    VDusen04, I don't think it's eyebrow itself, I'm almost sure at some point he got hurt above the eyebrow. I think that's what it was supposed to be, but it just got messed up.



    EDIT:

    I don't know if this is it, but in Dec. 1991 Karl Malone gave Thomas 40 stitches - (NSFW?)

      he also got it split again in a great game vs the bulls in Chicago in the early part of the 92-93 season. I think he banged head with BJ Armstrong.

        Speaking of Karl Malone, they did a pretty good job with him this year. Face is solid & his moves are pretty accurate. I just played a season with the 90's Jazz last year on PS3 or I'd be tempted to use them again. I'd love to have gotten early 90's Karl with more hair but this is well done. Could be a tad thicker. I think it's the neck and traps that's throwing everyone off. He still looks good though, especially in the old Jazz jerseys.



        Solid work here!

          In general legends have taken a huge step back visually speaking this year.
          Chris Mullin is atrocious. Mitch Richmond is still an alien.
          The only player looking definitely better this year is Shaq.
          Very disappointed with 2K work.
          some are better some r worse, but overall they're just different. what's important tho is how much better the gameplay is.

            Good call. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Has to be it. He seemed to have that little extra bit in 90's photos but not so much the younger ones. Still a little overdone in 2K (and technically unnecessary because he didn't have that mark yet) but it's all good. I probably would have never noticed if I wasn't editing his accessories.

              I wish we could have this one stickied. It is going to be helpful for as long as there are retro players/teams.

                Does anyone know Pistol Pete's jumpser settings? I unlocked jumpshot creator in my career and would love to have my guy look just like pistol pete shooting.

                  As you likely noticed, NBA 2K18 has Maravich's current signatures set at:

                  Lower/Base: Ray Allen
                  Upper Release 1: Release 56

                  However, a few years ago someone out there recommended:

                  Lower/Base: Jump Shot 7
                  Upper Release 1: Release 4
                  Release Timing: Quick

                  I'm still not sure if that's perfect but it definitely captures his shoulder turn a lot better than 2K's default.

                      I wish there was a "Toughness" or "Aggressiveness" attribute, and a certain way to represent it in the game. Charles Oakley was one tough guy (I feel bad for rookie Pippen who's supposed to be having fun).

                        For whatever it's worth, it really does seem as though 2K put a pretty significant amount of effort into classic teams this year. They're still trying to outrun the 2K14 next gen disaster (when a seemingly random art team created most of the classic team atrocities we're still seeing today) and there's still some new player appearances that have left me scratching my head (Stephen Jackson looks pretty wild) but there's also been a number of small tweaks that I've come to believe just weren't ever going to get noticed by the 2K team. Some of the biggest things I've noticed so far:

                        1) Some legend improvements. Michael Jordan finally got the visual treatment he deserved. Some others were tweaked as well, even if they weren't perfected (Joe Dumars).

                        2) 1989 Pistons road jerseys were obnoxiously inaccurate for years (even said the wrong thing on the chest). That's been fixed.

                        3) The 2003 Dallas Mavericks now have access to their proper navy road jersey. Previously, they could only wear the more modern royal-ish blue roads.

                        4) 2K added the ability for classic teams to pick from any of their franchise's jersey selections available in the game. This is beneficial in multiple realms. For one, it's allowed some classics access to alternate or throwback jerseys they may have worn in a given season (classics were previously limited to two jerseys, period). Second, it can provide roster-makers with some flexibility. Some classic teams can be shifted to different years while retaining their court art but wearing different/additional jerseys (2002 Nets can be morphed into a red-alternate-wearing 2007 Nets).

                        5) I could be wrong, but I've gathered that Glenn Robinson III may have done motion capture for 2K this past year. I think I may have noticed a couple of dunk packages he might be responsible for that could help flesh out some legend signatures. For one, I've noticed more cradles and cuffs than usual.

                        6) Classic team offenses seem to run more effectively this year. This is via limited use so far (four games or so) but as one example, I think I saw Richard Hamilton run off more baseline screens in a half a quarter than I saw in all of 2K17.

                        7) There's a huge heaping of new players and teams. Some (Xavier McDaniel) don't look great but most actually seem to be pretty well done.

                        8) All players are fully editable in terms of information and vitals, right on down to their name. Considering the oddly hamstrung create-a-player, it gives us a fighting chance to find doppelgangers on the All-Time teams or elsewhere. Or, in the least, it allows us to change Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's name to what it was for that 1971 championship season (Lew Alcindor).

                        Not directly related to only classic teams but still important:

                        9) Last year's on-the-fly substitution abomination has been replaced with a more reasonable and intuitive alternative (if not ideal).

                        10) Mentioned a few pages ago but it bears repeating, the annoying young generic blonde coach talking to you during every Quick Play time-out is gone. The game is nearly worth the price of admission based on his absence alone.

                          I just wish they would put some effort into accessories. Young KMart is wearing 36 year old KMart accessories. Kerry Kittles has a padded sleeve, etc.

                              Some of you are trashing the legends - I get some of the animations have been taken out and it sucks - but visually MANY got a very nice upgrade. I am happy 🤷🏻*♂️

                                I know the legends aren't where folks want them to be but man are they especially fun to play with this year....I've barely played with any current team outside of the Spurs.

                                I took the '89 Pistons online...mucked up the game defensively, dominated the boards, pushed the ball and finishing with Zeke....it really was just a great experience....I wouldn't have even bothered playing with them in PNO last year...

                                Isiah finished with 20 5 & 4
