Historic teams and your usage of them

I see a lot of people that want team A, B, or C... I've been thinking about it and in all my 2k time combined I think I have used them maybe 6 times, I don't play with real life friends so I can see that making a difference. Anways, the question is how often and how do you use them?

Re: Historic teams and your usage of them

Haven't been able to do it on xb1, but in the 360 days..... I'd put all the top players from the legends teams on the FA list so they would all be in the fantasy draft at the start of Association games between my mate and I.
Although my favourite reason to put them on the FA list was so that they'd all sign with teams for year 2 of your mycareer. Career is fun playing against the current superstars but even better when you're up against Jordan one night, dunking on Wilt or Russell the next.... Great fun!

Historic teams and your usage of them

Classic games are really a way to extend the life of the game for me. It more than doubles the amount of teams you can use, and really only a few of them are poor versions. It definitely helps keep the game from getting stale.

There are very few current teams that can play out of the post like 90% of the classic teams can. It's a very different way to play the game as opposed to the three point barrages you get today.

There aren't any truly dominant centers anymore. Sometimes it's fun to play through the biggest guy on the floor and play the game inside-out.

The only reason why I purchased 2k11 and 12 were because of the classic teams. I canceled my preorder for 2k16 Jordan edition when I realized that Jordan's likeness and signature style were half assed.

Re: Historic teams and your usage of them

I do a legends-current day roster with them for a MyLeague every year.

It's pretty fun because you can get some really unique rosters that I'm always curious how they will mesh.

For example, the Pistons will have:

PG. Isaiah Thomas
SG. Joe Dumars
SF: Richard Hamilton
PF: Ben Wallace
C: Andre Drummond

Sixth Man: Chauncey Billups.

I am really curious how Wallace and Drummond will mesh.

Re: Historic teams and your usage of them

Replace majority of the current teams with some of the classics in myleague. For example, replace the current miami heat team with the 2013 heat and replace the current Detroit pistons with the 1989 pistons .

Re: Historic teams and your usage of them

Mix and matching rosters with legends extends the life of the game for me...

I hope we can create teams...then it will REALLY be extended

Re: Historic teams and your usage of them

I do two two things with them.

1) I place the best players into the league either for a fantasy draft or so that each team is balanced with a couple of superstars. It changes the dynamic of the franchise mode.

2) I take individual legends and place them on my team. For instance, at some point I'm going to start a franchise where young Vince has been added to one of the current teams, for me to play.
