Uniform/Hat Combinations

One of the things that has bugged me about 2K's baseball games in the past is their inability to get the correct hats paired with the correct uniforms. They are the only one who can make a game and have the MLB license, it couldn't take much time to get the hats right! Now, I fully expect people to jump on me about how trivial this is, but give me a break. I have seen the A's wear the incorrect hat with their black alternates, which they wear at home, and then they put the black hat with the green alternates, which they only wear on the road. Just from a color scheme, the visual doesn't look right.

Also, the batting helmets have been off for a while as well, and are still incorrect in the 2K9 version. Oakland wears batting helmets on the road that mirror their hat (green with the yellow "A's" logo), yet there has always been in this video game a green helmet with white logo. The Cubs wear helmets on the road which also mirror their road cap (blue with the red bill), and in the came always wear the home helmet.

Small bones to pick, but still, with an exclusive license, get it right! This isn't college with 119 teams, there are 30!

I'm not normally one to complain about such things, but as soon as I saw that the Jays had gray batting helmets, I was transported back to 2004, and not in a good way. I don't think the Jays EVER used gray batting helmets.

That's another one, I saw that one last year. The Astros also have gray batting helmets for some reason. I actually like the gameplay for the 2K9 so far, and have tweaked some sliders to my liking. I hate complaining, but this seems like too big of an issue for a company with exclusive licenses.

I think I got yall beat...The Mets alternate road jersey..Why do they have the blue fitted with a black jersey? come on 2K, how hard is it to put these things together...I guess I'll be playing 2K7 again this year. It's funny how The Show doesn't have the license but they manage to put the correct Mets jersey in their game

[bigbensintown]

Yeah, its just common sense. That is how the A's black jerseys are, with green and yellow hats, and the green and gold jersey with the black hat, meant specifically for the black jerseys.

It's good to find others who get annoyed about this! For some reason, I just find it inexcusable to NOT have accurate uniforms in the game. How hard can it be? Do your research, then make everything the correct color, etc. I've never played a 2k game that had correct uniforms- and most of the errors are not little minor ones either. It's as if they just try to "get it close". As long as the jerseys have the team name, they think it's good enough.

The Rangers have worn a blue jersey with their gray road pants since 2001.... 2K still hasn't included it! They've got it paired with white pants, so how hard would it be to take the same top, and pair it with gray pants?! What's worse- they have a RED hat paired with the blue jersey at home. That's just plain carelessness. Fonts are all screwed up, stripes on the pants are not correct..... just annoying. Trivial?? Yes. An example of 2K's attention to detail (or lack thereof) YES.

the phillies wear a blue batting helmet with a red bill in the game with the alternate jerseys. They only wear those hats not batting helmets. They wear the all red batting helmets in fact they don't have any other batting helmets. Heres a link to a picture http://www.philliestickets.net/img/pat.jpg

Can't they fix all of this through a roster update? They fixed a couple of unis/hats already. Anyone fill them in on this?
