Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

Just saw this thread again. I think I spent here some time last year, and hopefully devs are still reading this. Keep fighting the good fight, Dave.

Doin my best brother!

So, since this thread's been bumped, what are the retro needs/requests from here? All told, what kind of progress was made on all the players who were shared in this thread earlier?

Besides improving the classic players faces... Please update the bulkness of MJ's leg sleeve and better placement, also thin legs for the late 90s MJ




Another elbow band version (longer) would be nice too

I think that during the 1997-98 season MJ wore shorter socks (a-la T-Mac), which is why his legs seemed skinnier/longer (though he may have lost some weight before that season, to go back to what he was before retirement).

Unlike the early 90's MJ, who wore longer socks:




Also, I'll say this again: We need the MJ red-black calf sleeve as a knee pad as well. Late 80's MJ wore it like this:

Custom/signature celebrations.

I don't want to see Mike dancing or chest bumping team mates after a huge play. He NEVER did that. (Remember that awkward moment when he hit the 'game winning' shot in the allstar game and Iverson chest bumped him.....lol)

We should have signature reactions like THE shrug (Not the generic shrug already in game) definitely the iconic fist pump, and also I LOVE Jordan's 'in rhythm', back peddling jog, with either the tongue wagging or a smile.

^Great idea. Did 2K ever get around to adding back the unique shiny jersey numbers for those early 90's Bulls teams?

Anywho, here's a bump of some observations I made earlier in the thread, in terms of who may need some work and which jerseys need adjusting (1989 Pistons!)

Spoiler

A couple more to add to the drawing board.

1991 Tim Hardaway:





1991 Mark Price... though I don't hold that against next gen, because he was one of the few on last gen who always looked mind-blowingly atrocious as well.





1986 Bill Walton (not a bad '77 Walton, though)





Also, those 1989 Pistons jerseys are jaaaaacked up.

I don't believe so, I will double check though.

That said, with some perseverance, I think I helped get the Bulls black/red pinstripe alts and the Magic Blue/white pinstripe alts put in the game. I'm hoping they'll be included from the get go this time around.

Great examples ^ Tim Hardaway is in need of a serious overhaul.

I'd most definitely add Patrick Ewing, John Starks and Latrell Sprewell to that list too.
