All except Pippen, who wanted too much money (isn't it amazing how the people who need the money always find a way to **** it up? he couldn't use the money they were giving him, even if it wasn't ideal?).

He will not, however, appear on any other team in the game. When asked if that was because Barkley only agreed to an appearance for USA Basketball, or if the game was not returning or adding to its "NBA's Greatest" suite of classic games, Argent demurred. "We're going to talk a bit more about that as we start making more announcements," Argent said, "but Charles will just appear on that 1992 team."

it looks like he'll be in the game, but the licensing for Team USA is separate
maybe we can just move him from one of the classic Bulls squads (unless this is a separate mode entirely)?

Really Pip? He's been in the last two 2k games, what's the problem?
Then again, when was the last NBA game we could play as Charles Barkley? You'd have to going back to SNES/Genesis days with the Bulls vs series.
Unless he has a separate licensing deal in a game it makes no sense because it gives him more exposure, doesn't lose him any money. You want people to think Scottie Pippen as much as possible so maybe you can translate that to another venture.

Barkley being in this game alone warrants a purchase from me( skipped 2k12 and other than 2k11, haven't bought a single 2K game other than 2k8 in the last 5-6 years). I'm hoping they can include one of his teams( 93 Suns?) and find a way to put him on there.

Anyone know if they will make you pay for a DLC again? I BET it'll be for the All Star stuff they rumored to have included in the game now. Where you can do skills comp, 3pt, dunk during AS weekend.
Whatever. This doesnt impress me at all. So I'll wait for more news on this game.

I think it's pretty smart on their part. Michael Jordan being a major part of 2k11 was what prompted me to buy that game. I'd imagine this would spike the interest of anyone who watched that team, but would be irrelevant to younger fans of the Kobe/Lebron era. At this point they've more or less maxed out the engine for this generation and they need a sales hook to keep people buying until the next generation of systems comes out.
Personally I think they should take the concept further and include all of the USA Olympic team gold medal winners( yes, that means excluding the 2004 embarrassment) starting from 1992.

Well, there's a couple of things I'm hoping for there. First, like you said, I'm hoping the USA teams aren't a part of a separate mode entirely (thus unable to be edited). Second, I'm hoping there's at least a couple of international opponents. Third, I'm hoping transactions can be made freely between classic teams, current teams, and Dream Teams from the moment we make our purchase (we had to wait until the DLC release last year).

Because he's not a Lakers fan. He's a Kobe d***rider, and can't go more than two or three posts without finding a way to push his Kobe agenda. He had an entire thread where he attempted to downplay Shaq's impact and significance. Any true Lakers fan would be proud of and respect guys like Magic and Shaq for what they did for their favorite team.

I've been trying to figure it out too; the 2008 team was much better. I think it's because unlike 2008, some of the 2012 players( notably Kobe and Lebron) commented that 2012 would beat 1992 with replies from Jordan, Barkley etc, which sparked the whole debate.

Yea they did, they implemented the Nba live right stick dribble, so 2k12 is the last year of Isomotion. They also implemented the Ea NHL Physics engine so defense will actually be possible.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-u0C0G9BXI
By implementing the live dribble stick with the 2k shot stick, the gameplay should feel much better.
Especilly if the physics engine produces actual defensive interactions, an un-canned animations.

Users will have to hold a modifier to shoot (one of the shoulder buttons along with the right stick). 2K made of point of stating, however, that the option to flip those two (using the modifier for dribbling instead of shooting) would in fact be available.
Also, button shooting remains an option, with all available shooting types.
Yung D-Will
08-15-2012, 03:11 PM

They have it like this, the default for the right stick is dribble moves, but if you hold the Left trigger it becomes the shot stick. But they also implemented an alternate control scheme that lets the shot stick be the default for the right stick , and then you hold the left trigger to use the right stick for dribble moves. I imagine a lot of people will use the the second one.

08-15-2012, 03:19 PM
Damn, that sounds awesome to me :D I always wanted the Live dribbling combined with the 2k shooting was never that good at dribbling with the left stick, I perform it fine in practice but in game time..
I think fans have been asking for this so for some time, if I remember the wishlists correctly.

Well yea because Isomotion itself has always been a limited system.
Mike Wang along with the producers of live 10 came out with the most fluent 1-1 dribble system I ever played and I belived If 2k every adopted it , it'd be the greatest game I ever played, but I never wanted to get rid of the shot stick so this is a perfect balence.

Actually their devs have discussed this before. Iverson can't be included unless they reach a seperate licensing deal with him to use his likeness because he's no longer in the NBA and he's not apart of the NBA Retired Player's Association.
00's Shaq would be no problem. They had 99' Shaq in the game last year.

I don't know this for certain, but there may be separate licensing deals for the right to use a player on a historic NBA team versus historic Olympic team. Again, I have no proof to back that up with but thinking about it, it'd kind of make sense, as they're clearly separate entities. As such, perhaps Barkley signed on for Olympic use, but not NBA. For the record, NBA 2K12 did in fact include a classic team that would have featured Barkley (the '85 76ers).

