      It seems like im going to have to say this a million times for 2k to finally hear my point smh. Robert Horry had a box cut hairstyle on those rockets teams. But I see you can add headbands to legends now. Go to 9:44 of this video.

        A few really good upgrades. Drazen Petrovic looks spot on I think. What I am surprised with is the PS3 faces for guys like Terry Porter, Kenny Smith, & Vlade Divac. Those are going to be eyesores. Hopefully they get updated at some point.

          Seems like hair and eyes got a big improvement in general, more skin texture, but it's not a massive jump by any means. Just some players they touched up, like they've done in recent years. A lot of them still look very odd, I cannot even tell who some of those players are.

          The biggest difference is lighting, which is why it overall seems like a bigger improvement than it actually is. I'd even say some players look worse. I don't know what is up with Divac and especially Kenny Smith since they scanned him for half-time reports and all! Same for Cassell & Steve Kerr, especially the latter. I think it's funny because I dislike him, but that younger model is like a deliberate screw up job, even if Kerr used to look hideous.

          With regards to Horry, with some players they are a lot more diligent than others. They usually take how a player looks the last time he played in the league or now. Players who've gone bald are usually bald for example. It's minor, but it's annoying.

            True but in nba 2k18 Robert Horry had the correct hairstyle on the 94 rockets. I am just saying dont fix something that doesnt need to be repair.

              Well I don't know what to tell you about that one. 2k being 2k I guess. I mean any NBA person could do a search and see what a player looked like that particular year. Since the haircut is in the game it should actually be a question of taking a minute to just put another one on Robert. Problem is, 2k won't do it and won't allow us to edit classic players.

                I wish they would because that would solve almost all of our complaints in regards to editing classic players. Maybe a patch will help out hopefully.

                  After the last gen system transfer debacle, I consider this a win. I don't think I saw a lot of improvements beyond Kobe Bryant and Drazen Petrovic but it's good to see most of the classic art carried over and didn't degrade like it did from 2K13 to 2K14.

                  Some of the same things we've been discussing for years are still apparent (Kenny Smith might still have his 2K11 face, some "young" legends look like the retired versions of themselves) but honestly, at least next-gen classics can start with a great base as opposed to having to spend years just trying to recover back toward neutral territory.

                  Moreover, Ant mentioned in another thread that some more role players may have been added.

                    I still hope Robert Horry get his hairstyle corrected in one of these patches. He did not have the same hairstyle while playing for the rockets, lakers and spurs. Same applies for Rick Fox

                      2007 Cavaliers LeBron player model actually looks improved although once again the 2013 Heat LeBron player model is just current LeBron player model with a headband added. So as far as my annual LeBron player model complaints, I can at least say that 2007 Cavaliers LeBron looks better at least in that comparison video. However, every year I say they should have a different more accurate player model for 2013 Heat LeBron, and every year it's just current LeBron player model with a headband, which somewhat worked back in 2k18 due to his beard being not so thick as it now is, but on his current Lakers player model, it just looks innacurate and out of place. Would love an actual accurate 2013 Heat LeBron player model, maybe an update can be patched in or maybe in 2k22.

                        Will 2K ever add the MyTeam players to the rosters/draft classes. Deron Williams in MyTeam but not all time Jazz. Really sucks

                          At 4:47 in the video he goes through legend teams. If you slow the video down to .25, you can see the cyber faces of the legend players.
