2k18 feature all-time teams for all 30 franchises (alongside the specific teams)

As much as I love Bev, Sam Cassell should have made it over him

 

They left my boy Moses Malone off the team.

 

Love Beverley and Mobley.......but Cassell and Elie should be there in their place due to their contributions for the 2 championship teams.

Also, Hakeem should be 99.

 

FWIW, I think they lost the rights to Moses when he passed.

No Rudy is tough. Ill likely edit all the rosters as many key players are missing. (Miller, Barkley, etc)

 

Great. We traded an All Time Great Rocket for CP.

 

TMAC!!!! The LEGEND!!!! @swyyyguy

 

Have to admit this is a really cool feature, it would be cool to just do a big tournament, watch it, and see how things would play out.



Haha....Dallas sucks...

 

The All-Time teams are a very nice addition. A lot of different line ups you can use with each team. I might be even more excited about the new classic teams though. A lot of 2000's teams that I can actually remember watching play. Looks like Peja is going to be on three different teams! I can't wait to start nailing threes with him. I was kind of hoping they would have added the 1998-99 Rockets. It wasn't the greatest team ever but it would be nice to play with Hakeem, Drexler, Barkley, and Pippen with the pajama jerseys and the Compaq Center. They would have been a better choice then the 2005-06 Grizzlies.

I will definitely be playing a lot of games with the classic teams. A lot of fun teams. 2001-02 Kings, 2006-07 Warriors, 2007-08 Nuggets, 2007-08 Hornets, 2011-12 Thunder will be the teams I'll play most with.

Here are the 17 new classic teams if you haven't seen the list yet.

I know they weren't worthy of being all timers, but the amateur strategist in me wants the 2008 Artest/Barrier combination. Imagine a defense with those two guys, Bev, and Hakeem out there at the same time. And you know the offense would still run smooth because you'd always have McGrady, Drexler or Harden on the floor (plus one of Sampson, Yao, and Hakeem)

No Rasheed Wallace? Wtf?

Also no Gilbert Arenas on the Wiz.

 

This game has Allen Iverson rated as a 97

 

And still no Reggie or Charles.

 

I don't know why Reggie isn't in it but Charles won't go in any of these games apparently until 2k gives a certain amount of money to retired players.

 

certain players probably not in because of licensing

 

Dammit. I wasn't going to buy 2k18 cause I'm one of those "every other year" types but this won me over. Every 2k I would download or craft a All-Time roster for the whole league similar to what they just concocted with lots of created players so this takes a lot of work out of the equation but it still isn't perfect. I usually aim for stars to only be on one franchise (Tmac in Orlando, no Tmac in Houston, Shaq in LA, not in Orlando etc.). But omissions like no Reggie Miller, Rasheed Wallace, Barkley, Gilbert Arenas among others is enough to make it so I'll be reworking rosters just as much in this game.

I always had Francis as the starting PG in All-time teams, so it's surprising to see Harden being given the Starting PG since Tmac and Drexler are in the starting lineup (which eats at my "players in one franchise only" ocd. Drexler should be in Portland etc.) I also think Francis should at least be a 90 or 91 since this is prime Franchise.

Glad to see cat there. I would've preferred Aaron Brooks to Beverley.

 

Kenny Smith is way, way too highly rated here. 86 deez nuts...

 

MOSES MALONE IS A GAWDAMN ROCKET!

31 and 15 and two MVPS. 6 years on the Rockets which is way more than any other team. MOSES IS A GAWDAMN ROCKET!
