    Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

    This is a huge must for me this year - hoping Devs will re-include all the classic team arena music from 2k11/2k12. It's been missing for the last 4 years and really needs to make a come back to bring the teams to life:

      Definitely agree on the celebrations. Michael Jordan doesn't become Kevin Hart after a game winning basket. Also, MJ liked to grab the game ball after a title game.

        Also, I still think they need to improve the MJ signature "lean" dunk.

          You read my mind, he needs more than just his 'Rock the Cradle' and free throw line dunk - they need his signature one handed jam off two feet (One foot for older MJ)


          Another huge 'want' for me would be the return of the one handed ball fake and a signature triple threat stance for Mike, where he palms the ball while protecting it or preparing to duke/drive. I'm aware we have an animation similar to this in the game, but it's available to everyone. They could add a signature touch to it and have it for Mike exclusively.

            And not that we can't edit it, but they should stop giving MJ that black forearm band by default. As far as I know the only time he wore it like that was during the 1994-95 season (but went back to the black elbow band after a short while) and then during the 1995-96 season (again, went back to the black elbow band after a short while).

            Also, Iverson wore his band on the elbow, not forearm. It just looks totally wrong with this forearm band.

              He won't, 2k throws in classics but unfortunately quantity over quality. Also the generic throw ins not allowed to be edited is just ridiculous.

                Darn it, was hoping to just read this thread every now and then, without actually posting. That didn't happen. I'm so weak.

                    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.

                      If 2K16 Joe Dumars looked anything like his predecessor, yeah, there's a problem that'll have to be addressed there.

                        Also, if I'm not mistaken, MJ used to have a different shooting form early on, and a different FT routine early one, in the mid 80's. It was just somewhat different. Am I imagining this? Does anyone else see it?

                            This is correct. I adjusted all his forms until '91 Jordan where his shot was pretty much locked in for the rest of his career.

                              What form did you use for 86 and 89 Jordan? I can't settle on one.

                                This is what I had for both '86 & '89 Jordan:
