Re: Celtics Court 2k12 vs Real comparison

I think my biggest problem with threads like this is that it just seems (my opinion) like posters are overlooking everything else in the game: amazing tats, hella different shoes, signature shots, new post game, potentially an online association. 2k games are arguably the most detailed sports games on the market right now, then people come on and say....."I don't understand why they can't get this right." To me, posts like that seem just a bit disingenuous considering how much they do get right.

Pointing it out for developers to see and hopefully have time to correct is fine. That only helps the game get better. However, the posters hardly ever seem to come off with constructive criticism and just seems like a nit-picky complaint. Again, just my opinion.

quick question...why aren't they allowed to use TD Garden,Conseco,MSG? And they can use other real arenas

Because they have to pay for the rights, and I would imagine the price being alot.

Imagine lakers home court was dark ? I know 10000 threads will be made & 2k will no time fix it. Im praying they patch this asap

Please - lay off the "if this team's court was bad" comparisons.

It has nothing to do with what team it is.

Spot on. There's always a right and wrong way to present things.

they do a lot of things right, otherwise i wouldn't buy the game every year (since 2k1!!). i'm just saying they can do way better in this area.

they have the nba licence, the game needs to be more accurate imo. they haven't changed many of their textures since 2k9 (and i know it, i've been pathing for years now). court colors are wrong every year! even jersey colors!

you can hate ea sports for many things, but when it comes to accuracy of jersey colors, stadiums etc. they do a fantastic job. just look at the new fifa or nhl.

don't get me wrong, nba 2k is a great game otherwise.

While this is a fair point in general, I don't think it fully applies to these types problem in particular or the OP's post. I do agree it could have been nicer to leave out the "why can't they..." comment, but he patches the game's visuals for PC, posted images to support his point and showed how he, as a user, was able to come closer than 2K. I would call that mostly constructive.

The other thing is, and this is an issue with 2K sports in general, is that their color palette is just off....most of the early PC mods are spent fixing color issues in uniforms, accessories, courts, etc. While the specific flaws pointed out go a bit beyond coloring (as in the floor textures, etc) a lot could be fixed by simply using the right shade of green, not making red look pink, black look grey, etc.

So while I agree that the "how can they not get___" type arguments can get tiring, I don't think it's as egregious here. It is indeed a bit odd that something as basic as color scheme can continually be so off. This isn't the same as someone questioning how they can't get something seemingly simple but potentially difficult to program.

Again, not saying the OP couldn't have been more tactful in his OP...just saying he posed a fair question IMO.

It's funny because I was playing NBA Live 10 with my little brother, and I saw how they had alot of Authentic things, Courts looked good, Jersey color was accurate at the time, every accessories was there you can even make an accessory, atmosphere setting. I still wouldn't trade 2k gameplay for all of that, but it would be nice if they added or fixed these things. a

Because they don't want to pay for usage of the trademarks.

I find it funny that a person can make a thread about accessories and get bashed, but everyone doesn't have a problem with a thread about courts. I'm not saying idc because I do, 2k should be getting the little things right by now, but graphically the game is still realistic to me.

Courts and jerseys have direct impact on your game experience. Accessories does not.

Patting 2K on the back isn't going to help the game / series become better. Constructive criticism will. They're not looking for BFFs, they're looking for customers.

nitpicking

looks good to me

Re: Celtics Court 2k12 vs Real comparison

dRoseBulls you make a incredible and valid point. Even the TD Garden isn't on the court. Paurket on the court is still wrong texture and colors.

I've been adding the new 2k12 images to my site and even looking at shoes, their palettes are way off. Look at Noah's shoes in his post up shot, they are pink instead of red and so forth. I don't understand who does the colors, but they've been off since 2k8 and have never been corrected in later version of this series.

Thank goodness I get the PC version each year, we can fix ourselves in hex.

Even the Signature is missing off the default court.

Re: Celtics Court 2k12 vs Real comparison

It makes the Game look So good that we have to pick on things like this instead of gameplay.

Plus they can't put TD Garden , You guys should know that.

First off it's not nitpicking it's wanting visual authenticity, which is a preference.

Secondly this thread is a comparison thread on visuals, not gameplay.

Gameplay from 2k has been great, why would we continue that topic, when he is obviously making a point on how he was able to do it, and they haven't done it, it's been an issue since the beginning.
