Team USA in NBA 2K17?

  11:12 AM - July 25, 2016 by RaychelSnr


Ever since Paul George was announced as NBA 2K17’s cover athlete, fans of the series have focused on a small, but key cover detail: one of the pictures of Paul George features him in his Team USA uniform. Of course, this doesn’t guarantee we will see some sort of international competition in the game, but it would be an odd choice to feature that jersey on the cover if it weren’t somehow in the game.

If 2K does decide to include Olympic teams, it wouldn’t be the first time. Back in NBA 2K13, users could not only play as the star-studded 2012 team, but also the original 1992 Dream Team, including Charles Barkley. There wasn’t much beyond the surface, though. Users could use these teams in exhibition mode, and that was about it.

Australian team is in and you have doubt about USA Team? lol
D.Gallinari cover is out and NO Italian uniform, so Italian Team is off.
Only olympic teams will have in the game, we dont know if all or only few teams.

Definitely think there will be Team USA in the game. MyTeam will definitely be interesting.

Id like National teams in, as many as possible and the ability to create them and add them to international tournaments.

Would also like to see the D-League back... the year that had the d-league in the franchise/GM mode was my fave version.

As long as we don't have proper fiba rules implemented, a different athmosphere aswell as the gameplay based on the shorter three point line, national teams will always be a gimmick to me. It's still cool though.

This post is too funny!
There is the Australian national team in the game and you think that there is the American one?

They already have the high school and college rules in; I'd be more surprised if they were left out than included.

Can anyone list 10 reasonable benefits of having the USA team in the game?
 
# 9 CookNBA03 @ 07/25/16 02:32 PM
Hopefully, Olympics are part of MyGM/MyLeague.

Come on now can you list 10 reasonable benefits of any feature that's put into the game? How about this for a benefit NBA players are apart of it, and that's the only benefit that matters.

1- it's always good to control your national team in the virtual sense
2 - more variety of teams is good
3 - jerseys are nice
4 - All star teams are good to use when your mates come round that are hopeless and you still beat them when they use the dream team.
5 - if the USA team is in so should other team. (See point 2)
6- international tournaments would add shorter ways to enjoy the game in bursts rather than full NBA season
7- different set of rules would be a fun addition
8- since when is more of any modes/teams a bad thing.
9- give me ten reasons why it isn't a good thing
10- I'm sure I missed something I'll save ten for later

No but I don't think there needs to be 10 reasons for it to be a great addition.

I sure as hell can't lol

Nice feature. I'm sure there are those that will love this.

But with that being said, I sure hope gameplay is improved this year as it was very frustrating last year.

Probably just wishful thinking and obviously coach K is a huge name, but I really hope that is a sign that coaches got more attention this year.

That's a nice find. I think they will have Team USA plus other teams and maybe give us some sort of FIBA/Olympic mode.

But if they added that in MyLeague/GM/Career they would have to start filling those teams with generic players the more you advance in those modes.
 
# 20 23 @ 07/25/16 06:56 PM
I think this is the very first thing I asked for last year once i saw we could edit teams fully.

I think i've played around 3 tournaments, although its a pain to set up, its fun
