I love Larry Hughes I'm bout to bust out his Cavs jersey I got and wear it today...don't judge me lol.

But I kinda wish they had that team where it was Bron's last year in Cleveland and he was just completely unstoppable. But it's alright...they have a younger version of basically all my favorite players now: Kobe, Lebron, AI, T-Mac, Garnett...

Speaking of KG I think people are missing they added that team in with all the complaining about the Cavs lol, if defense is really as improved as they said it is then playing with KG will be such a fun experience.

Sadly they wanted only teams from the last 15 years. I would've loved one of the Unseld/Hayes teams in the game.

# 204 eltyboogie @ 09/11/15 12:27 PM

they should add the wizards big 3
j kidd's nets
ray allen bucks
melo nuggets

Right.
There are 4 Shaquille O'Neals (95 Magic, 98 Lakers, 2001 Lakers and 2006 Heat)
There are 6 Scottie Pippen's (89 Bulls, 91 Bulls, 93 Bulls, 96 Bulls, 98 Bulls and 2000 Blazers)
There are 6 Michael Jordans (86 Bulls, 89 Bulls, 91 Bulls, 93 Bulls, 96 Bulls and 98 Bulls)
There are 3 Dwyane Wades (2006 Heat, 2013 Heat and current Heat)
There are 3 Kevin Garnets (2004 Timberwolves, 2008 Celtics and current Timberwolves)
There are 3 Kobe Bryants (1998 Lakers, 2001 Lakers and current Lakers)
As far as LeBron James there are 3 as well (2007 Cavaliers, 2013 Heat and current Cavaliers) Is that really so egregious? Also while the team may not have been conventially great they were the first Cavaliers team in franchise history to reach the NBA Finals. So by definition they are historic. More accomplished than many of the teams that were added that no one had a problem with.

You might as well just add every team ever at that point.

That's not a bad idea....lol

# 208 VizzyXV @ 09/11/15 02:19 PM

Saying 'oh there's so and so amount of this player so why not another of this player' isn't the point to me, and to a lot of posters who disagree with the Cavs addition I'd assume

It's the fact I look at that team and think who besides LeBron would I REALLY wanna play with, where as the players who are in multiple times were on teams with other players I wanna ball with, not including teams that were brought in from previous 2K's

3 KGs- 08 Celtics also have Pierce, Ray, Rondo etc. 04 TWolves Spree and Cassell
4 Shaqs- 01 Lakers young Kobe. 06 Heat beast Wade JayWill Toine
3 Wades- 06 Heat see above. 13 Heat Big 3
3 LeBrons- 13 Heat see above. 07 Cavs.....uhhh??

It would have been nicer to see an early 2000's J Kidd led Nets

Simple fix. I added him in 2k15 to the 98 Lakers in create a player. Announcers even called out his name. He was on 2k11 for one year. They must never remove names from the data base in past games so hopefully do a nice creation and he can be there for ya. Kareem 's name is also recognized, and webber , etc

That wasn't his rookie year. 03-04 was his rookie year. And to answer your question Magic Johnson

This would be gold. Member team builder in ncaa football? 1000s of classic ncaa rosters on a roster share database for all.

Same concept here. I don't see why they couldn't. Create a player isn't infringing on anything in terms of player likenesses. Hope to see this! Couldn't you make teams on the previous gen? I remember playing with the 94 pacers

There is going to be a site for uploading logos, right? I wonder when that will be available.

Just to piggyback off this, it's not just about players or teams you want to play as or alongside, but teams you want to play against. Which is exactly what would be perfect for one of those early to mid 2000's Spurs teams. Beating those Spurs defenses would be a challenge.

On the older 2k games on ps3 and 360 people just created players or traded players to the current teams and made them classic teams . Luckily they let you also trade players from other classic teams. Someone made a 94 Pacers and put them all on the Pacers current roster. Some real players like Mark Jackson , Chris Mullin and Jalen Rose were already on the game. So that was nice

Magic didnt do it on his own though. Kareem helped get him there. Yes Magic won finals MVP with Kareem out, but he definitely had help getting to the finals. And the league was nowhere near as strong and deep in 80 as it was in 07. Lebron taking that team to the finals was very impressive

Pls no then they will actually want to charge for it of they see people will give them the money

That's not the point he was making. Magic was a rookie when he helped get the Lakers there. LeBron was not when he did it.

Saying the League was different then is one thing most everyone can agree on. Stating the league was nowhere as strong or deep in 80 as it was in 07 is something we will just have to agree to disagree.