NBA 2K had All-Decade teams for the majority of their video game run (all the way through 2K10 I believe). In the early 2K games, those teams would feature legends wearing their own jerseys (so Magic Johnson, for example, would be wearing his Lakers uniform) and that was pretty fun for a little bit. However, obviously, there is zero authenticity in creating such teams, no connection to real life. It's a bunch of stars hypothetically running around in their primes on the same team. Further, after 2K2 or 2K3, these All-Decade teams stopped wearing their own team's jerseys and began wearing a super generic "All-Decade" uniform. Then, the home court for these teams looked ridiculous on top of everything else. It was just way too fantastical.
On the flip side, full classic rosters (with classic courts, classic logos, and classic opponents) has re-introduced that sense of realism and authenticity. Suddenly, it's not David Robinson randomly playing on the same team as Grant Hill while they wear white and lime green jerseys with "All '90's" written on the front. Instead, it's Robinson teaming up in the Alamodome with Tim Duncan, Avery Johnson, Sean Elliott and company, just like we remember. Similarly, even with Pippen missing, the Dream Team was a real actual team, so for me there's a lot more substance with these clubs than there'd ever be with All-Decade squads. As I said, the All-Decades were there for almost ten years and many people didn't even know they existed.

Co-sign. How about making sure the severs are stable enough to play the game online? How about taking the veto trade feature out of the online Association? How about bringing back the flex schedule? There are so many OTHER important things they need to fix on this game instead of adding features just for show while the importnat things remain broken...

There are so many OTHER important things they need to fix on this game instead of adding features just for show while the importnat things remain broken...
I'm sure this has already been said before, but the development team responsible for creating the art necessary for putting together the Dream Team is going to be completely separate from any employees responsible for gameplay and online functionality. As such, it's not necessarily a matter of 2K opting to focus on Dream Team jerseys in lieu of improving servers or something like that.
Further, I don't really find the Dream Team to be a "Just for Show" addition. I think it's all personal preference and in this case, I don't play 2K online, I don't participate in online Associations and I therefore don't have a vested interest in those features. That's not to say the Dream Team holds more weight, rather, I'm just illustrating that what one deems necessary or just for show might be something someone else highly values. And for me, if someone can find a way to sneak Scottie Pippen back onto the Dream Time while creating a roster featuring some generic forms of 1992 foes (Angola, Croatia), I'd be even more pleased with this addition.

Actually their devs have discussed this before. Iverson can't be included unless they reach a seperate licensing deal with him to use his likeness because he's no longer in the NBA and he's not apart of the NBA Retired Player's Association.
00's Shaq would be no problem. They had 99' Shaq in the game last year.
I can't imagine a deal with Iverson would be that difficult. He'd probably sign anything you put in front of him right now for a few grand in cash and a burrito.

I'm sure this has already been said before, but the development team responsible for creating the art necessary for putting together the Dream Team is going to be completely separate from any employees responsible for gameplay and online functionality. As such, it's not necessarily a matter of 2K opting to focus on Dream Team jerseys in lieu of improving servers or something like that.

I respect and understand that. i am just the opposite. i never play My player, or offline. I only play in Online Associations, so the Dream team feature,and the All-Star weekend options dont matter for me at all.

Well this one is not the Redeem team, they are the defending champ in 2008 and 2010.

This came from Chicagonow.com, though for some reason the link is coming up as an error. But here's a snippet:
[I]UPDATE No. 2: 2K Sports' PR has got back to me in regards to Scottie Pippen's status for NBA 2K13. Pippen will not be part of the game: on Dream Team or potential classic Chicago Bulls teams. The following is from Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports.

Fix the damn servers first 2k!:banghead: And I'd rather them add crew mode back instead of this whole dream team idea.

The classic teams are fun for some nostalgia but I usually get bored of them quick and jump right into franchise mode. Especially this year with Kobe Dwight Pau and Nash. :cheers:
Half of the fun last year was seeing what kind of deals I could get for bums like Walton and Blake.

Well yea because Isomotion itself has always been a limited system.
Mike Wang along with the producers of live 10 came out with the most fluent 1-1 dribble system I ever played and I belived If 2k every adopted it , it'd be the greatest game I ever played, but I never wanted to get rid of the shot stick so this is a perfect balence.
Isomotion sucked. The moves were so limited and clunky to pull off. I never used the right stick to shoot. I always used the button and had the timing down to nearly 100% with Kobes jumper.
Honestly the new dribble move controls are more exciting than The Dream Team.

Really Pip? He's been in the last two 2k games, what's the problem?
Then again, when was the last NBA game we could play as Charles Barkley? You'd have to going back to SNES/Genesis days with the Bulls vs series.
Charles Barkley was on NBA 2k6 for x-box 360 version only. that was the last time he was in a basketball game.

Really? I owned the xbox version of that but not the 360 one. I stand corrected...
