NBA 2K14 to Feature Euroleague Teams

[LeBronistheKing]

This is unexpected and great news. However I would love to know a few things. The first and most important being does this inclusion mean the elimination of the classic teams from 2K14? The fact that this is a multi year deal leads me to believe so, and that would be a major disappointment if that was the case. The classic teams has added tons of replay value for the past couple of 2K titles, and after seeing the next gen footage of 2K14 I have been even more excited to play as the classic teams with that level of realism in the player models. Would be devastated if they were ommited. Which brings me to my next question/concern. Will these Euroleague teams or classic teams be available on the next gen versions of 2K14? I have already pre ordered for PS4 only, and it would be a shame if I missed out on this feature but hopefully the upgrade in graphics will make up for it.

I hope 2K makes the Euroleague 3pt line realistic 'cause as you can see in the photo above the 3pt line is far away from the bottom circle near the free throw line.

I wonder if they will integrate them into association/career modes or will they just be teams you can play with online or exhibition. This also makes the talent pool bigger in myteam.

I have to know more info before forming any real opinion.

The 3 point line is the same distance in Europe as in the NBA nowadays.

Just added 5 higher res screenshots to the OP.

I like the addition, it should be fun, I hope playbooks can be saved online though that's what I want

Good news but it will only be great if there were real differences in the US crowds and the European crowds, especially Greece and Turkey. In those countries, they support their local basketball team like their local football team, so the atmosphere is even more intense because it's in a smaller stadium They have flares, banners, flags etc. The lighting is very different to NBA arenas (which 2K still has mostly wrong). They cheer every made basket, they make chants. If playing in a Euroleague team's arena is like playing in the Charlotte Bobcats's arena, it's simply not worth the effort.

EDIT: Yep, these crowds suck, just had a look at them. Most of them are sitting down. That is NOT how your average Euro crowd looks like.
