Euroleague will be included in 2K17

[iamSamke]

Great news for European 2K players, including me. I just hope this doesn't mean 2K won't have FIBA Licence (Euroleague and FIBA are in 'war'). It would be amazing if we can play with both.

European teams in NBA 2K17:
• ALBA Berlin
• Anadolu Efes Istanbul
• Brose Bamberg
• Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade
• CSKA Moscow
• Darussafaka Dogus Istanbul
• EA7 Emporio Armani Milan
• FC Barcelona Lassa
• FC Bayern Munich
• Fenerbahce Istanbul
• Galatasaray Odeabank Istanbul
• Laboral Kutxa Vitoria Gasteiz
• Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv
• Olympiacos Piraeus
• Panathinaikos Superfoods Athens
• Ratiopharm Ulm
• Real Madrid
• Unicaja Malaga
• Unics Kazan
• Valencia Basket
• Zalgiris Kaunas

Not surprising, seeing as how they've been in the past few games. National teams have already been confirmed, so we can safely assume they have some sort of licensing agreement in place with FIBA.

Really? I thought only Team USA, Dream Team and Australia are confirmed?

how about we get some game modes for Euroleague teams, having them only for Play Now is kind of useless

I hope so... But at least play-off mode (16 teams) is back, so we can play something beside play now with Euroleague teams

Those are the only teams that are confirmed to date, through reputable sources. However, the presence of those teams would mean that they do have the FIBA license, and it seems unlikely that the one international team they'd choose aside from Team USA (and 1992 Dream Team as the pre-order bonus) is the 11th ranked Boomers. It would seem we're just waiting on official confirmation of which squads have been included, aside from them.

[iamSamke]

It makes sense, but you never know until it is officially confirmed, so we'll just wait.

There are a lot more teams in one of the MyGM screenshots so that list might not be final. viewtopic.php?p=1853545#p1853545

Yes, list is final. Those teams were included in 2K14, 2K15 or 2K16 (Bayern, Budivelnik, Partizan, Cedevita...), so 2K used their logos for the preview.

While there's no mention (yet, anyway) of modes dedicated to Euroleague, it should be noted that it was mentioned in the league expansion blog post that you can put them into a custom MyLEAGUE game, which you could also do last year. They can be used in modes other than Play Now, there's just no special mode for them (as far as we know).
