How do they leave Andrew Toney aka The Boston Strangler off

[moemoe24]

Dude averaged almost 18ppg for the Sixers in the 84-85 season. Did they just forget about him or what?

They could not acquire his naming rights. What I was saying to quell everyone's fears prior to release was "Fear not, for a talented 2K user will create a very accurate Andrew Toney for us all to place onto the '85 Sixers ourselves." Alas, we do not have that ability, so the absence of players like Toney and Barkley is a little bit more of a killer than I thought it'd be. Not a game killer, but a killer of certain classic teams.

I would say so if you were a lake or Celtic fan back in the day. I remember Riley callin Toney one of the best clutch players of all time. Maybe he didn't want to be on the game, like Barkley, but if they just forgot about him it was a major oversight.

I can't believe they'd have forgotten about him. If they found room for guys like Clint Richardson and Clem Johnson, they'd have easily put AT in. Gotta be a rights issue.

This is the one game I'll drop down to Rookie 1-minute quarters and finish. I like Dr. J, but not having 2 key starters hurts the game. I'll admit, the inability to edit generic players on Classic teams (that workaround is too time consuming for me) has dampened my long-term outlook on this game, especially with the Lockout going on.

At this point, I'm probably putting 2K12 on the back burner and will go back and finish my Association from 2K11.
