Laser scanned all the new Nike uniforms for every team ???

Ok.......I don't want any wrong colour tones or neck/armpit trim etc etc etc.....

I want every teams jersey, EVERY TEAMS jersey to be perfect. It's time.....

So far they're looking pretty spot on. Haven't noticed any issues thus far

That face comparison is ridiculous sheesh.

Lighting is superb in 2K18

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:

You can literally see the court reflection in their eyes when you zoom in.

Hey every bit of criticism makes the game better, I'm not complaining. If I was I would make a full on hate post about it. I feel like these criticisms are valid and could be fixed very easily.

Nothing to complain here, come on guys. This is unfair

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

Here are LeBron comps (kinda off I know, but the legs are a HUGE difference)

His shoulders and traps looked more accurate in 2k17 but everything else looks better in 2k18. Really hoping he still has his custom "I Promise" rubber bands as well. I don't see them in this screenshot. His tattoos look a little more faded then they should maybe, but in terms of facial likeness it's basically perfect. Maybe they can adjust the couple things that are off but for the most part besides that, probably the most accurate LeBron player model ever.

I low key wish WiSports was here to see this greatness, eventho I'm sure he would be livid about 2k only showing Greek Freak from the neck up.

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.

Dark navy.
