2k angers me every year add new things but take out another thing. how are you going to have 76ers and kings without the player that made the famous. like cmon no c-webb or dr.j thats wack also how you have charles barkley in the game but not the 93 suns. and why isnt the 97 knicks and heat in the game like cmon you dont even have tim hardaway in the game like what is wrong with you guys.

To me the more concerning part was the discovery that some of the classic players from 2k12 are now gone from the game(Dr. J, Kareem, C-Webb). The classic aspect is not selling point like it was in 2k12, but I found it curious that any interview that asked about the classic teams got a stock, "all the teams from 2k12 are in 2k13" answer an nothing else. Now I understand why that was, they did not want anyone whose buying decision would be swung by hearing that some of the key players from some of the teams were gone. For example, if my favorite part of 2k12 was getting to play with Dr. J or Kareem, I might not buy 2k13 since those players are no longer part of the game. It's not the way I feel, but I'm sure someone does feel that way.

Well I just heard/read that Kareem, Dr. J, and Chris Webber will not in the game and I am really, really disappointed to hear that. I will now probably wait to buy the game in hopes that those players may still be on the disc and that hex editors will be able to hex them into the game. OR I know this is a long shot but maybe these players would be included in a future DLC of some sorts but I highly doubt it. Those players were most likely signed to a one year deal and perhaps did not agree to being in 2k13 but its still disappointing.

Well I read somewhere that Barkley only agreed to be on the Dream team and that his likeness could not be used for any of the other teams he has played for.

It's just a pointless waste of time having the Kings without Webber and the sixers without Erving. Next they'll be telling us the Lakers are missing Magic Johnson or the Rockets don't have Hakeem. Either do it right, or not at all.

Those players are what makes those particular teams special. Why include them at all without key stars?

Why do guys equate the number signature skills a player has to how good that player is? Just because one player has 3 signature skills, doesn't make them a better than a player with 2, 1 or none.

Westbrook 93 overall better than Rose and D-Will .... he didn't win no MVP or nothing. I know a roster update is for sure coming out opening day. Still, I would love to see the numerical attributes for Westbrook. I am going to throw a few of Deron Williams' skills out to prove a point he is the best PG in the NBA.

Deadly 3 point shot, adequate midrange shot, drive to the rim with outstanding court vision to kick the ball out, obviously the best passer in the game today, competent defender. What does Westbrook even have? All I know is he has a nasty pull up jumper and can explode to the rim. He puts up a lot of points. Why is he a 93?

EDIT: Deron Williams BALL HANDLING is superior to Westbrook in all regards

I wonder if Dr.J got fed up with them not putting in a decent dunk package for him..if any legend player needed a dunk package it would be a dunking pioneer like him. Here is out it went down: Erving: "So..did you guys take time to look at my highlight videos on YouTube? Don't get me wrong...I love the layup package, but there are more highlights of me dunking back in the day...I did win the first dunk contest ya know.."
2K: Well we thought guys could just give you TP with maybe the Jump Classic..or athletic guard..."
Erving: I'm out.

Westbrook is a better defender than deron. A lot of ppl say d will is a bad defender. D will 3 point shot was 33% this year. That's like average. His midrange was ok, not that special..his FG% was lower than russ..his shooting was not as good as russ. His defense not as good as russ. Then factor In russ vertical and athleticsm steals rebounding etc etc and you have his rating. Rose probably stayed a 92 because of his awkward season

With that being said, overall in this case don't mean squat. D will does have nasty handles and can shoot and can dish the ball out nicely and is a better pure pg than russ. So I say his rating is lower than russ because russ rating is inflated from athletic ability and other things. They don't play the same way so that's the difference In rating. Russ vertical might be 90 somethin and d will passing might be 90 somethin. See what I mean. And I'm sure d will stats will go up with his new team man.
