I don't know if I'd say they're a joke. There's a lot of beautiful things in the game. But they definitely seem to lack the passion to get things as correct as possible.


I mean, if this was my baby, and I was in charge of this stuff, I'd wanna make everything look as good/accurate as I could.


Hairstyles is a biggie. Simple fixes like court colors (Bucks still WAY too dark), jersey colors/inaccuracies, skin tones (Giannis should be lighter, Middleton much darker, etc).


Heck, body types are just bad. Even without body scanning they should be able to replicate a players body by watching video/looking at pics. Most players are still too thick. Especially legs. Shorts are too long/baggy, etc.


Lighting could still be done better, tho it is better than last year. If they could get it closer to the lighting of the halftime highlights that'd be more realistic.

The hex pads represented in the game are nothing like what players actually wear today and the arm sleeve pads are 3times the size they are in real life, along with there being no difference really bewtween the elbow sleeve and arm sleeve in length. Dont get me wrong the game is awesome but yeah its as if they just went with near enough is good enough.
Like where are the adidas accessories with nba logos at the top of the sleeves like lillards for example. So close to perfection that honestly could be achieved in one patch but will most likely be trickled throughout the next few years of releases.

You have the right points my friends, the thing is 2K just recycle things over the years. For example these accessories, most of them i had on 2k14 (old gen-PC version) and i have them now just in better resolution but they're nothing like real NBA stuff. Nobody in NBA wears TechFit sleeves anymore but we have adidas NBA official sleeves with small adidas logo (howard, lillard). Hexpad long sleeves are not compatible with socks but they were compatible last year ? I don't see why downgrade it, but nevermind, we have major shoe update from star players what about league-wide shoes (Hyperdunk 15 lows) ?

I wish everyone in 2K have the passion i used to have when I played on PC, i wasn't cyberface modder but i could mod a thing or two like accessories back then on my PC, i don't see why is that problem for a people who are paid to do that ? This game is good but always feels unfinished and halfway done, that's what bothers me most. We get scanned shoes (YAAAY) but only to realize we have like 10% of shoes scanned...damn

Brook Lopez is growing his hair again. I know in past years 2k had a cyberface with hair for Brook. Hoepfully the art team updates

Props to the OP and all who contributed here. Wish someone from 2k would throw a bone in here or the cyberface update thread to say they WILL or WILL NOT be updating faces for 2k16 to give people hope or closure....

Exactly.


They obviously browse the forums. If they don't plan on updating any appearances, just tell us. I'm still holding out hope, but not holding my breath.


BTW, Michael Carter-Williams chopped his hair off.

Still waiting on a simple update of adding a headband to Willie Cauley-Stein. LeBrons comes and goes daily yet its been weeks and still nothing for Willie. But hey if we could just do it ourselves there would be no need for this.
