Checked into #NBA2K14 and can confirm the 1992-93 Suns unfortunately will not be in the game. The 2013-14 Suns will though. #SunsRetorter

Having classics really rejuvenated my passion for this game. I've played the last 3 seasons as Magic's Lakers, Ewing's Knicks & Nique's Hawks. I've worked around the generic players by adding current role players who fit the team. No superstars & no tattoos! Lol! That helps me limit my choices. I still get some good games playing franchise. I usually mix in a few classic rivals too.

I hope they at some point really improve the arenas & specific player moves. Nothing better than being Wilkins on a fastbreak & busting out a windmill or double pump jam! Other than Barkley's Suns & Miller's Pacers I'm good with the team they have. I just want to feel like I'm in the Garden or old Forum when I'm playing.

Damn, that's unfortunate. I don't understand why they haven't added them. Does it have to do with licensing? That team is most definitely a "classic team" with three All-Stars that made the finals.

At the very least, can Suns fans get some team? Maybe 75-76 that made the finals, or 04-05 with Nash, Marion, Stoudemire and Johnson? Maybe 89-90 with KJ, Eddie Johnson, Chambers and Hornacek?

Yeah, it appears to be a licensing thing. Charles Barkley has been reluctant to have his name used by the NBA. Even in 2K13, I think they had permission only to use his likeness with the Dream Team (hence the '85 Sixers still being Barkley-less). I'm guessing 2K doesn't feel they can, in good faith, add a classic team for which they know its prime time player will be missing.

I fully support a classic Suns team of some kind though. I feel even an '05 team would have merit, since the current Suns have a new court, new jerseys, and the whole shebang. A long haired Nash, a goggle-less Amare - it'd be a fun squad.

Anyone know anything about Pete Maravich being on a classic roster again?
