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

Aren't those already imitated in the game?

Also could you please double check your faces list with the ones included in 2K's default disc roster. I believe many of the players/faces are already in there like Mikki Moore, Gerald Green, Singleton, Mike James and others... Your list could be shortened.

Accessories/Shoes need more realistic home/away color ways which switch automatically depending on the jerseys selected.

Great thread hopefully 2k takes all this information on board, this kind of attention to detail is something 2k has lacked.

I also noticed something if you look at a side view of a created player such as Anthony Davis when you try to make the unibrow close as possible its like sticking out, they should make it so that couldn't happen because it looks weird no one has a face like that . His forehead like pops out lol.

The powerbalance is in the game, but it's only one color, it doesn't have the circle and powerbalance areas colored, it's just one whole color. Check it next time you play 2k12, the reason behind it is probably advertisement, but they can make a better imitation. Also the phiten or even rubberbands with words on them aren't in the game.

we should be able to put numbers on the finger tape like kobe,rondo, and kg had and we should to put numbers on elbow pad/sleeve like pip and like jason terry does.

also we should able to set colors for accessories for alternate jeresys the celtics sometimes wore white headbands with away jerseys and for st patrick jerseys they wear black for away and white for home also the bulls

August is just around the corner. I will let Pared know that this is ready for the guys at 2K to look at.

The Warriors away jerseys should be a more deep/true royal blue color. In 2k12 its alot lighter than it should be.









The 90/91 Run TMC Warriors in 2k12 have the right royal blue on their away jereseys that the current team should have.

Also add mouthguards. Alot of NBA players wear them and chew on them while they are on the court.

Not sure if it's technologically possible at this time, but a lot of teams have some sort of special patch on their jerseys marking some kind of anniversary or specific team accomplishment pretty much every year. The previous NBA season the Bulls wore patches to mark the 20 year anniversary of the first title. The Magic a couple years ago wore patches for the franchise's anniversary I believe and even the above post shows a patch the Warriors wore on their jerseys. It would be pretty cool if you as the user could choose a season to wear those kind of jerseys exclusively in your association or perhaps in the jersey selection screen just have those jerseys with patches represented as well. So all the current jerseys are available to be picked without the patch from that year and then all the current jerseys have them included.

All of their portraits are in 2K12, but the cyberfaces/models were removed. I've only seen CAPs and look-alikes used. I'll double check my list, though.

Will add a few things later to my post....

It's a great idea.

The way I see it happening, and also making the job easy for 2K, it would be via art updates for all the current team jerseys that have a patch on them. That could be a quick fix for 2K13.

For association/my player mode it could be for team accomplishments in the game mode itself with a little random "create a patch" screen. More for 2k14 than 2k13 really.
