Re: Attention to Detail in NBA's Greatest Mode

I remember one year 2k had the Chuck Taylors in the game as well




It would be great to include these now since they would be accurate for the time period.

Also Anfernee Penny Hardaway's body type should be slightly smaller than Jordan's. Here is a good example to illustarte this....





Next up Larry Johnson for the 1992-93 Hornets his body type should be huge very muscular



Hoping he has his signature hair, and I would be amazed if there was a way to give him the gold tooth

Also Michael Jordan for the 1989 Bulls should have a little bit of hair and not be entirely bald





This is a good mod on the PC showcasing what it could maybe look like......



and for the 85-86 Bulls there should not be an NBA logo on the jersey, and the shorts should be shorter and tighter than they were for them in 2K11

He's actually about 6'8" 1/2 in shoes. You reminded me of some player ingame with shoe heights being wrong in the Jordan Challenge in 2K11, that need to be corrected, plus others.

Spudd Webb: 5'7"
Danny Ainge: 6'5"
Byron Scott: 6'4"
Charles Oakley: 6'9"
John Starks: in between 6'3" & 6'4"
Anthony Mason: 6'8"
Stacey King: 6'10" (and he is a left handed player)
Ed Nealy: Closer to 6'8" than 6'7"
Sam Perkins: 6'10"
Magic: 6'8" 3/5> 6'9"
Bird: 6'10" (Same height as McHale, a legit 6'9")
Parish: 7'0"
Pippen: 6'8"
Daugherty: Closer to 7'1" than 7'0"
Larry Johnson: Closer to 6'6" than to 6'7"
Chris Mullin: Closer to 6'6" than to 6'7"
Scott Williams: Closer to 6'11" than to 6'10"
Hakeem Olajuwon: 6'11"
Kurt Rambis: Closer to 6'9" than 6'8"

On a side note honorable mentions to Doc Rivers and Gary Payton (Closer to 6'5" than to 6'4" )

Actually all the Lakers' accessories for home and away were blue or light blue, with the exception of Sam Perkins' yellow forearm band. At least the 90's Lakers one. In the 80's Magic did wear yellow knee pads in some seasons.

Re: Attention to Detail in NBA's Greatest Mode

It would be awesome if the Jazz and Sonics had these jerseys as retros:





Also the 1996 Bulls and 1998 Bulls should have their respective "Sunday" jerseys:

1996> Pinstripe:



1998> All Black:

Re: Attention to Detail in NBA's Greatest Mode

There should not be any NBA logo on Wilt Chamberlain's headband. It should not be there to be era accurate...



And speaking of the logo...Jerry West for the 1964-65 Lakers should have the old school flattopish haircut to differentiate him from his older player model.



also would be nice to get these particular socks for those Lakers as shown in this pic.....

Pic won't show up so here is the link

Which brings up a question I've been wondering about. After we unlock the 64-65 teams that are broadcast in black and white, will we have the option of playing in either color or black and white? It would be nice to play in color with these teams as well.

Re: Attention to Detail in NBA's Greatest Mode

I hope they pay respect to Horace Grant's face in 2K12:

-He should have a mustache, no goggles and more hair in his 1989 version:




-1991 should be somewhat similar to his 1989 face but with clear goggles with no frames:


-1993 should be pretty much the same as last year, although it can be revamped, white framed goggles slight fade and clean shaven:



-His 1995 Orlando Magic Version should be blue goggles with a black rubber frame, thin mustache and and goatee and his head fully shaven.

Re: Attention to Detail in NBA's Greatest Mode

Also to piggy back off what aloncho was saying about alternate jerseys. I think they should include alternate jerseys for the classic teams that actually wore them. Seeing as these are the teams themselves and not neccessarily from just any one particular game like the Jordan challenge was last year. So the two versions of the Bulls Sunday jerseys should be included for the 1995-96 and 1997-98 teams respectably.

1996> Pinstripe:



1998> All Black:



Also the two Orlando 1994-95 jerseys

Blue



and black

Also since they had the adidas Crazy 8s in last year I'm hoping they remain for this year, because that is the shoe that the 1997-98 Kobe Bryant wore.
