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

    Part of the problem with Bird is his hair. Maybe they should try to go for one of the shorter styles he had. I look at some of his mid 80's pics and the hair is pretty goofy. FACE was good last year and maybe shorter, lighter hair would be the trick.



    This hair is just tough to recreate I think.

      2K is too concerned with the "Neighborhood" and getting peoples wallets sucked into that mode, i think they dont care about this stuff.

        Can't blame them, that's where the money is. I doubt legends will sell an extra 2 millions units. I wish we had these game engines/graphics technology 15-20 years ago, before online gaming became such a big deal.

          I have some well-documented issues with 2K's classics (sig styles slowly being removed, poor transition to next gen, terrible '89 Pistons jerseys and Joe Dumars model) but I'm not quite feeling the doom and gloom a lot of you are at this point. I'm actually looking forward to about 8-10 of the 16 new teams and I've enjoyed seeing screenshots of a lot of the new players added this year (not to mention the re-inclusion of the long banned biceps bands).

          Perhaps I'll be singing a different tune once everything shakes out but we'll see. In the meantime, it's been fun seeing these guys pop up.











          I'm not sure I completely vibe with the "2K doesn't care" train of thought. We know classics aren't as far up on the priority list as we'd like but I don't think it's a matter of them not trying. Instead, I've had more of a feeling over the past few years that 2K is just still trying to clean up the mess that was left by whoever they contracted to create the next-gen legends in the first iteration (2K14).

            clearly 2k is steering their fans towards the microtransaction horsehockey. Run the neighborhood/mycareer and Myteam are all about VC.

            Create-a-player (even Create-a-team) was a staple in the very first 2k and quite frankly, my enjoyment in making rosters goes back to those days because I did it then too. How difficult is it to let us pick sock color? or put glasses or goggles on a player? or copy an existing player? edit short length? Remember back in the day when cheat codes were a thing, why cant we enter a Locker code to download a player to our free agent pool? All those myteam player models at our fingertips, oh wait that will kill VC sales and playing Myteam, no way! (MyTeam would still be huge its all based on gambling behavior, people getting addicted when they can win something shiny and rare) its only about increasing their profit, they say they care, but if it won't line their pockets, no time gets put into it. Run the neighborhood is a revolution??? its all the BS other games have that I don't care about and didnt want it in my NBA game. I see so many talented creations here and in the game its amazing, I love it, i've become 100x more invested in the NBA because of it. I'm just ranting here because its so easy to fix it and its like the only game was planning on getting this fall.

            It ironic too because during the summer someone announced they would highlight rosters created by the community, is that still a thing?

            rant over

              I agree. It's hard to replicate the wavy bouncy hair without having it look like he has a weird mop on his head. The two example pictures you gave would be better.

                  I wish they could get Larry to stop by at the 2K headquarters, and scan his face and use it as a base. Then if they could mess with it and make it younger, add the mustache, change the hair etc..

                    Have the all time Pacers confirmed to be in? It was mentioned last night that they weren't. Even minus Reggie I'd like that team.

                      Totally agree! Some of these new faces are spot on, especially Augmon, Kidd and Rice. Iverson loooks spot on too, they finally nailed him.

                      As for the messed up ones, I suggested on the art thread that they recycle the better models from 2K17 & 2K16 (Like Larry Bird from 2K16). The art from those games should be easily transfered over to 2K18.

                      The thing is, that list must be put together and agreed upon. Let's help the 2K art team find feasible and realistic solutions this is just one suggestion and not the only answer of course.

                          Looking at those screen shots, J Kidd should have a goatee.

                              Concurred. It'd be nice to find a way to create a more centralized database of some kind where fixes, edits, and additions could be housed (a more extensive version of this thread's original post).

                                That's the reason I've always wanted for 2K to separate the face art from the facial hair and hair style art. Players would come with a preset look, but we would have the ability to change hair style/color or beard style/color, and even eye color if we want to.

                                That and the ability to clone or "base copy" (term from the Pro Evolution Soccer series) players would be a dream.

                                I remember editing player's hair styles and beards in Pro Evolution Soccer 2 without losing their official faces back in the early noughties.
