Minor complaint but to whoever initially posted all the pics if you post more please turn off the “intense” face so we can actually see what the players look like lol.

Another year of not being able to edit the coach appearances. Why was that ever removed.. makes no sense. I’m guessing there isn’t a way to get accurate coaches for All-Time teams?

I found this video from Gamingwithova showing some of the new faces. I haven’t played since 2k20 I think so I’m really pleased with these. Kudos to everyone involved in these improved faces but I can’t believe there were so many that hadn’t been changed since 2k11! To finally see Divac look good & AC Green! He hasn’t even been close before but he looks great. It’s frustrating though because you wish every player could get upgrades. I’d love a young Jason Kidd. Then again, they’ve got Karl Malone with hair. Can’t be greedy! They’ve done some outstanding work this year.

Antoine Carr and Hersey Hawkins are a couple of the big winners I noticed (and Will Perdue, now that I think about it). Greg Ostertag... not so much.

And oh my god... I never thought this day would come. 2K12 Vinny Del Negro finally met his untimely demise. Was an amazing run.

This Eras undertaking was so massive that there was no way there wasn't going to be things missing that feel big to us. It's completely understandable that they had to stop somewhere.

So with that in mind, it's worth noting that the late 90's isn't a great time in Eras for court changes. By that I mean that teams like the Pistons, Rockets, Suns, and Cavaliers undergo very drastic brand overhauls (jersey and logos) but their courts do not change. By 1998 they're all still playing on their 1992 courts, which means, as of right now, no teal floor for the Pistons, no rocket ship for Houston, no baby blue for Cleveland, and no Barkley-era sunburst for the Suns.

I know that will likely be upsetting to some folks but again, I don't think you start tackling a mode like this without knowing you're going to have some limitations. It seems a lot of their work understandably gravitated toward the starting years of the mode.

All that said, Vancouver looks amazing.



The trick, for now, may be finding a team that has a distinctive court from the start of the era you're beginning and then transitions into one already in the game. For instance, the 1992 Spurs have their HemisFair court and I bet they should successfully move to the Alamodome court in '93-94 (if they don't, they should, since that court's been in the game for 11 years).

I wonder if 2K has considered the idea of adding a couple more crucial courts via patch throughout the year. We could even luck out if the Pistons (wearing teal in real life this year on throwback nights) roll out a throwback court for those teal nights, as 2K's always been good about adding alternate courts. Could help with the Suns too.

The Jordan Nets team has real players 9 deep down to Tate George and friggin Roy Hinson.

I'm actually quite impressed. Even the Magic/Bird era Nets team has about 6 players. I'm also quite impressed that they even got the courts close to what they were in those era's as well. I'm sold.

Divac has been a looong time coming

Good to see him updated

I do have to mention, that I really do like the classic presentation and intentional 'bad' camera's for each era. I feel that might be a contentious point around here though.

I haven't gotten to it yet, but I wonder if I play the kobe era long enough to say no to the Brooklyn move and keep the Nets here.
