I been saying for years. If they would let you pick a team in the 2000s, 2010s, 90s, 80s, 70s. 60s, 50s and play a full season (and playoffs) against the teams of those decades with the real rosters.

I would go back to buying the game.

But most likely knowing 2K they gonna short change and only let you play with a couple specific teams in an era and you can't play a full schedule and playoffs against teams in that era.

Nah from what I’m understanding, it’s a legit thing..you pick an era, pick any team and play in that era. You can join/try to beat Bird & Magic, or tank and draft MJ. For the MJ era you can pick any team, meaning you can pick the Bulls and try to run off 8 straight or pick any team to prevent their dynasty. They’re doing the Shaq draft for that era, so theoretically you can have the Bulls, tank and draft Shaq to pair with MJ & Pipp. Same with the Kobe era (they’re starting that one off with the 03 draft, so you can draft Bron, Wade, Melo etc) & then the modern era.

Teams will have their uniforms and courts from whatever era you choose, and the correct teams will be in whatever era you pick..expansion teams (Heat, Hornets/Bobcats, Pelicans,Grizzles, Raptors, etc) won’t be available till the actual year they joined the league.







There is a Kobe Era

What was his era? Rip Kob but I feel like they just doing a “Kobe era” to capitalize of his passing..he wasn’t the main guy in the 3 peat, but he was for the 2 peat & even then it’s only a 2-3 year era. Tim Duncan and Bron have more of a claim for an “era”.

That Kobe era tho:patrice:i ain't gonna say to much because I know how nikkas be when it comes to Kobe lol
I mean, Kobe did go to 7 finals during that era 🤷🏾‍♂️
2000-2002 - 3 straight Championships
2003 - 2nd round exit
2004 - Finals
2005 - Missed playoffs
2006-07 - 2 years leading the league in scoring
2008 - Finals and MVP
2009-10 - 2 Championships and Finals MVP

One could definitely make the argument that it was a Kobe decade from 2000-2010

He shared it with Shaq and Duncan up until 2006. From 06-10 yeah that was clearly his "era"

About to find out what happens if Charlotte kept that Kobe pick.

They said the team will realistically change to the bobcats then back to hornets lol
Actually, the Charlotte Hornets became the New Orleans/OKC Hornets, then eventually the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Charlotte Bobcats were an expansion team who eventually changed their name back to the Hornets.

I don't mind buying this yearly because more than any other game, this game actually educates. My son has learned so much about the history of the NBA through this game because they have basically everyone noteworthy in here. Save for Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley, everyone is here. I'm getting the Championship Edition for this. I'm as excited for this as I was 2K11.

nikka I don't know and don't care


I'm just reporting the fact that it is indeed in the game. Rather or not it's deserving I could care less. He asked, I answered.

Unless his i took his question out of context..:jbhmm:

Yes, you took it out of context and you’re emotional.


He was saying there isn’t a Kobe era like there is a Magic/Bird era & MJ era and you said “there is a Kobe era” & I was asking you what you considered his era to be.
