My personal opinion, which I also stated in another thread about the Euroleague, is that I really wouldn't want them to put effort into creating international teams just because it would probably mean they had to leave someting else NBA related out, like gameplay.

EA Sports has it because they are a more international company. They have the FIFA series and they focus more on international games than 2K does.

International FIBA things is mode than I think people would play once or twice and then go back to the NBA so the mode would probably get boring.
I own NBA Live 10 too, and I've tried the FIBA thing twice I think. It's not just that interesting.

I created a thread about this and although most people didn't seem to care about FIBA etc.. I think it would be addon.

Although it is a little more complex than we would imagine as FIBA rules and courts would have to be added so there is some effort that needs consideration.

Although I agree with you that EA's FIFA has more of an "International Flair" to it due to the nature of the sport but given the current socio-economic market which is largely influenced by globalization, it should be something that 2K needs to take into account.

The NBA is the Number 1 sports franchise in terms of global growth and marketing, football/soccer has always been the global sport but the NBA has mushroomed rapidly and as the NBA's vision of expanding globally they should consider FIBA (like they do with EA) in order to increase growth.

I know you personally dont care much about teams outside the NBA but the game itself sells extremely well internationally. If I remember correctly the older Madden games had some teams outside the NFL too?

It sells well internationally cause people care about the NBA. They make a great NBA game and there is where their focus should lie; to make the best NBA game possible which also appeals to people international.

I have nothing against adding FIBA teams, but I don't want them to spend 30% of the time producing an NBA game into trying to get accurate international teams. That means that some gameplay and NBA features are omitted.

Thanks for comments guys
I understand that we all want best for NBA,NBA teams and NBA gameplay,but I think if 2K install only 5 or 6 national teams(not 16 as I mentioned before) it will be great!Imagine Rose vs Rubio,Gasol vs Nowitzki with new 2k gameplay.You guys mentioned FIBA rules,but who cares about that(mat a fact new FIBA 3-point 6,75 since october 1).All in all it`s all about 2k crew

Not saying I don't want it to be in the game (not to ruin it for others who want it), but I just don't care about it and won't play it even once.
