"NBA 2K17" gets more hyped up as it is confirmed that the entirety of the 2016 United States Basketball Men's National Team as well as its coach, Mike Krzyzewski, will be included in the game by the time it is released on Sept. 20.
According to Movie News Guide, the implication of this is that 2K Sports will now be able to use the this team's symbols as well as getting Krzyzewski's full body scan. This team includes all-star players Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson and DeMarcus Cousins. Paul George, the game's cover athlete, will also be playing on this team.
Of course, these players have appeared on their own teams in 2K games, but this is considered to be the first time for these players to officially appear as a group. Furthermore, it might be possible that this will lead to more Olympic-related content for the game as this team will serve as the herald of the 2016 Summer Olympics, which will start on Aug. 6.
Along with this, the 1992 USA Basketball Dream Team will come as a pre-order bonus for "NBA 2K17." This means that even up to date, Scottie Pippen and Charles Barkley are still having good deals with 2K Games. After all, it was pretty difficult for 2K to sign up the two players back when they wanted to bring the team back in "NBA 2k13." Additionally, according to Tamworth Herald, other NBA Hall of Famers are included on this roster, such as Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone and David Robinson. As such, the Dream Team is considered to be the greatest team ever assembled in basketball history.
"NBA 2K17" will be launched for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and the PC. As for those who pre-ordered the game, it will be delivered by Sept. 16.
