Agreed. I feel the same way about the article. Those team selections are curious and other team ommisions are also curious...ie: 97-98 Lakers sans Van Exel when any of the 2000-03 Lakers championship teams could have been included instead, not lacking for any / lacking for less significant players.

1993 Bulls vs Suns, Jordan vs Barkley in a video game can't happen. It's all about the ego that is Charles Barkley. So turrible.

Lol, it is though. Dude could've got paid to be in a video game. In other words he would've been 250K, 500K, or whatever 2K was willing to pay him, richer. He'd be doing exactly what he's doing at this very moment, whether it's sitting on his ***, gambling, eating, or sleeping.

I don't know the details but I don't understand why you turn this down. You gain nothing from withholding your likeness from the game except for disdain from your fans (well, at least the fans who know the player is at fault and not the developer). Even if you don't play the game you're getting paid to so absolutely nothing, lol. The game is not centered around him so he wouldn't be asked to do any major marketing, his life would be excactly the same.

Seriously, what is the worst that can happen? Your cyberface isn't perfect? Your ratings aren't what you want them to be? You get dunked on by a digital 8 ft dude covered in accessories? You get your ankles broken by Mbah a Moute? You get put in a mix on Youtube?

Come on Chuck!

Why are people demanding an explanation for this from 2k

Dont get me wrong, I agree with you wholeheartedly.. I only meant his current tv salary, and things like Tmobile

Again, I happen to think he's being who he is, and its just a game...

Id still pay for the DLC to have him in if it generated enough for him to be in because that Suns team deserve to be apart of this game.

SMH and Reggie.. no words at all.

[eDotd]

Reggie is just salty because Doris Burke took his sister's cookies.

Don't get it though ..its just a game.

Even Mj is there. We can't even get the dream team going on cause chuck wants to be defiant in his old age

What I think they should have done for Reggie was do the 98 Pacers and have Chris Mullin as the legend. They can leave Miller as a generic. There are a BUNCH of great Reggie CAPs on 2k Share.

[SouthBeach]

In theory, 2K COULD make a "generic" player with all of the attributes that they likely would have assigned to "Charles Barkley" without using his likeness; similar to Roster Player in NBA Live '97/'98 etc...right?

I doubt 2K would go about implementing Charles Barkley that way though.

Just a thought.
