My Era Courts and Jerseys

Re: My Era Courts and Jerseys

idk if anyone else noticed but apparently they send the Bulls to the United Center a few years early, was simming a bit to like '92-93 and they were there already despite them not moving to it until 1994

Ah good to know. I've noticed there's a few incongruencies on that front here or there. I wish I was paying closer attention throughout to piece together a rundown of what's on point and what's a bit early/late.

Off the top of my head:

Detroit Pistons: 2K has them in the Palace in 1983. The Palace didn't open until 1988 (assuming they just didn't have the time to make a Silverdome court).

Los Angeles Clippers: They should switch over to white/red jerseys for 1988-89 with new red court but they do not. Unsure if they ever do (downloaded custom made court and jersey set).

New Jersey Nets: They get stuck with the cursive font jerseys until their 90's makeover when in reality they only wore the cursive font for the '83 and '84 seasons. Should be the "NETS" vertical stripe jersey otherwise.

Milwaukee Bucks: They get their Bradley Center court a couple seasons too early. 2K gives them modern jerseys the right year (1986-87) but the court shouldn't debut until 1988-89.

Sacramento Kings: I stand to be corrected but I think the early 90's powder blue jerseys still have the player name located beneath the jersey number when it should be in the standard position above the number by then. Probably one of the most understandable omissions since I imagine it's easier to just make one single version of that jersey rather than doubling the jersey with only one difference (name location).

That's all that comes to mind in the 80's era at the moment.

I don't disagree with you. And being someone who works in a manufacturing environment, I understand the legalities of using and promoting a product considered to be discontinued. I was using "it makes no sense" in a hyperbolic way to express that aesthetically it should be clear why it would be logical to try and include those if possible, especially when they bring in a new feature like Eras and understanding how critical it can be to be historically accurate for the intent of a mode like that. From a business stand point, I would think it would make more sense for Nike, being the official partner, to only include jerseys they've produced/designed or to only include jerseys to be worn during the current season. This certainly seems to be coming from Nike, but I would have to disagree if it is their logic to only promote what's current. This would be different if it were concerning actual physical merch, but its a texture file in a video game that also includes retro jerseys that can no longer be purchased through the official means as well. However, I do want to say that I'm thankful for retros even existing in the game considering how other sports games handle unis. 2K leads the competition, in that regard. From a consumer stand point, obviously, we're going to want as much we can get. I'd still play the game if it handled unis like EA handles kits in FIFA, with only a home, away, and one, alt at best. If the game currently only included Nike designs or only what's current with no retros, the speculation for why some are included and some aren't would be minimal. That's not the case as it stands, though. Add to that the fact that they still included the Mamba jersey even though it hasn't been worn in-game since the bubble, I believe. So we know it's possible and the files already exist, thus leaving the room for speculation.

As you said, this is probably either a contractual move or it's done at the request of Nike, so I certainly don't intend to place blame on the devs. I'm still buying and playing the games. Just speaking my wishes into the ether, hoping that my desires for something I love to manifest into existence.

Trueski... I been creating some missing ones by the way to help with sims for people like me that need the current uniforms hahah
