Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

glad I made this thread lol I love classic teams.

Also how come most classic team Arenas are dimly Lit? They should have the correct lighting for the stadiums

Also need to bring back the old school music and atmosphere sounds from 2k11 and 12

Can't see why MJ would continue to allow his likeness in 2K if it continues to go down this route. Imagine what he thinks when he sees unique abstract artist take on his face? We may lose MJ all together soon

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

The legends and their individuality has been hugely 'nerfed' since 2k11.

We've lost pretty much all the animations that made players stand out.

*Jordan's one handed ball fake.
*MJ's classic switch of hands layup (The Move).
*Several of MJ's layups from his original package in 2k11/12.
*Hakeem No longer has his 'Dream Shake'.
*No finger wave from Dikembe.
*No dunk packages as there USED to be for Carter, Kemp and Wilkins.
*Iverson doesn't have his signature crossover.

The list goes on.

You'd think that in the transition to more powerful consoles, they'd be including MORE content like this, instead, they're removing it to the point where the legends are starting to feel generic now.

As much as it's painful to go back and play older 2k's because they just feel so off, control wise, all this really makes me miss 2k11/2k12.

Hell, even 2k13 - especially when they managed to mod the codes to it and tons of legends were added that were previously locked on the disk.


One of my video's below from 2k12 - BEAUTIFUL..........(And yeah, before one of you beady eyed gentlemen points it out - I wasn't recreating the finals here, hence the white shoes )

The attention to detail with the classic players/rosters is why I still have my 360 plugged in, so I can pop in 2K11 & 2K12.

I'm not a game designer/programmer, so I won't pretend I know how these things work, but surely you'd think if you could update players like David Robinson and Patrick Ewing, the G.O.A.T. would get an update as well. Strange that he still looks partially like an alien.

I really doubt a 50 year old billionaire cares much about his likeness in a video game. He looks just like Jordan, just not perfect, but I get your point. I'm more annoyed they can't give him his goatee for dream team. How hard can that detail really be? Carlos boozer painted hair on his real head for a game, but these dudes can't photoshop some chin hair. Cmon.

You'd be surprised.

The ego's on some of these guys are enormous.

damn... even that hesitation move was pretty accurate to mj. what is 2k thinking taking these wonderful things out of the game.

...only to re-introduce is later down the line and promote it as being 'new'.

man, i've gotta reinstall 2k11 - for some reason it looks steps above of what we have now. smooth responsive gameplay ftw.

Posted this in another thread but thought it was INCREDIBLY relevant.

Here's what the Art team over at EA can do with someone as legendary as Bruce Lee.....

Yet we don't get anywhere near the same standard with MJ, another one of a kind legend...

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

I'm looking for a Michael Jordan release and form that's closer to his in this video. https://youtu.be/RGa1s2k9MO4 (3:05 mark)

It's Hard to find smh

I think they should work on the cheerleaders body types. Not all of them are that skinny (thank God). Even if you ignore the faces, the bodies are just creepy.

Also, they look like robots. Remind me of...

Damn that's awesome. Might have to hunt down something similar myself. Legs seem to kick out more on these jumpers.

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

Will test that out tonight!

Really hoping 2k sort out their shot edit screen this year and let us rotate the damn players so we can see what the shot looks like from all angles - It's been a nightmare trying to assign some of the legends a decent form in 2k16.
