This was my favorite team to play with David West was the mid range assassin. Throwing oops to Tyson with CP3. Can't leave Peja open. They had no bench. So everyone stamina was crazy high
Oh yeah, on 2k19 theres the 07-08 NOLH, and they removed it in abt the newer 2k's making the Pelicans the only team that had no classic team besides the 90s or 80s Suns/Pacers.
I think they removed the 1971 Hawks because after Walt Bellamy died, they lost his rights via his camp and it made their team almost unplayable since they had 2 allstars but only like 4 players instead of 3 allstars.
You forgot about the 08 Hornets from 2K18 & 2K19. Honestly idk how they don’t have more classic teams in the game and it annoys me that the Eras teams aren’t playable in Play Now cuz that could essentially add like 80 more classic teams. I seriously have made a list of like 60 or 70 fun historic teams that have at least 8 players in the game already and 2k could easily make, but for some reason none of them are in the game
Also I know Chris Webber isn't officially in the game anymore but I still was able to find his player model in the game so I could put him in if I were to make a roster but for the sake of making a list of teams 2k could officially add in you could easily replace them with the '19 Sixers
@@FinnishSportsGamer this is a solid list. Lmk when you make the roster. Also would you consider adding a Celtics team from the 70s? People forget that they were pretty good then with prime Dave Cowens, Havlicek, etc
@@the_boss2194 I wanted to include them but there weren't enough players unfortunately. Havlicek is honestly one of the most underrated players in NBA history though so I hope 2k is eventually able to get the rights to more players from that team and put them in the game
If y’all wanna play with classic teams that aren’t in the official game I recommend playing with Mjwizards retro rosters. He creates the players that are missing from the current classic teams and he makes his own classic teams as well!
Bro, as a european, when i first figured they had euroleague rosters, i was so mad they removed it, i don't understand why it was a Great marketing, also who wouldn't Like a cool adition of them playing against NBA Teams that would be cool
The 92 USA Dream Team with Barkley was removed. That should have been #1. They were included in 2k13 and 2k17. The 86 Rockets was never on NBA2k but I remember that with NBA 2k12 it could be easily modded and customized on any game system. There was a lot of hidden players in 2k12. You probably saw the 86 Rockets on a modified roster. That celebrity team was silly but I remember embarrassing my cousin with Justin Bieber, lol. Yeah as people mentioned the 84-85 76ers did not win the championship it was the 82-83 sixers who won it(wish that team would be included in future games tho)
Not that it matters to you but 2k17 had a bunch of Fiba teams (inc. the Australian Boomers), now that was a cool addition I wish they kept the rights to. Also NBA2k have partnered with the Australian NBL for promotion this year so maybe we will see NBL teams in a release one day?
Philadelphia 76ers won the finals in 1983 not 1985. it's the same year Moses Malone predicted a sweep of the playoffs, but the Milwaukee Bucks won one game. They where the only team to do so. They swept the lakers 4-0.
They were never on 2k sir Lmaoo.. trust me I play 2k… Ralph and Hakeem were NEVER on 2k together, ur swearing for no reason and ur crazy 😂 still love u bro 😂
94-95 Bulls and the 96-97 Bulls were on 2K11 bc of the Jordan Challenge, but in 2K23, the 94-95 and 96-97 Bulls were back but it remains as a hidden team, only accesible on the Roster Editor for 2K23 PC, also the 88-89 Hawks, the 91-92 Blazers, the 89-90 Pistons and the 96-97 Jazz
What is the reasoning why they remove all old teams and even jerseys. Like why. Little stuff like that makes 2K feel good. Bring back everything. I know stuff with the rights bs but still. I remember they had all the international teams in 2K. That was a cool feature. And even team USA. But yea I just needed to vent about this game. Because wow
I Remember Playing As Some Of The Euroleague Teams In 2K16, I Was 16 At The Time, That's What Really Introduced Me To The Euroleague. I Started Watching The Euroleague Because Of This & I Still Watch Them To This Day. Along With Other Leagues Such As The Basketball Champions League & Many Others.
It's possibly a Mandela effect. To this day I promise I heard something in a director's commentary on a DVD that everyone Ive mentioned it to has said I need to quit smoking lol
