Completely agree!

Bird looked nearly perfect in 2k12 and so did Jordan. I don't understand why they can't improve the retro guys for next gen. Jordan is just embarrassing.

These screen shots are from 12.

Jordan looks cartoony and like a goof. Eyes too big. Never really smiled showing his teeth and something wrong with his shape and ears are bad. Why is he so bad and pippen and Drexler look fantastic ? Who's in charge over there ? Lol lets hope the signature shots are rocking

Larry Bird's model is flat out terrible. Are the artists working at 2K blind?

Year after year they have made him look terrible, and his body is always far too clunky.

White guys in 2K are just awful in general. I really don't understand why they find it so difficult to create white players that don't look like aliens and have hair that doesn't look like big clumps on their heads.

I see 2k ****ed over the legends once again....yet another reason why this feature should definitely be implemented into the game going forward https://youtu.be/49n1Ni-KYXA

At least it's not just me.

Was beginning to think I was heading back here the same time every year, seeing the legends unchanged - perhaps I was just looking for something to gripe about.

Seems to not be the case.

Here's an image I found from 2k15 vs a PC mod - the contrast is shocking.

I find the hair is especially bad. And for non white guys hair its not amazing either. Curry's preview pics from last year I remember looking very "fuzzy" haha...... it was odd looking.


They need an art dept. OVERHAUL or a major sit down at the very least haha.

See that PC mod is great! And take that away, the original MJ in the previous gen 2Ks were solid to begin with. Now stay with me but if they had;


Each of the legends with that level of facial quality and a good core signature animations I'd be happy. VERY happy. I'd run with Bulls all the time now that Czar has a very nice free lance triangle in the game.....


And it's not THAT big an ask I don't think. 2K11 dropped 6 years ago nearly. So you'd think they could've "built" from that.

But the legends have gone backwards. MJ doesn't even appear to have much "signature" about him now and he once did.


Here's hoping....
