This means that players will get to see the legends of basketball like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and more come together and face-off against the current teams.
Charles Barkley, who is the 1993 NBA Most Valuable Player, has previously declined to appear in the game with the 1985 Philadelphia 76ers in "NBA 2K12," Polygon reported.
Polygon also reported that Scottie Pippen, who was also difficult to sign, refused to be included in the game at first, but was convinced otherwise by his wife and son.
The full 1992 "Dream Team" roster will be included in the game, as confirmed by Ronnie 2K on Twitter.
