[laroche23]

Kenny Anderson Just announced on Twitter that. the 92-93 nets are one of the teams ..has yet to be confirmed by 2k..

[smtesar]

I struggled real bad with shooting with Petrovic in 17!

Next two teams have been confirmed:

Good choices, I'd assume they have the rights to Chris Webber.

[[Q]]

What about Payton and Malone?

What about Payton and Malone?

Well they're already in the game so.... yes.

Kings 01-02 will be featured as one of the classic teams. Fantastic generation with Bibby, Webber, Divac, Stojaković, Turkoglou... Such a shame they didn't go all the way that year, they played such nice basketball:

[PeacemanNOT]

They're wearing the Rev30 jerseys that were introduced in 2010. The art team never fails to surprise with their inaccuracy, they just copy pasted that shit and left it at that

"Attention to detail"

[PeacemanNOT]

Headband should be black and I'm pretty sure Webber had a mini fro that season too.

[skoadam]

not sure, maybe its just because modding is my hobby and maybe im spending too much time on it. But this is their JOB for sake, do your job correctly, you have few teams to do, FEW- stop copying and pasting non accurate stuff from your previous releases- we are not blind. Every year same thing, watching screenshots and thinking what must be done by users to make it correct. We are rly tired fixing same textures every year, we should focus on real problems.

Good choices on teams, its still hard to understand how they lost finals vs detroit, even with whole kobe-malone situation.

The jerseys are not accurate
webber no headband this game
that season kings used black gear for home and away, i wonder if 2k does the same...

2k just doesn't put enough time into the accurate art details, they figure 90% of buyers won't notice/don't care.

'02 Kings and '04 Lakers are definitely much better choices than those two Grizzlies teams.

Fact.

[Andrew]

'04 Lakers are another team I mentioned in that Friday Five article as well, so that's a pleasant surprise. I'm not a Lakers fan by any stretch of the imagination, but that was a particularly interesting and memorable team. Also makes sense to have them to go up against the Pistons squad that beat them in the Finals.

Hopefully this doesn't stop them from adding the 08-09 or 09-10 Lakers... I mean... the two Lakers teams would be far superior than those Grizzlies teams... what a head scratcher.

My prediction for the last 10 teams:

92-93 Nets (because of the Kenny Anderson thing)
10-11 Bulls
10-11 Mavericks
07-08 Wizards
07-08 Nuggets
06-07 Warriors
04-05 Spurs
02-03 Magic
08-09 Lakers (Or 09-10)
99-00 Pacers (I do think a Reggie Miller team will be in the game this year)

I'm wondering if they will attempt an 80's team, if so... I think it will be a Sixers team (Hoping 82-83). But for some reason I am doubting it. The Grizzlies thing really messed me up, they could do anything at this point...

[Andrew]

I wouldn't be surprised if they add either the 2009 or 2010 Lakers. I'd say those other predictions are pretty solid, too; I expect at least a few of them will be in the game.

[Barkley_Sixers]

I want a 2005 Sonics just to make it really easy to make an All-time Sonics team

well their fanbase are teenagers mostly so they really dont care about it

Who is even on that 2005/06 Memphis team other than Pau??

I don't play 2K so I really didn't know

or the remaining %10 percent of buyers would wait for next year...

No one that isn't also already represented on a more significant or successful team.

[Murat]

This team includes various veterans who are significant parts of other classic teams or played currently;

Gasol, you know
Stoudamire for early 00s Blazers
Eddie Jones for late 90s Lakers
Battier for LeBron era Heat
Miller who played last year for Nuggets
Bobby Jackson for early 00s Kings
Atkins for 2002 Pistons (I guess)
Dahntay Jones who gets fines for Cavs
Cardinal for 2011 Mavericks

Lorenzen Wright may not be included I guess (RIP)

Then there goes Hakim Warrick who had a below-average NBA career but had significant minutes in Grizzlies back in 2006.

[ThePointForward]

Were there any "classic" Grizzlies teams in previous games?

[Andrew]

Not that I can recall. One of the Vancouver teams would feel more retro.
