Player Notes
- On the 70-71 Atlanta Hawks historical team, PF Bill Bridges was not included in the game, although he was on the team in the NBA 2K16 version at 78 OVR.
- On the 04-05 Phoenix Suns historical team, PG Steve Nash was not included in the game, although he was the best player on the team in the NBA 2K16 version at 92 OVR. Also on the 02-03 Dallas Mavericks team, PG Steve Nash was also left off the game, when he was rated 85 OVR last year for the team. A later roster update arrived, adding Steve Nash to the 02-03 Dallas Mavericks (86 OVR) and 04-05 Phoenix Suns (93 OVR). The move rooted from the fact that the NBA star is already retired, and thus giving the licensing agreement a different perspective.
- On the 99-00 Portland Trail Blazers historical team, C Jermaine O'Neal was not included in the game, although he was on the team in the NBA 2K16 version at 74 OVR.
- On the 07-08 Boston Celtics historical team, PF Glen Davis was not included in the game, although he was on the team in the NBA 2K16 version at 74 OVR.
- On the 12-13 Miami Heat historical team, PF Rashard Lewis was not included in the game, although he was on the team in the NBA 2K16 version at 70 OVR.
