Revenue loss for 2k? From what?

Don’t they pay some of these guys to use their likeness? They’d be paying them less. Plus they are having to hire guys off Twitter like Razor or whatever his name was that they wouldn’t have to hire.

We desperately need a new CAP system, the current one hasn’t been updated since 2k19. The CAP faces look really bad compared to the new face scans. There’s some premade body types in the MyCareer player editor that could easily be ported over. We shouldn’t have to randomize generated players to find a body type that we want.

I still have nightmares about the CAP faces in the 2k16-18 era, those guys were scary looking.

My uneducated guess would be that a CAP system that robust may take up a lot of memory/space when it comes to replicating it for NBA games where there can be up to 15 players per side every single game.

Perhaps it's easier to have a detailed CAP system for a game that takes place in a contained environment with a limited number of participants (and with a smaller number of wrestlers overall).

As mentioned, I could be way off, I just know it wasn't that long ago that we had pretty modest CAP limits, so I kind of wonder if we're currently at this crossroads where the consoles have become strong enough to handle hundreds of "simple" CAPs (i.e. NBA 2K's current system) whereas a WWE CAP system would put us back in the zone of CAP limits, if that makes sense.

This could be true. But there are a lot of things they limit us on that would take no more space. Like picking the actual build/body style/muscle definition, giving us back body lengths, etc. I feel as far as face scans go, that likely takes up too much space. But I can't imagine just better build options are much of a limiting factor.

Also, this is why I wished the whole my career/park/all that was a stand alone game. Or treated like Warzone where it has it's own separate download. Pour as much into the "real" basketball as possible and have all the other stuff as an option for those who want it.

I feel like it's just not a priority. They've went sorta cartoon-ish in a way with all the park stuff and seem to have no issue with all CAPs looking similar to that to an extent.

I mean you may be right, I was just trying to figure out how.

It’s crazy how I always forget the mycareer/park stuff exists in my game and it’s probably like 80% of the game’s file space. There’s this entire massive stupid (to me) game I’m stuck with and not interested at all in. My portion of 2K would probably only be 20 gigs lol.

Imagine how advanced the basketball portion of this game would be if all those resources were poured into actual basketball. The presentation, immersion would be obscene.

It’s simply a testament to the game now. Most young fans aren’t interested in the technical aspect of basketball. The fashion, drama, highlights rule all. Like WWE.

Trying to work on a few of the older guys that 2k absolutely botched.
