    Player Appearance Updates (Consolidation Attempt)

    Alright everyone!

    I haven't posted much on here but since joining OS I have always loved what I have seen. The ability for the 2k community to truly have an impact on the game is something that I both admire and respect. It's something rarely seen in any other game.

    That being said I have something I want to try out. One common thread that comes up is player appearances. The thread turns out to be really really...really long and I am making an attempt to try and clean it up a bit in order to hopefully make it more presentable as well as, in my opinion, more likely to be picked up by the devs, or artists or anyone at 2k.

    Now since this is just an experiment to gauge
    1) If you all actually like it
    2) If it works as intended and
    3) If the guys and girls behind the game actually think it is anything useful,
    I have made a simple spreadsheet that is dedicated ONLY to appearances in terms of hair/ facial features/ skin color and tattoos. I know there are many other things that can be changed but like I said, this is just an experiment. If this works out I will look into creating more. I am also trying out my first thread attempt at starting a thread so I am trying to learn from that as well so feedback is welcome.

    Now down to what this spreadsheet is. I have made this a public document to google docs that includes each team and their roster in separate tabs. The idea is that if you have a change that you see needs to be made, you type in a brief description of the change and hyperlink it to a picture which includes the date that the picture was taken. The reason for this is so that the community (and with any luck the 2k devs) can hop on to the doc, see what needs to be changed, and follow a link to the picture for verification.


    For the picture I have found that www.gettyimages.com has some pretty good pictures with the date clearly stated. Of course if you find something better please pass it along.

    I wanted to do things this way in order to prevent duplicates like the numerous Derrick Rose suggestions I have seen in other posts. Then if you think of it and it has already been done we avoid excess clutter in the thread. Please note that you may update suggestions that have already been made. Just overwrite it if it needs to be. If all goes well, we will get some feedback from the devs/artists stating a change was made and on what day and everyone is happy and every player's appearances are up to date.

    So take a look, I have additional instructions in the spreadsheet, feel free to add more at the bottom (please include on all tabs for everyone) and have fun.

    Thanks and GO CAVS

    EDIT #1: Added columns for "Needs New Face Scan" and for "Needs New Body Scan" at the end of the spreadsheet. If you have looked up a player and it looks like the scan has been updated then put "appears Updated", if it needs updating just put "Yes"

    ANY SUGGESTED CHANGES YOU HAVE, PLEASE ADD IT TO THE SPREADSHEET, NOT THIS THREAD

      Good idea. Instantly added that George Hill has blond hair now.

        Great job Dangerzone, I was actually planning on doing this myself, much needed, beat me to it

        Hopefully it leads to the lesser players getting attention as well since like you said this eliminates the repeated emphasis on the Derrick Roses.

          Tony Wroten currently appears on every tab?

            Good idea for thread.


            Any chance we can add skin tone to the list as well?

              Yes he is currently on there as an example. So that way if you need a reference you just have to look up

                I would add it under the face/ hair column. For now. If it starts getting a bit crowded in that column an additional one sure can be added. The thought is that there will only (hopefully) need to be a couple changes per player. If the latest picture is linked and someone else notices something they can just add to the description. Let me know what you think. Appreciate the feedback.

                  Re: Player Appearance Updates (Consolidation Attempt)

                  Dangerzone, for some reason I'm having a problem adding my pics. Is there a way you can add these?


                  Jabari has longer hair now, as seen in the pic, as well as Michael Carter-Williams.


                  OJ Mayo's hair needs an update as well.


                  Now, if this makes it easier (if possible) for 2K, they could add Jahlil Okafor's (76ers) 2K hair to Jabari, and Jakarr Sampson's (76ers) 2K hair to Mayo. Mayo's hair is longer in real life, but that hair looks much closer to what they have him with now.

                    if you're doing skin tones, Giannis needs to be lighter (to match Jabari). And Middelton needs to be darker than both of them.


                    Pretty much, if they swap Middleton and Giannis' skin tones, they'd have it right.


                    *edit- Just saw your last post.

                      I have gone and added the links. All I had to do for that is find the getty image and then copied the URL, type in a brief description (please update description if you think it should be), right click the cell you just typed the description into and you will see "insert link". Then I pasted the link and it popped up.

                      I am going to leave the out your other suggestion for now. I want to keep this as clean as possible for now and see how artists responded. I would think that the pictures up there will provide enough help for them. The spreadsheet might get a little cluttered and I am just hoping to keep it as clean as possible.

                        That would be a perfect addition to the Bucks Tab. The goal is to prevent the pages and pages of posts here. Just go ahead and add it to the file.

                            You did and it is what inspired this post. I loved what you had going and I am attempting to get it in a format that is a bit more user friendly.

                            I want to take the information you provided/ looked for and put it in one, clean, user friendly place where hopefully our feedback can be better recognized. I am looking to eliminate the complaint posts and replace it with just images and to-the-point descriptions, eliminate the back and forth quoted posts which include 4 pictures each cluttering the thread and eliminate multiple postings of the same player by people who do not go through the whole thread.

                            I want the artists to be able to come to this thread, follow that link and see nothing but the most updated picture next to a brief description and the last date it was updated without the noise around it. I believe that in this format it will make their job more efficient and in the end help push out some of these updates at a faster pace.

                              Joe Johnson's jumper needs to be updated again. I got them to change it last season, but they must've put his old one back in.
