2K and "colours": Courts etc...

[Walt Frazier]

Just out of curiosity, is there a known reason why 2K is always "off" for colors?


I mean, their artists are obviously very good with some outstanding work to prove it...and yet they have never been able to nail court colours, jersey colours etc. There must be a legitimate reason as their artists are too good to simply "get it wrong".


Example: most courts in the game are completely wrong in terms of colour ad textures.


So, why can a modder fix it easily enough and yet 2K's artists have not been able to get most courts anywhere near realistic in years?


2K





REAL






MODDER

The Knicks And the Magics blue is off also. I don't think 2K is allowed to use the TD Garden for the Celtics that's probably why it just says Boston Celtics

Yeah, they cannot say "TD Garden" or MSG in New York etc for licensing reasons...


I am mainly talking about the colours/textures...and, especially, the floorboards. They are way, way off with most courts. Boston looks terrible compared to what a modder was able to do with the colours.

Agreed, these are not small details by any means in my opinion. Sometimes this game's graphics blow my mind, but you've got to admit there's a pretty striking contrast between the incredible attention to detail in terms of player likeness etc. (plus the thousands of "little things" that are deservedly discussed and lauded in another thread) and the way some courts are represented (Celtics, Knicks, Bucks, Magic are probably the ones most in need of an overhaul).

Look likes a lighting issue, can u put a pic of NBA Live 16 TD Garden to see how it compares. Also I always thought had a generic approach to arenas and colors as Live has fuller colors and the lighting is top notch in the certain pics I saw.

It could also be what the NBA sent to 2k...I'm curious if it's color codes they send out or just a high res pics and 2k just uses eye dropper tool for the courts and jerseys.

These are the two I know of its just the paint color that's off for the Knicks and 76ers should be darker. This 76ers pic is from last year only thing not shown in the pic is the ribbion things they have inside the arc.

Hi there Czar

If you go to NLSC you will see quite a few pictures...that is where I got those.

The Spurs, Warriors, Knicks....most courst to be honest have wrong textures and floorboards.

Some of your guys at 2K used to be modders at NLSC...so, I would be very surprised if they did not know the colours are wrong.

Ask Leftos...

Here is one link...once you go to the site, scan the reelease section and you will see a LOT of examples.

Hey Czar. For the Bucks court, it's mainly the color of the wood. It's way too dark in game. In real life, you can barely even notice the "M" designs.

Also, Bucks road unis could be a little darker as well.

The Celtics court on 2K16 looks like piss not gonna lie

Clippers court should be darker.

I second this after looking at most courts they're off.. The logos seemed washed and texturing on the floors is wrong.. The website provided above definitely has good references for you.

Knicks Blue is wrong and 3pt line should also be blue
