The updated rim and net physics look great with the updated lighting and fixing the color issues. The arenas look so much better now.

Is there a 1988-89 MJ hairstyle? He didn't have the 1984-1987 hairstyle anymore, was almost bold but still had a little bit of hair. It was missing from previous titles.

can you elaborate on this?

Here are some oof the little things I have seen.

• Two guys in the game for the same length of time, one guy is significantly more sweaty that the other. The sweatier guy is my point guard who has been doing a lot more running and scoring.
• Wemby is a problem. He plays like himself and most guys do. I drive a lot and get layups, but when he is in there, you can’t get most shots past him. With a guy with a dynamic layup package, you can’t get some shots by him, but it’s a good give and take as it should be. Very dynamic things happening at the hoop.
• People in the stands have the light up synched bracelets. Might have been there last year but I didn’t notice it.
• There was a section in the pregame where a cheerleader was doing a dance and the section of the crowd was doing the same dance.
• Wemby was already injured to start the game. There was a physical play involving him and he was grabbing his knee right after the play but kept going.
• There are lots of new shirt types in the crowd with different brands.
• The crow wears throwbacks for retired players.

There is a lot more, I am just gathering these as I play. The little things are so cool and drive the game being neat and fun. I love them so much. Reminds me a lot of what EA “used” to do with “it’s in the game.” So far loving this game. It is a blast.
