2K Sports today announced that All-Time teams for the 30 current NBA franchises will be featured in NBA 2K18. With a deep collection of rights to players from the past that have been built up since first being introduced in 2010 the developers have the ability to fill out compelling rosters for most of the teams in the league.
The pool of players available for those All-Time teams will be expanding as there will be 16 new classic teams debuting as well. Assuming none of the teams in NBA 2K17 are removed, that would take the total number of classic teams to 61 for 2K18.
There have been a few glaring player omissions that would be hard to ignore if left off All-Time teams, but it’s possible the likes of Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller will have relented, signing off to appear in the game this year if the money was right.
