Good thread Steve

First off Karl Malone does NOT have on his signature LA Gear shoes

Just look how he dunks past FRObe Bryant with those generic kicks!

-Striped socks
- Shorts move a lot
- The video effect on old games is optional (?). I noticed Jerry West/Bill Russell in color
- Rodney Stuckey's historically bad haircut has found its way onto Chris Webber's head
- Bill Cartwright has more camera time than Penny Hardaway
- 70's Hawks have last names at the top of their jerseys
- Magic has on some pretty cool kicks

It appeared as if the Great Western Forum had a different type of scorer's table in the Magic Johnson picture. I didn't notice that while watching the trailer.

Also, the inclusion of all these 90's teams home floors (Houston, Orlando, Denver, San Antonio) is going to really, really bolster roster sets this year.

The first thing I noticed was kobe's fro

are the numbers wrong on the Run TMC Warriors uniforms? they look like the same style numbers from the Warriors jerseys of 2000-2010.


Anthony Mason & Charles Oakley look buffer than in 2K11, which is a good thing.

Lakers Kareem looks spot on. maybe a little less hair than he had in 1987, but I couldn't care less.

Bobby Jackson's upper body looks darker than his lower body.

Oscar Robertson looks spot on.

Stockton looks better this year, and Lakers Shaq looks a little too skinny.

Rodney Rogers looks spot on.

Muggsy Bogues is short and Kendall Gill appears to have...blue'ish hair?

Olajuwon looks absolutely perfect.

Tom Heinsohn looks old as hell!

I love the knee braces with the holes in them.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

Yep. I can't remember when 2K added those Warriors uniforms (2K10 maybe). The numbers have been like that since they brought them back. The real numbers should definitely be "duller" with less slants and points.

Numbers are wrong, shocking 2K is making that mistake..... This mode is gonna be awwwwwweeeeeeeeeesome.

One of the big big thing I loved was the dream shake (however I think it'll be much like Kobe's up fake reverse pivot move under the lay ups package), and the tv style they're implementing in this game.....

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

- Knicks Arena is more lit up this year then it has been in the past. An indication that we're finally getting the real Madison Square Garden?

- Calf sleeve/socks bug that people have been whining about seems to be gone.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

-Mitch Richmond has his head shaven like in 1995.
-Danny Ainge has his 1986 look in the 1991 Blazers
-The Warriors are wearing 80's shorts
-Penny Hardaway has his 36 year old face
-Patrick Ewing has his old face too
-Horace Grant has the wrong goggles in the Magic
-Classic courts have the charge semi-circle in the paint
-The 80's and 90's Lakers accessories are purple

:34::34::34:

On the positive side, I love Bill Laimbeer's rants and complaints to the refs call :)

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

hopefully that's not just with Jordan's calf sleeve.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

y hasn't it been in the games? They are also missing the real Conseco Fieldhouse home of my Pacers! lol

Muggsy Bogues came to bj armstrong shoulder lol!!!!!!

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

1.Duckworth! :woot:

2. I counted 3 different styles of knee sleeves. More accessory options this year?

3. A lot of the faces are spot-on.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

MJ's armband is pink!

Some 1970s jerseys have NOBs (names on back) when they should not.

Nitpick, haha. Everything else looks great if we can edit the shoes.

Haha, The Conseco Fieldhouse issue is all about money. It would be nice, but I think Conseco won't sign off on the "naming rights" and the City of Indianapolis has to have some sign off on it as well. Would be cool, but neither 2k or EA ever had an accurate depiction of the arena. It would be pretty awesome though @RleWorm to see it, but don't have your hopes up.

These classic players look good, hopefully they can keep it up and put some more stars in either via DLC or by 2k13. I'd like to see Reggie and Sir Charles, classic AI, Classic Shaq, heck put all the big time players in the game from their Rookie years. Have like the All-Stars Rookie Rosters. I think it'd be sick.

Looking forward to this game, as well has this years NHL. The addition of "Legends" really pulls me in.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

"Whining"...it sounds bad to me. As if you meant that people have been complaining about something that's not important. I don't know what's the reason, but it happens here a lot that if people are asking for something other than gamplay, at some point there will alwas be some comments that claim these things are not important and 2K should only focus on gameplay.

"Shhhh! Don't post anything about graphics/accessories/shoes - it's not important and it's a waste of time".



(assuming that's what you meant)

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

Thanks for the clear up!

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

There wasn't Canadian flag in the 80's.
Most of classic players wear this ****ty generic shoes (again!)
Hakeem Olajuwon looks great!
Magic got he's Converse shoes, but his accessories are purple
Penny looks old (how 2k can do that?!)
Mourning has weird face, Bogues is to tall.

