Good news
I also hope they could fill the teams that already in the game. Generic players -btw the same guy- kill the immersion.

I hope they can get a few of the major missing names in the game at least. I'd also be in favour of dropping the placeholder players completely, or at least making them slightly less copy and paste. I'd rather have teams of six to eight real players than full teams that have been filled out with generics, given the choice.

All-Decade/Decade All-Stars are back!









Love that they're using jerseys based on All-Star uniforms from their respective decades. Great to see these squads in the game again!

Aaaand I don't see Barkley, not surprised. I still think they could turn it into good PR, but hey... 1 mil is too much compared to those 157 mils.

No question. I assume he and Reggie will be absent again. As you said, it would be a tremendous show of goodwill and great PR, on top of great content for the game. But I suppose executives deserve that fat bonus just as much, right?

Agree that I like how they worked the uniforms about the All-Star uniforms from one of the years in each decade. Nice touch.

I was happy by the news.
Now, i just hope they dont remove any classic team for this...
BTW, mostly the same CF for all classic players, Shaq still look strange. Pippen CF seems different than on previous versions, but he looks like T-Mac

I am disturbed that Dwight Howard is in that pic... give it to AD.

I guess five of Dwight Howard's eight All-Star selections did come in the 2010s, though none of them after 2014.

He was on the verge of being an NBA champion and next big mega star before wearing out his welcome in Orlando.

I do like the idea of the jerseys, something I felt that should have been done a long time ago. I would prefer the actual jersey instead of a generic one. Hell, I remember making retro all star jerseys for the decade teams in Live 2005

NBA Live ended up doing it too, featuring some designs for the Decade All-Stars that were definitely inspired by All-Star jerseys worn during the decade. As with these All-Decade teams though, they weren't quite the exact design. I do think it works, though.

Please don't stop at 80's, 90's 00's and 10's. There were enough quality players in the 70's for east and west decade teams, especially if ABA players are eligible.

Please, please add a Bullets team. 1974-75 preferred over the 1977-78 Championship team, A healthy Phil Chenier + Kevin Porter + A rookie Truck Robinson = A way better lineup.
Please, please, please have the correct 76ers. 1982-83, no knock on chucklehead, but the fo-fo-fo(oop's fo-fi-fo learn to count, moses)team is regarded as one of the top 10 of all time.
Please, please, please, please have the final ABA Finals Nuggets Vs Nets. Two stellar teams, 121.9 PPG(not a typo the nuggets could f'ng score) Vs the Doctor himself. Sadly, even if they only use the teams that got absorbed into the NBA, licensing would be a nightmare.
And just to be different, the 1946 BAA New York Knickerbockers at the Toronto Huskies. Not great teams but historically important.

There's going to be a 70s team, as well as a 50s/60s squad. Presumably they only spotlighted the 80s until today in the screenshots as those are the decades most people are likely the most familiar with.

NBA 2K20 will feature these 6 new Historic Teams :
2015-16 Cleveland Cavaliers
2013-14 San Antonio Spurs
2014-14 LA Clippers
2009-10 Portland Trailblazers
2006-07 Washington Wizards
2002-03 Phoenix Suns

I believe I mentioned at least four or five of those in my series of articles, so that's cool to see.

Have been begging for that Wizards team for ages... I actually constructed a couple of those teams myself in 2K19's MyTEAM. They always find a way to make me get the game... totally awesome.

Surprised not to see the 2009-10 Hawks.

To those that create a retro season mod. If you replace teams that are currently in the game. Can ya'll replace all those retro teams from the 2010's? Majority of those teams aren't even classic retro teams. And nobody cares about the lebron team cause majority of his fans are going to play with the lakers. As for 2k, I wish they would pay the NBA player association so you can put Barkley and Miller in the game. Everyone wants more classic teams from the 90s. Like the 96 atlanta hawks with Mutombo and Steve Smith. Or the 92 knicks and 98 hornets. Also, i wish they had the retro teams wear the warmsups that they wore from that era.
