So the computer can wear accessories we can't?

Help me understand something. In my game, Jared Cunningham who is currently in my season on the hawks, wears a pair of longer leggings with a pad on the shin that stop just above the sock line. I believe Durant wears them as well. Yet they're not available anywhere in the MyPlayer store. Kirelenko and Udonis Haslem wear a knee pad and calf sleeve...at the same time (OMG). Yet, I can't with MyPlayer. So how is it these things are built into the game already, we're just locked out from using them ourselves?

Yeah, it's mind boggling. You can even do it to other players by editing them in MyGm, yet you can't wear a calf sleeve and knee pads on My Player.

Honestly, I am pretty disappointed with the customization. I don't like pre-set faces and with rookies in my second season having the same face just different hairstyles--it is getting really repetitive. It really surprises me too since other 2K games had great customization.

Another thing is, all these famous players have great tattoos. Yet, the ones given to us are awful and/or look weird when put on. I don't think it would have been difficult to implement pieces of other players tattoos at least to mix and match to make sleeves of your own. They are in the game and it is not as hard as people may think. They could have just mapped the tattoos (which they probably did) and when applied they auto-proportioned. Much like how gear works.

Also, the lack of body types is annoying. No matter what weight you choose, the body type is always the same...

At the end of the day, they'll probably blame it on the network and the park. But it lags anyway, so it wouldn't be a great excuse.

Hopefully when 2K15 drops they will have more control on what they can do with the new consoles.

I 100% agree with everything u just said. It amazes me that we have all this new tech, yet somethings like facial customization take a step backwards? I can see it being a case of having limited time to properly implement a new facial customization system that would be capable of creating faces that appear to be on par with the other player models in the game. But that excuse won't fly come next year. Body types need to be seriously addressed. Again, how is it there are (slightly) different builds in the game already, we just can't select them for MyPlayer? You've already coded it! Just like the accessories. It's coded. Game didn't break. So makes no sense for us not to be able to use an asset that's readily present. Just stupid

Yeah. I'm sure your guess is right also. It is the same as mine. New console means new developing tools to learn with a deadline to get a next gen title out. They will have no excuses with 2K15. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I actually hope NBA Live gets its act together next year. Some competition would put a fire under 2k's ars. I mean, no freestyle practice for My Player!? It's already there for the scripted first season! (Score 20 straight jump shots)

2K's art team is lazy and focused attention to details that we didn't ask for or care about.

I can assure you not one member or player of ANY 2k ever in life wanted them to have 'every bulb' in 'every arena' detailed to the exact hue/blah blah...

In reality I HIGHLY doubt they took that time to focus on the color of the lights when they can't even get the uniforms, players, or courts right. Then the talk of the detail on the backboards and the sidelines, but generic CAP faces for your my players AND other rookies using the same exact faces...like come on guys. 2K never had a problem selling the game because of the lighting in the arena, but they insisted on making that some type of selling point??

It's not just that...they did this while neglecting all the stuff they knew fans love.

So all in all. 2Ks art team is not only lazy, lol their PR is filled with misconceptions. As it's supposed to be, but this feels quite like false advertisement, lol...

It's because of the way they implemented editing your my player. Unlike the normal editing of players, My Players accessories are edited from a server versus being on disc, if you notice your game always downloads accessories before you can equip anything...this is my take on the matter. 2K should really think about going back to the pre-VC era customization days and give us back the control we once had. I don't mind them spicing things up to be more in line with Next-Gen gaming but not at the expense of losing what worked so well and really made 2K what it was. Just my thoughts.

lol, I wish they'd go back but it won't happen. It will just become a more micro-transaction-based game where we'll probably have to spend 5000 VC to even begin MyPlayer mode.

If that ends up happening, I will be done with 2K, and would seriously consider trying to stomach the other franchise if it is still around.
