I know licensing plays a role but give us some more 90's and earlier teams. Hopefully they at least focused on the already terrible next gen classics as others mentioned in other threads. If not, this whole mode will be a huge whiff.

My guess is that 2k's logic is that a team like the 12-13 Heat will eventually go down as one of the best teams of their generation, if not of all time. They are definitely focusing on some of the best teams and players of the last 15 years or so. A team like the 99-00 Raptors aren't exactly a legendary or classic team but players like Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady will be remember as two of the best from their time period.

And isn't that a different game than 2k16, or do you somehow have legit body scanned version 's of everyone in that game.....oh wait you don't so it isn't the same

Ditto for James Posey, Sam Cassell, Eddie House, even Leon Powe...

The only reason KG didn't retire is he found a lottery team willing to overpay him 500%. He is a shell of his former self and I'm sure people would like to use a good version of him outside of MyTeam.

7 years is a very long time in the NBA.
If anything, the more recent the better, the older players look like cartoons since face/body scan wasnt around back then.

How did you forget the greatest player on that team? Brian Scalabrine also retired.

Along with the rumors of a deal with TNT (Barkley optimist), here is my best guess at who the remaining 4 teams could be: 1992-1993 Suns 2000-2001 Kings make a return 2003-2004 Lakers with Malone and Payton 2004-2005 Suns 2005-2006 Heat 2008-2009 Lakers One classic team I'd like to see added is the 1975-1976 Champion Celtics with Dave Cowens, John Havlicek, Jo Jo White and Paul Silas.

My man i doubt they will have 2 laker teams from the 2000's if that is the case why not add the back-back teams
