transactions be locked with the Dream Team? Will players be editable? I'll be curious to find out.

This is pretty cool, but 2k13 NEEDS to include the '92-'93 Suns team, even if Barkley won't be on it. This way the HEX edit guys (Barockafella) can Hex edit him onto the Suns, and we'll at least get the authentic Suns court to play on. They also need to do FULL legend rosters...sick of dealing with that. Shoe edits would be nice too!

Hokup guy said that people could still hex edit in 2k13 which means that someone could upload Barkley on 2k share. Then, we could download him and assign him to a classic team.If Pippen isn't on any classic teams, but his cybeface is still on the disk, then someone could do the same thing.

Interesting old comments about what Pippen and Jordan think of Barkley at the time anyway about his drive to win.

And honestly, Pippen is a better overall player than Charles. You can't just do this switching and not clear things up. He had better be on classic bulls.

It's ok, just hand us the ability to hex edit rosters, and Pippen will be on the 92 Dream Team, and Barkley's Suns will be recreated. Besides, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF HIDDEN faces, hokup, can certainly find a Scottie Pippen, since he says theres 4 Pippens in 2K12. So no worries for me, now how about adding Reggie and A.I?
