They really need to update Bill Walker's face and add his neck tattoo.

Boston Celtics 1985-1986 wore black shoes, whole team, home and away games. Last year they got it wrong too... Doesn't really matter if they're generic or not, just make them black, not hard to do.

Art fans, no insight this week according to Ronnie's last tweet. It'll come next week with Momentus's new trailer.

Ronnie2K: Feel like the Art Insight would be better suited with the Momentus Trailer so holding til next week. Two Insights next week for sure

Well that's a disappointment. They didn't seem to have a problem separating the Greatest Mode insight and trailer so why keep these separate.

Really hope there's some good news on that Art Insight and we actually get it bright and early on Monday and not have to wait half the week for it since we should already have it.

From what I've seen of the game so far, things aren't looking too good for FINALLY getting the right Home and Away accessories colors in the game. I'm still seeing green bands on the Celtics at home, the Mavs accessories are blue at home in all those vids when they should be white. Holding out hope but it's not looking good.

It'd be great if they make team colors fully editable

Yes that's a very good PC mod of Bill Walker he is in desperate need of an update in 2k12 the current 2k11 face is way off... Also for the New York Knicks.

1. Carmelo Anthony's headband the NBA logo faces the back.


2. Amare Stoudemire signature goggles are the incorrect color, Antoine Carr from 97-98 Jazz wore the version Amare had in 2k11, Kirk Hinrich also currently wears the same style goggles as Stoudemire.




3. Anthony Mason of the 94-95 Knicks needs a muscular build was too thin in 2k11, Mason also wore ankle braces.


4. The "New York" lettering on the Knicks Jerseys is too small as seen in the new released screenshots.


5. Accessories NY at Home should be orange or blue.. Only black on the road.

Dwight Howard is wearing generic shoes too in the screenshots. It means nothing, they didn't update all of the shoes yet.

They'd better improve the faces they got wrong on the early screens and legends video.

Sean Elliott's face looked like a turtle.




John Stockton: His face is simply inaccurate in the previews, looks like an android version of him (P.S. Malone could use a revamp too).



1991 Danny Ainge (not going to mention it, after last year's fail):




Jerome Kersey:




Mitch Richmond (flat top):


1991 AC Green (Flat top):



Patrick Ewing (younger and Flat Top):



Penny Hardaway (younger and smaller head proportion):



Shawn Kemp:



Horace Grant (4x NBA Champion, one of the most underrated PF's of all time):

1989: mustache, no goggles and more hair.




1991: Somewhat similar to his 1989 face but with clear goggles with no frames:


1993: Should be pretty much the same as 2K11's, although it can be revamped, white framed goggles slight fade and clean shaven.



1995: blue goggles with a black rubber frame, thin mustache and goatee and his head fully shaven.




Last but not least...

Scottie Pippen (if you have him as a legend, treat him like one; MJ had 4 faces in 2K11)

1989


1991/1993



1996:


1998:

Pared, I am really hoping that the supposedly dynamically players appareances updates wasnt taken out of context ... it could really be the most underappreciated yet most revolutionary feature of 2k12 ... given past 2k standards ... and would really make possible some of these requests, even as up to this point, thus maybe not much further on.

I was asking this for some time now, I just hope it's in. Remember how Ben Wallace would have braids one game and the picked out Afro in another I think it was 2k5 so it's definitely possible.

1. After a player gets subbed back out, they need to put the warmups back on. With the 2K12 videos that have been seen, they still do not put them back on.

2. There needs to be more assistant coaches on the 1st row of the bench. They also need to add the 2nd row behind the bench, for IR players and more members of the coaching staff.

3. Steve Nash needs to sit on the floor when subbed out (NBA Live 10 did this)!!

[Alfro0925]

I'm digging the intros for 2k12 but I still feel like they could've implemented the intro used for the 1st Jordan challenge when you first start 2k11, with the hanging projector screen from the tron, I seen this intro all NBA season long and yet we see it only once in the game. Allow players to lick their fingertips while bringing the ball up the court many players other than Steve Nash do this and it was in 2k8 I think. Players could wave towels on the bench when someone dunks like irl. I have more ideas and suggestions but I doubt the developers will even see this
