2K Sports just posted a brand new NBA 2K17 trailer celebrating the Dream Team complete with current and legacy players. The trailer is 1:36 and is set to the "Star Spangled Banner" -- and might we say quite timely with the Olympics ongoing.
Quote:
As previously announced, both teams will be featured in the next iteration of the top-rated and top-selling NBA video game simulation series*, in addition to renowned Duke University and USA Basketball coach, Mike Krzyzewski, who is making his debut in the NBA 2K series. Fans who pre-order NBA 2K17 will receive the legendary 1992 USA Basketball “Dream Team”, along with a special USA Basketball MyTEAM card and MyPLAYER jersey to fully customize their USA Basketball experience.
Comprised of NBA Hall of Famers, including Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone and David Robinson, the 1992 “Dream Team” is universally considered one of, if not the greatest, team ever assembled in basketball history. The 2016 USA Basketball team includes NBA 2K17 cover athlete Paul George and Team 2K athletes Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, and Kyrie Irving.
I'm really not concerned, as long as they nail the current players. I don't want Joe Ingles looking like a CAP, or Tibor Pleiss literally having his hair painted onto his forehead. And I don't want the rookies to have those ridiculously wide torsos with their shoulder width set at 0, so guys like Porzingis, Lyles, etc. don't look like they are 350 lbs.
I can deal with legends being a little off. As long as I can tell who they are, and they play the way they are supposed to play (looking at you, poor excuse of a John Stockton), then I'll be happy.
That DRob isnt perfect but he looks soooo much better man....I didnt even want to play with him in 2K16 because of how off he looked, lol
So did Ewing, Cousins, and Melo imo. That MJ looked better than the one in that screenshot debacle but he still needs a goatee. 2k really needs to farm out legends to the pc community so they can focus on current players. I don't know if this is possible but maybe they could alert these PC modders to which legends will be featured in the game after they sign a non-disclosure agreement or something. That Iverson CF from last year was a travesty especially for a former 5 time cover athlete! Good job on the video 2k..

Lol, polar opposites here. I don't care how the current day players look as I never use them, would much rather the legends be polished.
Maybe there's a separate game in there somewhere for 2k.....I know money is always an issue, but a separate entity focusing on legends only would be awesome. That way you guys could have the main game focused on your current day ballers and we old heads could get our LEGIT fix too.
I am not even excited as i used to be when the first trailer would usually be dropped, but maybe that's not a bad thing, there's more room to be impressed when the game actually comes out and i try it myself.

A man can dream, right?
I use legends every year and they are a big part of my experience. But you have to realize they will never get as much attention as current players, right?
And I would hate for the two to be separated and I think that'd be a really bad business idea for 2k as well.

Yeah of course dude. Current players will always get the nod over the classics. That's just how it is. As most of us have said - we're just grateful to have them in the first place.
To be perfectly honest, I wasn't thinking in business terms, I was thinking in my own selfish terms. Heh. I'm sure we'd all want a game totally catered for our own needs.
Just have to take what 2k gives us.
Regardless of the gripes, this game will be a day 1 purchase for me.

Haha nothing wrong with that! It's a shame face scanning technology has remain stagnate for 2k. I remember on the original Rainbow Six Vegas, I was able to scan a picture of Kiefer Sutherland onto my guy to make Jack Bauer. It was awesome.

Jack Bauer? Really? That would've been sweet!!
Yeah man, I can only imagine the kind of stuff we could cook up with that kind of tech. Would definitely make life a lot easier in terms of player creation!
Anyhow, perhaps when we get some more footage from this years game, we'll be pleasantly surprised - things may not be as bad as some of us initially think....(Wishful thinking)

It was so hilarious hearing the reactions. "WTF?! Jack Bauer's coming!"
Quick question in regards to team USA. Has it been confirmed anywhere it's a "play now"only function? Not intertwined info any other modes?
I don't think we know that yet. The closest I've gotten to concrete information has come from a really brief Game Informer article. It reads like a random blog post but says:

If 2k was smart they should sell Legends and Current separately just for one year to see if there's interest in a standalone Legends game. If that's possible and it sells well expect them to improve the details, player models, retro stadiums etc, since that would be their focus. I expect this to be the way of the future as a business stand point there's only so much memory to put on a single disc.

I think it'd be less costly to just invest in legends in their current game and not have two games competing against each other.

I'm dreaming right with you, bro. I could give a damn about current players. I don't even touch that part of the game. Hell, I'm mad they're putting some recent modern teams in with the Legends. If 2K ever did a Legends only game, I'd be all over that.
I don't know if anyone watched the last 2KTV episode but a quick tidbit I picked up on is we'll be able to face scan using our phones now! Back to the trailer and topic everyone is discussing tho, I've always wondered, why couldn't they just find some high-resolution pics of the legends and scan them that way or do like 3D prints which I know would be time consuming. I've just always wondered lol

Same here dude.
Quick match or my league with classic teams only. I don't touch any current teams nor any other game modes.
Would snap up a legends only game in a heart beat. Would actually pay big coin for that too.
