    Re: LEGENDS Thread - NBA 2K18 & beyond: (Accessories, jerseys, sig styles etc)

    Iv been playing 2k13 this week, and they have alot of teams and classic player's from that game that are still in the new games, it seems to me that for the longest time they've just been simply transferring players over that they still have the rights to, jumpshots never changed or got better, they dont even touch them at all from game to game, and then they dont even get the visual/looks right for the players from certain years on teams, i honestly think they take no time into that stuff, there happy enough just putting a team in the game.

      True indeed. 2005 Manu is bald. What else can we expect from 2k?

          I mean, the visuals look better cause its next gen, but something about the authenticity of the faces , they looked better in older games, i cant explain exactly why.

            How is it possible that the graphics are getting worse. Players (especially CAPs) look more "alive" this year, but something just seems off about the skin textures

              i think they look good, but not great. they represent the players well, but they're not ideally accurate. thanks for the pics.

                    Bird looks just AWFUL. Should've stuck with his 2k16 model.

                      I like the 2k17 model even better...not sure how it went backwards there

                        Looks like they opted for the coach Larry Bird and not the young one. He looks like a grade school teacher....

                          Couple that with what you guys have said - about MJ hitting a shot and celebrating like one of today's stars - nope. Nope, nope, NOPE.

                          Half the time MJ didn't even react, even hitting big baskets or and 1's. The guy was strictly business and left all that playground crap at home.

                          Similar to what youvalss mentioned - just solidifies my loathing to what the NBA has become. I cut off my sports package subscription a few years ago now, I can't stomach today's game, it has zero charm. Spend most of my days watching 80's and 90's hoops.
                          The only solution is to play to NBA 2k12!!!

                            I personally stuck with 2k16 - at least the triple threat variations gave us one handed palm animations which, when triggered, at least made me feel SLIGHTLY like I was playing with MJ.

                            I'm picking this game up tomorrow and the same applies as it did last year, If I'm not happy with this within a week, it's going straight back and I'll stick with 2k16. The Prelude did very little to convince me much has changed.

                            Anyhow....sorry, I just had to post this picture:

                              Payton looks like...well, probably like he looks like now. He looks so old to me. Larry Bird...they just can't get him right. If I saw this screenshot without knowing who he was supposed to be, I would have a hard time guessing. And is that an early 90's MJ? I like it.

                              Fisher looks like...a bad scan of Caron Butler.

                                Yes i'm out, this just looks like a mess. Hate the new CAP system. Im gonn stick with 2k16 and hover to see if they make any updates.... maybe they can still get me but glad I never pre-ordered.
