NBA 2K18 Video - Developer Diary: The Art Behind the Game

Re: NBA 2K18 Video - Developer Diary: The Art Behind the Game

Does the Cavs jersey have a Black trim or is that just a dark blue? Hard to tell.

With some of those inaccuracies I think it's inevitable. Colors will never be 100% perfect especially when lighting is taken into account.

It's weird because as I review this it looks like I might be wrong. Some photos show the more red/dark navy approach while others show a pinker wine colour/lighter navy:

That CAVS real life pic isn't completely accurate because of the lighting the picture was taken. The colors can be completely different shades in a cooler/warmer lighting.

Didn't they say they laser scanned the jerseys? How much accurate can you get than that? LOL

You can't be serious, PeacemanNOT...

Why should he be ? He's just pointing out inaccuracies. Good eye imo.

I also love the video blog format. Much better than reading an article.

Shows you the nature of lighting and how much it can change one's perception of colour.

I don't know why you were referencing a close up photo of a jersey in the first place. Lighting affects colour depending on the distances and other variables. All that matters is that in 5-on-5 gameplay it looks the same as it does in the real life broadcast. I.e. from distance.

Colours are colours man, it can still be adjusted so it has a good balance across all lightings.

Nonetheless, the jersey is actually inaccurate as the Cleveland font is too low. It should be higher and closer to the goodyear/nike swoosh logos. Again that can be easily fixed, except we don't know how far the team are into development and if they've finished jerseys yet.

Spoiler

Like every year I'm going to over analyze this video and see mistakes or things left unnoticed:


INACCURACIES:


#1 - They've got the Cavs jersey colours wrong, for whatever reason 2K have always had a problem when it comes to getting red/orange colours correct. This can easily be fixed. The likelihood is won't be fixed considering these mistakes have been ignored in the past.




#2 - The Mavericks icon accessories are incorrect. They should be the same colour as the dark navy, instead they're a light navy/blue:




#3 - DeMarcus Cousins headband clips through his ear, it's also the wrong colour. It should be the same colour as the jersey but instead it's a lighter blue:



#4 - The Pelicans association shorts have a wrong shade of blue and should be the same shade as the jersey above. As you can see jersey blue is darker, the shorts blue is lighter:




NEEDED UPDATES:


#1 - Mike Conley hasn't had this haircut in three years. He needs an nappy afro, I think a new face scan is needed here:



#2- Lowry is still wearing an arm pad, he hasn't worn this since the end of the 2015/2016 Season. You can also see Norman Powell's new face here:



#3 - Chris Paul has had the same face since NBA 2K15. He has since got a different haircut, he's also grown out a beard:



#4- Marcus Smart no longer has this mohawk/Odell Beckham Jr hair:

Marcus Smart will need his hair adjusted. He cut out the coloring in his hair late last season. Currently he looks like this: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/ne...hoto/688473544

Same goes for Allen Crabbe. His current look here: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/ne...hoto/670455806

I apologise for trying to help make the game better

This is scary lol



and tell me that isn't 100% Kyrie

So I haven't scrolled through the entire thread but if you look closely at Lavine (I'm assuming) socks in the first photo that's a new style of wear for socks in 2K. Something small I know. This game is already the best looking 2K ever.

It's hilarious how nit-picky some people are. I feel bad for you if minor inaccuracies really ruin your enjoyment of the game that much.

I'm usually quite hard to impress myself, but 2k's progress on the art is a legit triumph this year. It should be very easy for people to forgive minor inaccuracies this year. The game looks great. I'm actually laughing at this

Dark blue; Jerseys look accurate. You are correct about the lighting.

No need to feel bad my friend, I don't know why you would when I don't know you. I'm just very passionate about basketball when it comes to accuracy, unlike you. I agree that this game is a huge improvement and I'm glad 2K are finally focusing on this detail. I'm just pointing out some things that can be fixed very easily, especially with things like accessory colours (these things can come through roster updates).

You should be working for their art team. I personally don't notice these things and don't care to. When I'm playing I got too much to think about besides jersey trims!

Re: NBA 2K18 Video - Developer Diary: The Art Behind the Game

Fair enough, but how do you know that? Any real numbers to back that claim up? Every person on my friend list gets the game for franchise/online leagues and for regular quick games with real nba players

ITS. NOT. EVEN. REMOTELY. CLOSE!

Re: NBA 2K18 Video - Developer Diary: The Art Behind the Game

Looks incredible. Impressed me more than even 2k14 did, and that was with the jump to next gen. But I'm not even gonna get remotely hyped until I see some 5 on 5 gameplay.
