NBA 2K16 Reveals All 12 Teams Added to the Classic Teams List

[daveberg]

I'm just going to dump most of the legends into the free agent pool/trade them onto the current day teams, as I fear the classic players won't have had their uniforms fixed.

I'd rather see them in today's long shorts with some cloth physics than stationary, skin tight lego brick jerseys ala the last 2 years.

Still hugely grateful for all the new additions, 2k is going above and beyond this year.

I'm pretty content with all these additions, if their done right. The roster pool just became incredibly deeper, and there's plenty of replay value.

My complaints... I wish their were more teams added that played in the same year. 07-08 Celtics, 07-08 Rockets, 99-00 Raptors, 99-00 Blazers, and the 00-01 Sixers and 00-01 Lakers are the only teams that they have added that play in the same year... (Sixers of course were already in) 99-2000 Knicks would have been a perfect complement to the Raptors. Ehh.

I don't think anyone would he upset if they dropped some teams and added even more current ones, How many people would be upset if they got rid of that 70 Hawks team, the 80's Sixers team without Barkley, the 80's Bucks teams etc. And as much as I love Jordan, we don't need that many teams with Jordan on them.

I wanted the 00-01 Bucks and one of those late 90's early 2000 Knicks squads, maybe they tried, and had some issues with a few players, who knows.

Last thing... it's kind of ridiculous they didn't get one of those title run Spurs teams in there, and I would personally never play with them. But it's kind of a shock, and a bit ridiculous. We don't really need the 12-13 Heat do we?

Still, if this is all done right, close to right, I can't complain, this is really huge of 2k, and I really appreciate it, I know it's not easy to get all these guys on board, or cheap. No other sports game really does this to the degree 2k takes it.

Edit: 03-04 Pistons and 03-04 wolves, I missed that somehow.

How dare you try to get rid of Pistol Pete.

Lot of it was also prolly based on past players agreeing to be on it.

Still no 90s Pacers. Maybe next year.

Again I think they choose based on hiw,many players they could get to agree to be in the game. If that wasn't the case we'd see more teams like the 90s Pacers with Reggie Miller .

Classic to me is memorable. Lebron rookie year taking just an average to good team to the finals was quite historic. How many rookies can claim that ?

That's odd?

[DamnYanks2]

Yea I was trying to get a running list of all the notable players that are absent.

Kareem/ Alcindor
Barkley
Byron Russell
Greg Ostertag?
Eric Snow
Orlando Woolridge

Am I missing any?
