Dream Team 1992 and Current 2012 USA Squad in NBA 2K13

[Andrew]

I don't think anyone is claiming they won't buy the game over this, either. If they are, I would say that they are indeed overreacting and not giving consideration to the legal side of things, which at the end of the day determines whether a player like Scottie Pippen can be included. It's a shame they couldn't come to terms with him, but it is what it is, their hands are tied without that agreement in place.

I get this, Jon. It's just that it was supposed to be HUGE, but it's not.

*In your opinion*

[fjccommish]

No Pippen = not the Dream Team.

Absolutely.

[JaoSming]

Like I said in my first post on it, I agree, it's not a big deal for us PC users since we've had this team for years and years, but considering this team hasn't been in a game officially since the Genesis, Good Job 2K

[Andrew]

The more we have to work with in the base game, the better the patches can be.

That sucks, you can't have the Dream Team without Pippen. Bird was finished at the time and Pippen started almost all the important games. Plus without Pippen's defense on Lebron & Durant it will be tough to beat the 2012 team. When I play the 92 vs 2012 in the UBR I keep Pippen in almost the whole game with Drexler & Jordan.

2K should add USA 96! It s the second best dream team ever !

Is this for real? Adding USA 2012 and USA 1992 is the HUGE thing? They did what we already had in nba 2k10, nba 2k11 in FIBA mods. And in FIBA 2k12 we have
USA 92
USA 94
USA 96
USA 2000
USA 2002
USA 2004
USA 2008
USA 2010
USA 2012
not talking about the rest of the retro teams.
The UBR has a xxx number of teams. What a shame 2k!
This is crazy. That's what the guy was talking about, it's happening Stop Preordering Video Games. Please.

It is a tremendous shame, but their hands are tied if they couldn't come to terms with him. It is what it is.

That said, it'd be great if they could come to terms with him later and add him in officially via a roster update. Also, if they happen to leave any of his data in the game, it'll be a tremendous head start for updating the PC version (and possibly the Xbox 360 version too).

They add Barkley but they cut Pippen, great idea 2k, start work on gameplay and animations, leave rosters and cyberfaces, we can handle this-and we can do better than u 2k.

Tell this a guy who pays 59 € for the PS3 version of the game...

[kobebryant24]

I will tell him to buy a PC and if he doesn't wish than he is f****D

It's not like they planned to do it. He wanted more money than they were willing to pay, they couldn't come to terms and so he had to be left out.

[diamenz]

i wonder how they'll advertise the dream team on the box. DREAM TEAM! then at the bottom in tiny print 'no pippen tho'.

sounds about right eh?

[Andrew]

I assume they'll avoid drawing attention to it.

[deihatein]

On the NBA 2k Facebook Page:



I guess they finally have Pippen

[Leftos]

Just saw that too. Good move both for 2K and Pippen.

[chicagoRAW]

Yep, Just heard on the radio from Darren Rovell, Pippen signs. Great to see that it's complete.

Great news!
Pip and Chuck officially together in one game. 2ksports worked the miracle.

[MJALLDAY]

Scottie being included is definitely great news. I know it doesn't really matter to us PC users but we're a very small percentage of 2K players. Anyway I have 2k11 & 2k12 for PC & PS3 though I doubt I'm gonna get the console version of 2k13 ( I still regret getting 2k12 for PS3, I guess I couldn't wait the extra week for it to drop on PC).

[RedPhazon8]

Good to see they got everything worked for the Dream Team.

[Deyman]

Yes! So glad they got him. The Dream Team didn't feel right without Scottie.

[homicide1550]

Glad to see that Pip and 2K settled their differences!

I love the generic shoes! Wee!

[Andrew]

Fantastic news.