I think that most of this legend players are preety wanting, but we'll se the full effect on October 4th

I really want them to get Penny right. The current 1996/97 season mod for the PC version of 2K11 has him dead on! It's perfect. And we need to be able to put the sweat bands on the elbow already!

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

lmao @ Mitch Richmond's face... my goodness, hope Noah and Bynum don[t have the same faces they've had since 2k8

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

the neck holes look like they all got stretched out

webber looks too light skinned

celtics socks are too long (hope they have medium stripped socks available and not just long)

richmond should have hair

kareem should have hair

im praying that number 34 on bucks is a generic and not supposed to be terry cummings, he should have hair and that looks NOTHING like him

looks like they could have nailed duckworths jumper

ewing needs black sleeves under his white pads

retro teams still dont have warm-ups

nuggets blue is too light

a majority of these faces are from previous versions of 2k

i wonder what 2k pays the guy whos job it is to put accurate accessories on these players. he could easily download my work and copy it over. oh well, looks like i might have my work cut out for me again. :confused:

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

So how about all the things they did right?

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

looks like all they did was take faces they had from previous game and just put it on this game cause that Mitch Richmond was in last years game hidden on the disc.

2k is kinda lazy for this.

I agree some of the faces and body sizes are bad...penny was thin and bulky his second year they have his Knicks body type...Richmond had a round face and had hair when he was with the warriors...young Kobe looks okay....I don't understand why they do a great job in some artistic areas then do a bad job in others...if these mods can do a better job at home then they should be able to do a better job in the studio using hi-tech equipment...where are the engravings in the wrist bands and the sleeves below the knee pads

Where is Ahwaz muscles he should be much Bulky than he looks he was won of the most dominant players during that time...c'mon 2k....with that said still a day 1 buy

Shaqs muscles* damn auto correct

For everyone pointing out the cons with the courts, jerseys, faces, etc remember that 2k said they will be releasing onine updates for graphical things like this. Hopefully anything that isnt fixed when the game is released will be fixed with an online update.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

yeah i'm still skeptical about this and if they did do daily updates it would be only for the current nba players.

I'm def buying the game but I doubt any changes to players physical appearances

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

2k should have plenty of time to update the classic players if they wish to do so. The update feature won't even get used on current players if there is no NBA season, which seems more and more likely.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

When did Chris Webber ever have that hair cut...Show me the footage baby!

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

cool feature, but i'm not gonna hold my breath. considering how hard it is just getting 2K to notice a ratings/shot release request, i dont think they're gonna be falling over themselves to recreate artwork. we'll probably only get updated art if they completely miss the mark on something (ie. the cavs court that 2K11 shipped with)

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

i was surprise to see such a poor chris webber...penny is a must fix...and maybe 2k know they have to fix certain players thats why they only showed them for a fraction of a second...oct 4 cant wait

Please make these teams playable in online ranked/leagues

i disagree because Rodman's face looks spot on. It was good in last years game but it looks even better this year.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

Bill Russell's Celtics need to be wearing black low-top shoes and lower socks.
Larry Bird's Celtics need to be wearing black shoes as well and lower socks.
The paint for the Jazz needs to be more green.
The paint for the Sixers needs to be more royal blue and less navy blue.
This is what Chris Webber's hair needs to look like.

Re: NBA 2K12 Screenshots (Taken From NBA's Greatest Trailer) - What Catches Your Eye?
 

well they have changed a few (bird and magic) but the others have the same look from previous games.You can literately Dload ooff of 2kshare and play with most of these guys (some with black arms) right now and they would look exactly the same.

I wasnt trying to say they didnt put no effort at all but you can tell they took shortcuts which will hurt the mode alittle

I love it all but it baffles me that Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller are not going to be in the game. I understand that there is some kind of licensing agreement thingy or money consideration blah blah blah which prevents them from being in the game. But... 2K needs to do whatever they have to do to get them in the game. Reggie Miller and his Pacers had some of the best Playoff games/series in Professional basketball history. 8 points in 12 seconds, are u kidding me??? I don't think everyone completely grasps how amazing that entire series was. Reggie single handedly won the game and the series for the Indiana Pacers numerous times.. all by himself. He should have a challenge just for himself. lol.. This guy is THE "DEADLIEST" and "MOST FEARED" Clutch athlete of all time. Besides Jordan & Bird, arguably, R. Miller was the best when it counted the most. I'm a basketball fan and respect all athletes and with that said Reggie Miller should be in this game. But if he ends up not being in the game... that's okay because 2K has done a phenomenal job with their basketball simulations over the past few years. Every year their BBall games continue to get better. Much respect but please get R.Miller and Charles in the game.. No offense to J.Stockton, one of the best point guards in NBA History, but he should not be a "spotlight" in the games' list of legends. That's all I'm saying.. =) Take care everyone and enjoy the game when it comes out and don't take things so seriously. These games are made for us to have fun and enjoy.. So lets do that!
