    Calling All CAP Makers

    For those who have downloaded the DC - do you think we'll be able to create some decent CAPs? Last years problem was that every created player didn't have eyebrows. That was fixed to an extent this year but it looks as if every player is sad or this "shy" look. Anyways I tried my hands at a Charles Barkley but its not worth posting since he turned out more like Samuel L Jackson. And my Michael Jordan CAP wasn't too great either. Anyways, if anyone has some CAPs they want to share they can post it here.

      The cap system is still mediocre this year. While it's far better than 2K9 it could still use more options. 2K8's version gave out more varied and accurate results. I like the 2K10 method (which is basically a scaled down version of what's found in the Tiger Woods game series), but if you worked really hard with 2K8's system it had better variety. Of course it's big downfall was that for some reason changing one slider would effect several others.

      I can only hope that the disk version of 2K10 is better than the Combine's version, but I doubt it.

      I managed to make my guy look shockingly like myself.

      The key is to #1 not be vain. If you've got a big head, then you've got a big head. Secondly you need to look at the size ratio of your facial features and use "markers" for how things are placed.

      For instance.

      The sides of my mouth line up perfectly with the curve of my jaw. And the width of my nose corresponds to the edges of of my irises. The height of my nose is about in line with the lobes of my ears.

      You use things like that to "line up" your face. I used a mirror when I was making my guy and I basically just drew mental lines across my facial features this gave me the proper placement and size ratio for everything.

          I know its off topic, but for those that played DC, did the overall graphics improve from your eyes?? Never played it yet.

            For the most part and what experience with so far I believed its very possible to create some very decent missing players once the season roll along. On my 3rd go around I was able to make a Joseph Forte ( '01 Draft pick by the Celtics).

              this cap mode is 50 times better than 2k9. the only problem is its too deep and while its so much better it will take a lot longer to get the guys looking just right. i can see myself taking months now to finish just one historic roster rather than weeks. im pretty sure i wont be doing as many rosters for 2k10 as i did for 2k9, and i did about half as many for 2k9 as i did for 2k8.

                    um... not to toot my own horn but i am the most talented face sculptor lol! im not saying it will be difficult, just time consuming, whereas 2k9 caps were fairly quick because it was so limited, there was only so much you could do. now not only will i have to mold the face but match all the sig styles etc...

                    really hoping we get short shorts though because the addition of compression shorts will be sick for the late 80s early 90s players. wish they would have added a high top fade, not the kid n play ones the old 2k games had though, it was only good for kenny walker but his hair wasnt quite that high. remember that sumo hairstyle? about as pointless as having goodens patch. they could have also had some better sideburns. oh well, i should be thankfull they finally got a decent cap mode.

                        You're right, this is 10 times better than 2k9 cap!

                            I have to say "ditto" to Portlandblazer saying he is the best sculptor in OS. By far, the best and we cant wait til your caps are entrenched in our 2K10.
