Sig jumpers

[Smirkin Dirk]

IMO this is one of the best additions to 2K in the last generation. It has taken authenticity to a whole new level.

Does anyone know how the dev team animate them? Ive seen that they hire actors to 'act' them and mo cap these actors, but Im not sure how legit this is.

We all know the many of the sigs are off. If players are brought in for facial scanning, why not get them to put up a few jumpers aswell? I have no tech knowledge, so my question is probably naive.

Also, would you like to see multiple jumper animations for players? Ive seen a few posters be in favour of it. For example, Dirk's 14 footer looks a heck of a different to his 3 ball. Should players have different animations for different ranges?

I would love to. Like Paul Pierce had a set three point shot in 2K11. People complained about it though, sadly.

Which is stupid since he has a set shot in real life but in 2k11 he also had the shot he has right now, only the 3s were set shots. It was realistic since it's exactly how he shoots but I can see why people complained about it.

Everything was better in 2k11 tho

I'm just glad they allow us to extensively edit the sig shots....not so good for online guys, but one of my favorite features as an offline guy. Id like to see set shots return as well...hopefully they are editable if they do.

They should develop a technology that caputres players likenesses of off real game footage. Pick out a moment where the cameras catch (insert sig move and NBA player here) in several angles and tag him with 'virtual mo-cap dots'.
You know the little balls on the mo cap suits that look funny.

If they could manage to do that, they'd have an unlimited, easy and fast way to create sig animations.

Imagine the possibilities.

not sure if everyone is aware of this. great source for people that want to do their own signature shot updates
