Player models
Please, please please address the player models. We don't want that live 09 live 13 look and we don't want these Football player models anymore. Player models should be divide into four types of category. Linky, stocky, Muscular, lean(muscular and slim)and fat(Carmelo Charles Barkley and Raymond Felton. Someone might be able to provide pictures of different player models. I can't find them all some one has done this before.

We just don't want all these Karl Malone lebron James body example Kevin Durant is too muscular in 2k12, Danny Granger, Kobe and Tim duncan come to mind. Basketball players with the exception of Lebron Shaq(young Shaq)Karl Malone and Buck Williams. Aren't that muscular tone it down.

ARENAS


Some arenas have wrong seat types and it's irksome especially in practice mode.
Disregard the courts as the seats are still like the ones in real life, I go to many timberwolves games.

Arenas

Classic Bulls Teams in Chicago Stadium: Center court logo should not be cut up by lines. The entire Bulls logo should fit within the circle!

Also give Chicago Stadium that old school horn that you heard at games.

95 Orlando Magic: Backboard have modern shot clocks. Apparently 2k just pasted the 2k11 version of the 2011 Magic's Orlando Arena without realizing it should be modified to fit the 95 version.

NBA Playoffs and NBA finals logos need to be different for each era. Several versions of the logo should be in the game

Make that grainy gray film and old school presentation available not only in NBA's Greatest Mode but other forms of gameplay: quickplay, season, and franchise mode. Designate presentation to reflect the home team.

The 80s Lakers have the Forum... the 80s Celtics deserve the Boston Garden.

Speaking of classic arenas, make the surroundings/seating/roof and ceiling of these venues better reflect their past real life counterparts: Key Arena, the Omni, Charlotte Coliseum, Richefield Coliseum, etc. The curtain for the Alamodome was nice but its ruined by these giant windows that look like skyboxes. They are in liek every generic classic arena. At least remove that 2k if you can't give us legit looking arenas.

Classic Dornas and Led Lighting should be minimal and reflect the past. 2K needs to step up in classic arena atmosphere.

In Greatest Mode you hear the classic bulls music playing in Chicago Stadium and classic Knicks sound play @ MSG. These sounds should play in the arenas in other game modes. Takes away from that past feel of things.

half circle should not be in paint for classic court

nba 2k12 http://youtu.be/KO_X-Zhksps
real orl magic court http://youtu.be/sGM9sKcHlPY

on the big screen we could watch some real action not only logo of the home team because in nba live 1998 i remember we could watch real actions and it was always the same action but it existed and on PS1 or PC so why not today on new console!!

3 pt line between 95 and 97 was not at the same distance from the ring and for me it's so important. I remember the difference with NBA before 94 and after 95, because Jordan won 72 game thanks to this 3 pt line so it's not a small detail. i remember of this as it was yesterday!

I add for arenas Phil Jackson, and other great coachs.

When a player shot a free throw, crowd should moov to disturb him, and it's not the case. i could do that on PS1 in NBA live.

player faces

Scottie Pippen should have better Haircut because sometimes his haircut was very short not always a big tuft. We could change his haircut.
Scott Williams has the same haircut that hersey Hawkins, Kemp, Pippen etc etc and in NBA 2k12 he is full shaved.

Spoiler

Spoiler

in nba 2k12

Spoiler

but i often saw him like that

Spoiler

Dennis Scott face: i don't think his face has been realized correctly.

Player looks
free throw sig shot are not good for some players : Kerr, Buechler, Malone (the end of his moovment is horrible), Jordan (still not perfect), Kemp (not Howard), 95 O'neal (more quickly than the old Shaq), for actual star Rondo (very strange)


Player accesories
Horace Grant should have blue googles with the orlando magic

Spoiler

i don't know if it's accesories but air jordan nedd to have true colors

Spoiler

Spoiler

Every player of a team has the same color shoes: blue and white for utah jazz, red and white for bulls etc etc while they had most of the time black and white shoes, or sometimes superstars had team colors but just superstars as Kemp with green and white etc etc

possibilities to choose sockets colors

Jersey Mistakes
i don't know if it's a mistakes, but Black classics Bulls Jerseys could be great.

@J_Posse512 Good stuff man. Please try to use spoiler whenever you have a large number of pictures so that the written info from your post is not lost between them.

nba 2k should bring this back from 2k9. before a game it would be cool if once in a while they showed actual real life game clips from the star player. This would really get us pumped before the game.

Re: NBA 2K13 - Let's Talk About NBA Authenticity, Artistic Improvements

It's been mentioned before, but it can't hurt to repeat: Please, 2K, just make the players look like they do in real games. That means 2K must have accessory sets for both Home and Away uniforms. Most teams wear white accessories at home, black away, yet 2K is fine just having one set for both home and away games. It makes players such as Durant look real silly with black shoes, white socks, black knee pads, and then white uni's.



Same thing with shoes - for the most part, white shoes at home, dark shoes away. And, for the love of God, more brand name shoes. I'm tired of seeing stars like Andrew Bynum and KG wearing generic shoes. Looks ****ing cheap.

Please add this thumb wrap I'm actually looking for this on PC. Can't find it,

Spoiler

also the carlos boozer version. I can't think of anybody else right now,

Spoiler

IMPORTANT- We should be able to put rubberbands over them.

Re: NBA 2K13 - Let's Talk About NBA Authenticity, Artistic Improvements

^Nice find jersez.

So far, very nice ideas guys. It would be great if we can post any other missing stuff, that way we can have this thread complete by the end of the month.

Wouldn't mind seeing Luol Deng's hand wrap in the game.

90's throwbacks for next season.

This was posted in the Basketball forum. Some of these are already in the game, some aren't. There should be NO REASON whatsoever everything here doesn't find it's way into this game.

Re: NBA 2K13 - Let's Talk About NBA Authenticity, Artistic Improvements

2k you need to add a variety of rubber bands, I know you can't really advertise powerbalance and phiten, but you could properly imitate them,

I don't know if this has been touched on but look at the knee sleeve Kevin Durant is wearing, we should be able to put accessories over one another.
