lol so you not going to buy a game just cus one guy rated a 73? Do you see the games between Euroleague teams vs NBA teams sometimes the Euroleague teams win they beat the Lakers the championship team a few years back. I am honestly happy some guys were rated a 80s I be even more happyer if some guys were rated in the 90s overseas is a great place for NBA to get there talent from tons of great NBA stars came from there any of though teams can beat any NBA teams

Nba Live is now the savior? they haven't even seen any gameplay or presentation and they claim they're switching and I absolutely believe it may not contain legends.

I agree 100% Ea is only out for are money and Madden shows every year finally we get a good Madden game out of what 10 years


2K we get a good game every year. people take for granted with 2k every year. We get the crew people no crew no buy 2k listen guess what we get crew. We get the people like the Euroleague teams and wanted them in the game they complain cus it only for quick play big deal at least we can play as them. 2k gives us a dream classic teams and like that guy said people complain bout the game sucking. I see it everyday people complain everyday with 2k.


I see 2k trying every year I don't see Ea even trying at all

While I'm disappointed 2k didn't add new teams and they took out the Dream Teams, gameplay is still improved. I'm not from the school of thought where my expectations for one $60 game far exceeds my expectations for another, so whoever offers the better package for next gen will get my day one purchase. I do think it's ridiculous to say things like "they don't have Dr. J, I'm buying NBA Live", gameplay unseen. That's like saying they don't have my Benz in black, only green, so I'm buying the next car that goes down the street regardless of what it is. Chances are it won't be an upgrade on what you've passed on.

If that is all you care about it seems 2k12 would be the most logical game for you forever as I believe al of those guys were on that edition. I know the first two were at least.

Buddy, those guys don't want to be in the game otherwise they would have agreed to be in 2K13-2K14. The Kings were removed completely since Webber, the best player on the team and only all-star, was missing for a second year in a row.

The Dream Team and team USA were a one-year special item and people need to realize that. Maybe they'll bring it back in the future during the next Olympic games or even better a spin-off game (or DLC).

Not a single new retro team... Been waiting for the Pacers for a while now, c'mon 2k stay with it.

Reggie Miller doesn't want to agree to a likeness deal, like Barkley before him, so why include any version of the Indiana Pacers from his career? People need to realize that historical teams have been a luxury, mostly due to Jordan and the retired players association, not a necessity like many believe or feel.

True, at times it seems some folks may be latently suggesting that 2K is somehow just forgetting to add players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the '87 Lakers, as if it were an oversight of some kind. It seems to be pretty reliably well documented that all the NBA legends you mentioned have opted not to allow their likenesses to be used by 2K these days. My guess is some relented for 2K12 because the game's primary cover feature almost entirely revolved around them.

Classic teams are indeed a luxury, but I certainly hope that luxury remains and is perhaps further expanded upon in the future (classic '00's teams largely made up of active players seems like a realistic start). I feel the history of the game shall always deserve recognition in the virtual arena. If nothing else, I'd like to see the gap close between historic teams that are provided and the ability for users to fill in the blanks and complete their own (via better create-a-player, create-a-team, logo selections, court editing, and a full range of retro jerseys).

so were the Dream Team, Team USA, and Celeb teams were replaced by Euroleague, or something else? cause that is how the VC, 2K Sports, and that other 2K-related team were replaced, but how/what replaced them.
