    Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

    I was watching the '95 Knicks video Dave had on his channel. Ewing looks pretty bad. If not for the accessories/number, it would be hard to recognize him. It's like some guy was doing stunts instead of the movie star, but the director forgot to cut out the scenes where you can see his face.

    Off topic...I still don't understand why include the 1994-95 Knicks. I know they had a nice record, but the 1993-94 Knicks made the Finals. I personally prefer the 1991-92 Knicks - with Mark Jackson, X-Man, Kiki, and Gerald Wilkins. That team had some unforgettable playoff games.

      Oh....here's the ankle braces to replace black socks guys - only problem, the braces aren't long enough in some cases to represent longer socks, so it's a fix, but not the best.

      Yeah, still need a workaround for longer socks, but MJ looks so much better with it!

        Not only the knicks but also the jazz. I know the '98 Jazz made the finals but there were plenty of good jazz teams during the 90s that were memorable as well. I personally prefer the 1991-92 jazz.Malone and Stockton in their 20s with blue edwards, jeff malone and eaton in the lineup. 55 wins and wouldve made that 92 finals very interesting since they did take the eventual champs to three overtime during that season.

          Most definitely. Ewing looks Terrible. Strange, as I believe 2k13 actually had a hidden cyberface for him with a flat top, which was much better!

          ....................................

          The 95 Knicks were originally put in for the Jordan 'double nickel' challenge in 2k11 - they've kept them in ever since.

          Am 100% with you on the 1992 Knicks - man, was incredible watching those guys go toe to toe with the Bulls in the semis!

            No matter, done it myself now.


            Discovered that the left/right/back sig size ups are all EXACTLY the same for most of the Bulls players. - for all the talk 2k did about how great the new addition of 4 size ups was - we can't even edit 3 of them unless you play mycareer.
            How were you able to add the concords and breeds to Jordan, I have yet to figure it out?

              Do you talk about any of the legendary teams like in 2k12, so about certain players, their careers etc?

                Exactly. The 92 Jazz were a great great line up. They are much more interesting than the 98 Jazz. And that court art, one of the best ever.

                  Edit your player, go to the shoe section, and instead of selecting 'brand' select 'colourway' from the menu - go to the XI's and your edited shoes will be available.

                  Hope that makes sense?

                      Dave, how many Jordan shoes have you created?

                      As of now, i have created Jordan XI Bred and Concord and put them on 1996 Jordan.

                        As of now, i have created Jordan XI Bred and Concord and put them on 1996 Jordan.
                        I plan to have all of his classic ones done and dusted by Friday (I'll re-do all of them as the generic 2k ones, even though the colours are right on some, look awful)

                        I've done the XI's both Concord and Bred so far.

                        Gotta get my favs done - reg season Cherry red/white XII & XIII!

                          Man they shouldve kept that cyberface of ewing. Ewing doesn't look like Ewing without his flattop.

                            Agreed ^^^

                            That said, he actually plays like Patrick with those mid range J's and that drive to the paint from the baseline.

                            I can honestly say, I'm surprisingly pleased with how the legends aspect of the game turned out this year. I never used them at all in 2k15 unless they were traded onto current teams, and I skipped 2k14 entirely.

                            Just gotta hope to the hoops heavens that they change the sock colours in a patch!! The ankle braces work, but it's not great.


                            Here's a question - I've not started myleague yet, am just doing quick matches so far, will we be able to create additional jerseys for teams? I'm seeing a lot of court/jersey creation, but not sure how it's done.

                            Would love to get the Bulls their alt black/red pinstripes, and the Magic their blue/white pinstripe.
