I just tweeted and asked LD2K about editing shorts lengths. That's a my major ask of the community and has been for a while.

Me too. He doesn't want to answer it for whatever reason. Doesn't give me any confidence that you can this year.

Can anyone confirm this? Because that is game changing.

If you check the all time roster listings - his name is featured.

Looks like it's a throwback jersey, not from actual 90s teams. Shorts look pretty baggy on player in background. I was hoping it was retro fit.

That would suck - I literally hammered and hammered and hammered 2k during NBA 2k16 release for the Bulls pinstripes to be included, and they patched them in about half way through the season. See literally zero reason why they shouldn't be in this years game - they're pretty iconic, along with Orlando's alt blue/white pinstripe.

Can someone screencap one of those last shots from the trailer that shows Jordan in the black alternate pinstripes jersey. It looks like it's very improved from how it looked in 2k17. Maybe someone could do a comparison pic. Also hoping the version shown in the trailer is the one available for the 96 Bulls and hopefully a version without pinstripes for the 98 Bulls.

Tough to see the shorts from this capture....

I've got a bad feeling about MJ's signature style for 2K18 for some reason....

Have had that same feeling every year since 2k13.......

Did you boys think the MJ didn't look as good in yesterday's trailer either?

Not quite sure what to make of that - whether it's just me, old build, bad angles etc......

For starters...the dunk. Really? Not quite 'classic' MJ material, was it?

Secondly, that celebration at the end - erm, no. Just no.

Agree with the 'look' but I'm thinking we just got some bad angles and an old build as you said, Mark. - a few other members noticed some discrepancies with D Rose and his look compared to the All time Bulls image we got the other day.

Yeah I made a post about Rose's hair on the Bulls squad being different from the pic they released a couple days ago. I think they piece these trailers together from various builds.

No way the MJ looked as good as it did in that picture and then they changed it for the worse - so I'm sure it HAS to be the case of an old build etc.

The celebration may aswell have been a dab IMO haha.....

Be nice if there is a little more signature movements in there - or at least some basic ones for the BIG names.

Although, 2K have added a TONNE of new, all time names so maybe the focus was getting these guys in and the polish (signature styles) will come in future 2K games....

I'm feeling this will unfortunately be the case.

And c'mon 2k........if you're gonna focus on getting anyone right, it should be Jordan. We all know what his basket celebrations look like, don't do him wrong like that........

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

One of these is definitely MJ..... but IMO one definitely is not.

But someone from 2K will be on this thread shortly to clarify this discrepancy

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

Jordan looked kinda off from the trailer due to the head shape, esp viewing from the side.. i know its difficult cause they don't scanned these players.. GP has the same issue from previous series

Whats with the long necks in NBA 2k18??? Once you see it you can't unsee it

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

Looking back over the All-time Bulls photo it looks like they are all wearing 90's shorts. (The mid level length). Someone in a another thread mentioned the dilemma of those legend Sonic players on the All Time Thunder. SURELY, we won't only have Thunder jerseys to roll with Dale Ellis and the X Man.

My HOPE Is that if they won't let us adjust short length (which I am thinking is highly unlikely) they will at LEAST give us various jersey options in the team select screen. In fact, they should put every jersey they have rights to as an option for each franchise.

I was REALLY trying to not say anything about it. But yeah......tough to turn back once you've noticed.

This looks to be the case, as we have the all time Bulls picture with the squad wearing the standard Red away uni's, then the in game footage of MJ doing that lame *** celebration, wearing the black pinstripe alts.

I think we'll indeed get a choice of every uni from every era.
