Wish 2K17 would return to portrait pictures

[TeamBuilder]

In older 2K basketball games, the roster screen showed player portraits. See above, how we only see Curry's face? That was how every player was displayed in the game, with a portrait and a generic white shirt.

When players were traded, they kept their same face and the same generic white shirt. It was terrific because real life players always had their real picture.

Now, the past 2 years we have had action-shot pictures of players in their team uniforms - and if they are traded or change teams in MyGM we lose the picture and get a computer generated image of the player (see Damian Lillard below).



I really wish we could return to the older player portraits because they kept real players looking real, and we didn't have the ugly mix of player portraits and computer generated images on our roster screen.

I really like the way it is now. Would be better if it was optional. But I hope they keep it as is w/ players becoming computer generated.

No thanks to portrait pictures. It looks weird when you see real portraits especially during games when they don't even look like that while you are playing. Have you played NHL 16? They use real life videos of the commentators and it looks off.

I support the way it is now.

I like it now but I'd rather them just leave the photos the way they are instead of replacing them with computer-generated ones.

Agree, instead of issuing a cyberface picture of them in a new jersey like he said happens in MyGM, just leave it to their real life photos. I like how it is now except for that part.

i just wish players kept their pictures even if traded to another team. the computer generated pictures are annoying. It's so weird looking through your players then seeing like 3 of them doing the same pose

I like the CPU renders. However, I would like to see more natural poses. Just have the standing strait up with their hands behind their backs. Or just got Witt the headshots we see when trading players in ML

I love the idea, but hate the execution. The poses are just really bad and nothing like the ones 2K has for the regular players (seriously, what is Damian Lillard doing there? Checking someone out?). Should either add more poses or just keep the pictures the same.

I like the way it is now, but I would prefer if it would generate a new image occasionally. I hate adding a new player, changing his number, then his image is stuck with a weird #.

2k17 also needs to fix the height caps on created players in general. It's stupid that you can find 7'3" players in draft classes, you can create 7'3" MyPlayers but you can only create 7'2" players in the Player Creation center?? They also need to make it so that you can turn off nicknames when creating a player because most of them are stupid and cheesy. Stuff that nobody would ever call a real NBA Player.

I actually agree with the OP. The white tee portraits are simpler and quite frankly must be easier to manage and code or whatever.

The action shots just look silly.

Re: Wish 2K17 would return to portrait pictures

Much prefer the players being in their actual jerseys like even the real portraits are. And some of those are action shots.

Like I said, I love how it CPU generates but I agree w/ others it should be a lot more stances and action shots. I thought 2K made a great decision doing it this way. But seems like it wouldn't be that hard to have it optional for an example if Russ left and went to LAL, that he'll still be in a OKC jersey. But I would much rather them CPU generate. I would hate the basic close up and white tee portrait to come back.

I love your idea of portraits/action shots being optional. It appeases everyone.
