daveberg, you might want to add portlandblazer's detailed list of legend accessories to the first post:

You could also include material from these threads:

I recommend you add everything relevant to the first post, did this with Pared in 2011 & 2012, it keep things more ordered.

P.S. You will notice my OCD with detail in art in my posts.

Sadly it's 2k17.

Looks like they finally fix Wilt! Yeah

Yea 2k seem to be cutting a lot of corners to not spend too much money I guess. Hardly any signature shoes, very few of the actual coaches and a bunch of other things they leave out.

Man itd be cool if 2k somehow pulled off getting Miller and Barkley on their respective all time teams..

Not holding my breath but what a surprise that would be...

Shoot I'ma hold my breath as long as it takes. i just can't see 2k doing something big like this without them included on their teams.

One of my biggest complaints with classic teams is how bad the uniforms look. I would assume modifying the faces would be very time consuming, but jerseys shouldn't be as time consuming. Apart from all the color inaccuracies , the numbers and font look way too small. I couldn't play with a lot of teams because it just looked so bad. Here's an example. Just compare real life Isiah with his in-game model..

Right on. I'll get more specific.

Carter's windmills were typically full windmills. Meaning, they had very limited break in the elbow (if any) and reached behind his body. He'd also usually hammer them in but not grab the rim (in contrast to a lot of Dominique's windmills).

Carter's Windmill reference:

Spoiler

As is well-documented, Carter's 360's were unique because they twisted clockwise. His signature 360 was the Statue of Liberty one-hander but he also frequently went with two hands as well.

Spoiler

I personally feel as though he's in need of signature alley-oops as well. That full windmill referenced above also occurred via alley on occasion.

It also sometimes seemed as though he was more likely to finish a lob with a reverse than standard flush. Sometimes it was off two-feet, sometimes off one:

And sometimes he'd just superhero a one-hander via lob:

He also frequently utilized a clockwise 360 layup, though more in New Jersey than Toronto:
