A Top Notch NBA 2K Create a Player Feature

Re: A Top Notch NBA 2K Create a Player Feature

I didn't do it last year because of time constraints, but I am definitely willing to start a thread (with a corresponding spreadsheet*) that we can state all our graphical issues in. I feel like if we just give up then they'll actually believe the game looks "100% authentic" and these issues will worsen.

I am feeling a little frustrated but won't give up yet....


* Someone will need to help me out with the documenting, creating and sorting the spreadsheet.

I've done detailed threads before. So have others.

What's the point anymore?

If 2K works as closely with the NBA as it appears, shouldn't they have access to a wealth of reference material in order to get this stuff right?

I'm sure they have access to all kinds of game footage and photography.

What can we tell them that they don't already know? It's not a matter of them needing help to get it right, it's a matter of them wanting to do it.

Maybe it will be a priority next year, maybe not.

Nothing wrong with creating this guy as your pg.

We really shouldn't be scolded for using the L word around here.

Some of this stuff is straight up lazy and unacceptable.

None of the big youtubers who push this game year after year create players or rosters so this feature isnt really going to be high on the lists to do/fix on upcoming games. Also the shoe creator hasnt changed once since it was first intoduced in NBA 2K13.

Franchise Play and Embrace the Pace both have content that involves creating players, but clearly it isn't a high priorty on VC's "to do" list.

I realize people have emphasized these issues (and more) in the past since I have been a contributor to those threads. I just don't think accepting less than their best is okay, especially when many of us are long time repeat customers.

They need to know that this poor CAP system and other graphical issues aren't "great" or "good" representation of how NBA players appear. In particular when you have to pass off crogmagnon man as a "missing" NBA player year after year.

The "L" word isn't necessary since we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, who decides what assets are changed/improved and how many man hours it would take to make the necessary changes.

The project managers or whomever doesn't see this as a big deal which is sad, IMO.

Sidenote: Why hasn't this series added "Data Packs" featuring updated and missing player likenesses, yet? These seem to be a feature (to my knowledge) that nearly every annual sports title includes.

Damn. I don't create a lot of players but I play ML a lot and it's really noticeable in later years how all players sort of resemble each other and the lack of tats. It's crazy. At the very least we should have all the options available to your MyCareer player to toy around with.

Franchise is the only hope imo, he has 60k subscribers and has a good relationship with 2K already. Embrace and myself only have 15K subscribers and have no voice regarding anything. LD2K asked me for a wishlist video a while back to send to the devs but from what I read and heard so far I don't think any of it made it in the new game. To be honest i dont even think it even got to the devs.

Maybe bring this more to the attention of Bornindamecca. He's big on art and showing where 2k can catch up with other games as far as immersion and design, and he's close to Czar.

Re: A Top Notch NBA 2K Create a Player Feature

Another year filled with more disappointment. It's beyond embarrassing now.

I don't get why reviewers and big name players never mention it either. It's so blatant and horrible to look at. Your MyCareer guy looks deformed, and when he speaks he looks really stupid.


MyLeague/MyGm I can barely stand after two or three seasons. A whole lot of mutant looking players running around that all look related.
