Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

I feel in a year or so 2k will go all out on Legends like they did for 2k12 right now they have their priorities set with improving Mycareer, Myleague, Gameplay and Presentation. When they develop those modes to a substandard level where gamers are satisfied then we'll see 2k move on to development of the finer details like legend likeness, accessories and accurate arena's and authentic arena crowd noises.

Right? How do you give Bulls Grant his Magic goggles colors? WTF, 2K?

And I hate how they give 1989 Bulls Grant goggles. Horace didn't start wearing goggles until the 1990-1991 season.

It's interesting how ridiculous these observations can sometimes read on paper. But in all honesty, when playing the game—for those who were even semi-casual observers of 90's basketball—getting those details right makes a huge difference.

Also, not to beat a dead horse but... last gen 2K had Horace Grant properly goggle-less in 1989.

Yeah the immersion is what i look for while i play a sport video game. Without any kind of immersion it just wouldnt feel right.

Wow, Kerr finally looks great.

Now why can't 2K do that to ALL Legends?

Kerr is an active coach, so he definitely gets more attention than others.

Can tell by the footage and stills that his entire cyberface has been upgraded this year.

Same for Pippen, Ewing & Bird.

Guess they didn't get the multipage memo about MJ......

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

Now I know. The 2K guys are trying to make MJ mad and get him to come back and play again. They know the guy can't ignore a challenge. They are saying to him: "You haven't played in a while, you can't play no more. You'll have to play again and prove you deserve a new cyberface. Let's see what you got!".

Surprised he hasn't had his lawyers turn up at 2k studios and ball them out for this whole debacle to be honest.

We all know how Mike can be sometimes.....

I wouldn't be surprised if he had anything to do with the tattoo lawsuit...

Just so you guys know, 2k only updated Kerr because they scanned him in as a coach finally this year. That's why it's literally old Kerr (though he looks pretty much the same even after all these years) with young Kerr hair.

I don't understand why they won't do this for Jordan and just touch him up after

Random question:

What's our roster creation options looking like this year? Has individual player DNA download returned? Is it possible to create teams for Quick Play and save them within a roster? Or export them from Franchise?

Good question and one that I don't think has been covered so far....

Would love to create teams for quick play, but as a stickler for detail, unless classics can have the short shorts, there's not much point for me, personally.

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

I always wanted to...but I haven't played with any of the old rosters on any 2K ever, so maybe I'm missing what's already possible. I would love to go back in time and play the 1990-91 season. But some day, I hope we'll be able to create a certain season (rosters, team unis, schedule etc.) on consoles, but without the need to include current teams in order to fill the missing spots. They should let us have a league of 27 teams if we want to go back to the 1990-91 season, for example.

Is this possible today? (I don't have 2K16 and never tried it on 2K14 or 2K15).
