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

Looks like they added a bunch of Legends today. I saw Caron, Gerald Wallace and Al Harrington.

Neato. Bummed we can't somehow add these to rosters already in progress. I'm too deep into my editing to go back and re-start just to get these guys.

Have you noticed any others?

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

The new all time players are Josh Smith for ATL, Gerald Wallace for CHA, Carlos Boozer UTA, Danny Granger and Clark Kellogg for IND, and Caron Butler for WAS.

A handful of guys were added to classic teams, too.
96-97 Heat - Isaac Austin
01-02 Kings - Gerald Wallace
03-04 Pistons - Corliss Williamson
06-07 Cavs - Damon Jones
06-07 Warriors - Al Harrington, Kelenna Azubuike
10-11 Bulls - Carlos Boozer
10-11 Mavs - Caron Butler
11-12 Knicks - Jared Jeffries
11-12 Thunder - Daequan Cook

^^^Corliss Williamson has been with the 2004 Pistons since release. The rest of those guys are new though. Harrington and Azubuike would be two welcomed additions if I hadn't already dug myself so deep into editing a roster already.

Maybe this thread is the place for this topic. What classic players most need a visual overhaul for 2k19? They've done a great job with many players but some could really use some attention. This becomes obvious when seeing Kevin Willis next to Dominique Wilkins. Same thing with James Worthy. I use the 80's & 90's players most so I know them best. Guys like Jerome Kersey & Sam Perkins look similar to how were last gen.

It would just be nice if they could upgrade some more players next year.

-Reggie Williams from the 1994 Nuggets might be another person's face altogether.

-1991 A.C. Green also looks more like Mychel Thompson than A.C.

-Vinny Del Negro has always been a wreck

-Joe Dumars is still pretty whack

-John Salley

I think the 90's players as a whole are in rougher shape because the art team in charge of the next generation crossover didn't seem to be top notch. The teams added 2016 and onward have been much better quality.

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

I noticed the AC Green thing. The 91 version is in the ballpark but honestly, it's not close. For some reason , I think Dumars looks like he does now! Lol

Sean Elliott
Alonzo Mourning
Gary Payton
Derrick Coleman
Kenny Anderson


On the positive side, they've done some nice work on quite a few legends. Chris Mullin & Karl Malone look good I think.

I wish just once they gave us the option to play as Michael Jordan from NC all the way to the Wizards. I mean, not like the Jordan Challenges back in the day, but an actual MJ mode, where you play as MJ as if it were an action game focused on MJ. But this time with all the accurate looks, accessories, builds, haircuts (for every year from 1981-82 to 2002-03). With all his coaches since NC to the Wizards, including Bach and Winters, including the move to the triangle offense since the 1989-90 season...and all the behind the scenes problems with management and so on and on. And also all the fame, we need to feel the fame, what it was being MJ.

With a complete experience, even defenses that change accordingly and force him to shoot more J's in the early 90's and on etc...

I just finished reading Michael Jordan: The Life by Roland Lazenby the other day, and I'm just so energized to get the Michael Jordan experience all over again... What a ride that was!

This is pretty cool. I've been quite pleased with their willingness to shape things up with the classic teams. Years of neglect has left quite a hill to climb but I'm glad they're making progress. I hope these improvements are a continuous pattern from here on out. Their efforts are noticed and very much appreciated.

I think some of the body types and faces need a change, some guys look way to thick and they need to have that skinnier ripped build they use too, almost every center or big in this game looks easily 300 pounds. For faces they use to have a bunch of good legends face scans back up to 2k14, but i dont think they could carry them over into the new engine when it went to next gen.

Not so fast.

I could be missing something but after downloading the patch and trying Jordan out both on my own personal roster and on 2K's latest official roster, his tongue's still looking like this...







I don't know if my patch didn't take or what. I've seen at least one other person having similar issues (pastapadre).

For comparison, here's how it looked in 2K11 or 2K12:
