It is exactly what 2K advertised it as; college teams featuring some of their all time great players. That's it. Its the college teams, featuring the players, playing in their current collegiate arena. If the quality is not what you feel it should be then simply don't buy it. Make them yourself if it's so easy and don't worry about others who pay for this if they deem it worth it.

Did I tell anyone else not to buy it? That's their business. I'm just calling it what it is: a very lazy attempt at cashing in on their college liscenses. Very little effort was put into this DLC that they want to charge an extra $15 for.

I'm not saying it would be easy to make the teams right, but I'm also not being paid to make it right.

And that's your opinion. 2K sees another opportunity to cash in on the licenses for the colleges they have. Slap some pro players on the teams and sell them. It's business. And totally elective. Don't want it. Don't buy. Think it's a lazy cash grab; don't buy. But stop making it some commentary on the company or state of affairs. Though I would like to use the teams in ML it was only 15$ and I will certainly play with them throughout the year so it's all good. They could mark down VC 99% and I wouldn't touch it because I don't see the value for MY gaming experience. Everyone is different. Anything with college in it I'm buying, period. If 2K wants to play on that great.

So that's why they got rid of michigan for michigan state.

They didn't want to pay the fab 5.

No Mateen Cleaves on Michigan State? What kinda sh*t is that?

Could somebody please tell me how the heck are they supposed to make players look like they did back when they were in college? And even if they did attempt to some of you would complain that they don't like right like you do with the classic players.

I'am not really into college stuff but if I had to put a price on this it'd be $5. I'd advice people who are interested in it to wait it out. I woudn't be surprised if the price drops big time in a month or two.

Literally, use your noodle bro. How do you think they put classic players in the game now? You think they had patrick ewing or larry bird come in and face scan them? Lol c'mon this sint rocket science. They'd use the same method they do now just with YOUNGER face reference. Jesus christ lol

Guess they revived dead players and face scanned them for classic teams too? Wow.

The sense of entitlement and lack of understanding of capitalism is mind boggling in this thread.

Since when should a game called NBA ship with free college teams and legendary players, both of which cost licensing fees?

Notice the words NBA and NCAA?? They're different.

Most casual basketball fans, like myself, do not care, or want, these add-ons and to include them with the base $59.99 game would mean other features, you know....NBA features, would occur and once again the name of this game is NBA !!!

Am I the only one who notices the irony of people in this thread calling the company greedy when they, in fact, are actually showing their own greed to get something for nothing? Lol, wow.....

It's been fascinating reading the comments pro/against this DLC. I'm not being politically correct in saying I agree with both sides, completely.

Per my earlier comment, I purchased this...and have some reservations post-purchase (notably the player models, absence of atmosphere, redundant jersey numbers, few teams).

Personally and echoing ODogg, I dropped my $15 to simply send a message folks will support a college product. I also now hope 2K will update this accordingly to address the critiques on this thread.

As World1 indicated, they have these player models to do throwbacks; they did it with the legends and with no problem. Numbers are easy. College atmosphere is already there in MyCareer; just carry it over to this mode. More teams? That will probably cost a little more...or hopefully not. Only a very small number of teams are outside the general NCAA license they paid for.

Any 2K buddies out there to drop some knowledge?

[crandolph]

UNC??? Duke??? Kentucky??? UCLA???

(sorry if thats been asked. I didnt have time to read thru all the comments...)

You're absolutely right. In fact lets take it one step further. Since this is NBA 2017 any and all non current NBA teams and players shouldn't be included in the base game. That means that historic players and teams and international players and teams should be stripped away from the game. Users will then have to purchase them separately in the form of day one dlc.

This is 2k being greedy. People are acting so blasé about it because day one dlc has become so common in the industry. What makes it worse is that this specific case is completely half hearted. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first of many attempts to further monetize the game.

As far as effort and man power is concerned just look at the ultimate base roster that a modder made for 2k14. It has over 250 teams on it. From current to historic. Even Olympic teams and legend teams. If one guy can do that by himself for free than I'm sure a company like 2k can do even better.

Really hard for me to play with retro players wearing baggy shorts. I would've preferred historic teams with their gear and courts. But still cool to offer this.

Hard for me to play with retro players in their college forms and build who look like they look NOW! lol @ Mike Bibby, Deron Williams and Allen Iverson for example...

Hell look at Ray Allen too! Lmao! They could have at least made them young! XD! Like i said for 2k all star weekend, right stick dribble moves, facescan and numerous other things... "Don't steal ideas if you won't do it better or just like it!" Just leave it out! Be yourself.

I wish they offered the freedom to make a league with rankings and a 64 team tournament at the end. With all the customization we could make our own college game at this point. There are so many courts and uni's already being shared.
