Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?
This is what I have always loved about 2k. The overall immersion and differentiating of players through signature style was a game changer back in 2K7. As the series went on, we have had additional signature style and animations, but curiously it sometimes came at the expense of other signature animations. The Steve Nash signature licking his hands animation was so great and true to life. Now we have generic walk ups. Hoping with the inclusion of the 7 seconds or less Phoenix Suns that the animation is put back into the game. It would go a long way in terms of making Nash stand out as definitively Steve Nash and not a generic point guard. I love that 2k added in signature celebrations and mouthpieces are a tremendous aesthetic touch, but I would love for more signature animations to be available. The signature size ups sound promising, however I hope they aren't generic and actually look like the respective players signature handle. The more signature the better. Signature accessories are something that they have implemented to an extent and for the most part been successful in doing so. The mouthpieces, LeBron James "I promise" rubber bands, Jordan calf sleeve, and Dwight Howard Adidas Power arm sleeve are all examples of this, and 2k was the first game to introduce under shirt compression shirts (like Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and LeBron James wear to this day). However there is still room for improvement and much more signature accessories. Jordan jump man rubber bands, let it fly rubber bands, sweat bands with custom stitching such as the ones Penny Hardaway, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson and even Michael Jordan used. Compression shorts with team logos or player numbers on them. Those are just a few examples, but I'm hoping we just keep getting more signature everything. The new classic teams should get signature animations Antoine Walker's celebration, Q Richardson's head knock, the 2007 LeBron should not do the stomp celebration current LeBron does, but instead should throw up the Roc LA Familia sign etc. Hopefully there are signature lay ups for Nash similar to the ones he had back in 2K8 I believe for example.
