    I hear that. Guess I didn't notice before seeing the gigantic 2k logo on Spurs black shoes.. I don't want to complain though. I'm happy that we have all these legends. Better than nothing. Would be nice though if they were touched up a bit

      No I feel that. They changed the generic shoes in 2K18 to have a giant ugly 2k logo on the side. They used to be smaller or on the tongue of the shoe, but for some reason they wanted to advertise how unauthentic the shoes are haha. I would prefer the generics to have no logo at all

        Man I just really hope they patch in an edit shorts option. This game is so good. I have been super critical of their art team, but they killed it this year with retro teams. The 90s teams just don’t look right without shorter shorts. Maybe someone will find a workaround.

          Work around might be copying the "All-Time" players likeness over the classic players likeness.. I haven't tested it but for example all time Jordan has short shorts right? Might be able to copy that likeness over the Jordan on all the 90's squads, and do the same for Pippen, Grant, Rodman, etc.

          Only issue is this won't fix any players who aren't on All-Time teams, and no fix for CAPs or legends that are incorrect. I believe someone else mentioned Calvin Murphy has long shorts, further evidence suggesting that short length is tied to players.. We really just need the option to edit it ourselves for any player on the game.

            I don’t see why it’s so hard for them to get right especially since it was perfect on last gen. Teams from be 60s, 70s, and 80s should have short shorts. Teams from the 90s should have the medium shorts. All other teams normal long shorts

              It looks like their compromise was to merge the look/length of the 70/80/90s shorts. It’s a bit frustrating, but I understand. They added way more uniforms and they all look very accurate. But they have to let us select shorter shorts if they’re in the game. I can’t use 91 Suns vs 94 rockets when they’re wearing baggy shorts.

              I really do think it was some sort of oversight and they’ll fix it with a patch. Drexler on all one rockets in 94 uniform looks so much better in his shorter shorts than Hakeem with his baggy shorts.

                The thing to remember on last gen NONE of the retro shorts selected by current teams were short. In fact the only way to get full use of shorts editing was through the RED MC file editor.

                So this year IS an improvement in that respect.

                But you are right. They did have correct shorts length for all classic teams.

                  That is a good idea for some of the players. And I haven’t checked all of them but I know Calvin Murphy was messed up and I’ve posted it in the glitch thread (if that will even matter).

                    just got my hands on the game and messed around a bit. the gameplay feels on point with a very sim-like flow and rhythm. played around with mj and he's lots of fun this year. excuse the resolution and lack of a crowd - still trying to get my settings right.

                      Is that the default Jordan jumpshot?

                        i go with base 57 & kobe's release. i think it's much more accurate.

                          Jordan looks really good there! I so want to go get the game but I bought Madden this year. Every time I have both games I end up playing 2k and eventually never go back to Madden. It's decent this year so I want to get any season started before I get 2k. Should get it this weekend.

                          Anyone seen Kevin Willis? He's always one that's neglected.

                            Maybe it was just a fortunate and convenient generic dunk animation but that last flush looked very, very Jordan-like.

                              I'm not ready to sit here and say it's a perfect match, but I downloaded a Tayshaun Prince DNA (on XBox) that looked similar to the one OJ made in the CAP thread and I have to say, it looks 23047208409234208 times better than what I was using for Tayshaun Prince last year.

                              I'm looking forward to what people can do for Rasheed Wallace (haven't see a great one on XBox yet).



                              Also, for whatever it's worth, I was able to use Dave DeBusschere as a stand-in for Mehmet Okur last year because he looked just generic enough. Can't do that anymore because Dave DeBusschere looks way too much like Dave DeBusschere this year.
