NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

[The 24th Letter]

It’s that time of year again.

Like last year, We want to keep this thread constructive and efficient. as we’ll be sending this feedback over to the art team.

This isn’t a place to rant, or insult 2K’s art team. This will get you removed from the thread very quickly.

Let’s make it a great year!

Re: NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

Off the top of my head from videos I've seen:

Julius Randle had individual braids most of last season and not short cornrows.



Buddy Hield should have a headband with individual braids.



Anthony Davis should have the same hairstyle with headband.



Paul George has cut his hair and trimmed his beard. He has a low taper similar to the look he had in OKC.



Ja Morant needs thicker facial hair, he also has his hair tied up near the top of his head as opposed to the back. It is also longer and thicker than what's currently in the game (Darius Garland has the same hairstyle).

Re: NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

I don't have the time at the moment to pull up real life vs. 2K screenshots, but the players still have wonky player model anatomies, and by that I mean specifically the torso-to-leg length ratio. Torsos are waaay too elongated. If you look at any photo of Michael Jordan dressed up, you'd think he hiked his pants up above his belly button -- but that's just how long his legs are compared to torso. (In fact when Michael Phelps was in his prime, they did a comparison of how elite athletes like he & MJ have extremely disproportioned legs compared to their torsos, basically relating Michael Phelps to a dolphin.)


All that to say, the player models have looked odd/weird for years now because of it.

No playoff logos in MyNBA Eras on the court.

Rockets miss Hardwood Classic & City jersey.

Jalen Green has one hairstyle when he sported at least 3 distinctly different ones:

Re: NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

Game would be so great graphically if player models were improved. As someone else has mentioned; ridiculously long torsos. Ridiculously short legs. These are world class basketball players, not powerlifters. It’s a shame because pc player mods are soo much more accurate. Just Google Tmac and KD player mods.

Re: NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

From what I’m seeing and hearing this game has definitely improved from a graphical standpoint and it’s nice to see all the players with updated renders. But just hope they will eventually update Lebron via patch because it’s been 5 years he’s had the same cyberface. Besides giving him a slightly bigger beard last year he hasn’t been touched at all since 2K19. Even if they can’t sit him down for a new scan, at least an update would be great.

Re: NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

Can anyone see if you can put a headband on Kevon Looney?

It would actually be depressing cuz they basically just put a mop over his head but forgot to put a headband on him (something he wore ALL SEASON LONG)

Re: NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

Hoping there is a large player likeness update in the coming weeks.

I find it strange that the player pictures show what the player is supposed to look like but the player likeness doesn’t match it for a lot of them. In particular Lebron and AD. Smooth baby face, shorter beard Lebron and wrong hair and beard length for AD.

IMO skin and sweat looks improved from 2k22 but as others have pointed out in other threads, court textures in particular have taken a huge hit.

The ongoing joke of Robin Lopez outdated goatee face scan is still going strong since 2k14.

The addition of goggles on players like Bobby Portis is welcomed and looks well done

Custom headbands created for AD for example are a nice touch but unfortunately, as I stated it’s the wrong hair with it which can hopefully be updated.

Finally, checked to see if they had finally updated Carmelo Anthony….he was not, still

Re: NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

Please ask them to add this for the Rockets, since so many teams have 2010+ alternate jerseys and they have zero!

Czar has said that If a uniform is not in the game, there is a something preventing them from adding it.

The art team knows, but some throwbacks they cannot add to the game. Im assuming because it was under adidas?

Re: NBA 2K23 Art Feedback Thread

There is a bug, when you try to modify shoes or accessories of Wendell Carter, Richaun Holmes and Jalen Smith the glasses disappear.

Everything's right with Reggie Jackson.
