NBA 2K14 Screenshots - Legends (Jordan, Iverson, Magic, Zeke and The Dream)

Re: NBA 2K14 Screenshots - Legends

I am well aware that Thomas was not Dominique Wilkins 2.0. The video is only proof to show that the man COULD dunk in an nba game to show the poster I was responding to that he could indeed dunk. I was not counting how many times the man dunked in a game over the course of his career when I was growing up. There are many people in the pros who aren't typically dunkers who have dunked in an NBA game. Does that mean 2k should never put out a screenshot with X player attempting to dunk a ball? Like you said though not a big deal VD and this is the least of 2k14's issues to worry about.

You know, that's always been something I've kind of wondered about actually. Is there any way a game can account for those super rare dunkers? The kind of guys who have countless opportunities to jam each year, yet only choose to go through with it once in a blue moon? It seems 2K has tried to make headway on that front with dunking tendencies, but it still tends to be all-or-nothingish; as in, if Isiah has a high enough attribute to dunk, he tends to do it too much. Yet, if his attribute is too low to dunk, we never see him dunk.

My feelings on the likes of Isiah Thomas and Chauncey Billups is 99 out of 100 times I attack the rim with them, they should be attempting a layup of some kind. But how do we get that rare dunk? Is it possible to get that result without overdoing it? I'm not so sure at this point.

Anyway, yeah, no big deal. I thought that original poster knew Isiah could dunk, but was just surprised to see such a rare instance being used for a screenshot, since it'd likely insinuate a general regularity of occurrence within the game itself.

I really hope we get a green yellow iteration of the sonics jerseys and court. That would be awesome

Yeah that would be very hard to do in a hoop game VD. Tendencies help in regards to curtailing certain CPU controlled players from dunking but a user has the ability to override any tendencies thru stick input. The only way you could do this imo would be to take a little control away from the user and leave it somewhat to stats/probability/tendencies. For example say LBJ has a 50/50 ratio in regards to finishing with a dunk over a layup. You would then make the turbo + shot stick equate to both dunk/layup attempt and the tendency decides which one you get-Random yet based on stats as well as user input. Therefore 5/10 times LBJ will attempt a dunk over layup. Now say Thomas had a 1/99 dunk/layup ratio-This would mean every time you drove strong to the hoop Zeke would attempt a dunk 1/100 drives when turbo+shot stick is engaged. This would create those wow moments when a certain player dunks. That way where ever u would place the dunk/layup tendency could dictate how often you see X player dunk. Of course dunk ability/rating for X player still determines the type of dunks they can do. I would be ok with this type of system but I know most people don't like not being in control of every aspect of the game.

Re: NBA 2K14 Screenshots - Legends

Yeah, I agree.

I don't know... I wish LD2K would come up and explain us. It starts to bug me big time. I think the bulls where red in 2K11 too.

e/ lol nah nevermind, they where pink too.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with color conversion for different output devices. It might actually look red on their computers. I notice the color red can look very different in one colorspace to another. But regardless, I never understood why they could not fixed it or at least explained what could have caused it.

Look at the blue and red in the Pistons uniform though

The red and blue on the uniforms from this angle looks fine. Then look at Jordan, Iverson and you have a faded red, or the Warriors with a fade of blue. I have no idea how the conversion works but their current method needs work.

Re: NBA 2K14 Screenshots - Legends

Not impressed with the graphics, but it's obviously not going to change any more, so will have to accept it. Good to have legends once again, though.

Accessories alert/spoiler...

Spoiler

I don't understand why 2K insists on giving players by default that huge fore-arm band? Until they finally brought back the elbow band (in 2K12), then don't put on players by default (Iverson wore it, KG until last year wore it, '91 Playoffs and later MJ wore it). Also, I'm pretty sure MJ didn't wear a calf sleeve until 1989. He wore a knee pad back then.

looks Live is winning in the accessories department again. The only thing new is the words on them wrist bands.

Hmmm...I fired up 2K12, and the Bulls uniforms looks red to me.

We haven't seen any evidence towards that at all.

Agreed. Plus, most of us do not decide on which game is superior based on accessories lol.

Exactly, cause comparing current gen screenshots to nothing, ummmmm, I mean a cover athlete reveal trailer is reasonable. Especially when we don't even know if that reveal trailer was in-game graphics or more CGI phony bull****.

Re: NBA 2K14 Screenshots - Legends

When you look at MJ's jersey you see it red?

Looks red to me too. I noticed the light reflections on his shoes look a little pinkish but I would imagine they are supposed to.

Re: NBA 2K14 Screenshots - Legends (Jordan, Iverson, Magic, Zeke and The Dream)

Ehh... Allright. To me it's pretty pink here and on my TV aswell.

Re: NBA 2K14 Screenshots - Legends (Jordan, Iverson, Magic, Zeke and The Dream)

Bulls, Rockets, Cavs, and Raptors wear pink. The Wizard's unis were pink in 2K12, but are more red in 2K13, so that leads me to believe it IS fixable. The Knicks wear some weird shade of powder blue. Laker's purple is almost TOO purple. Needs a touch more blue in it. Here's hoping that all of this is fixed on PS4.

Re: NBA 2K14 Screenshots - Legends (Jordan, Iverson, Magic, Zeke and The Dream)

Lakers's purple is too strong too, you're right. It's like a flashy purple.

I wonder why the Heat's black is so underwhelming too? It's not like real black, it's black gray.
