Question for you guys: Any idea why this downloaded Pistons court gives me a crowd full of people with plain royal blue shirts? This is a playoff game but the same thing happens in the regular season, so it's not a "blue out" issue or anything.

If it helps, it's a court that's already in the game but I had to download it off 2KShare in order to make sure it was utilized only during its proper span (1988-1990). I'm guessing it's a 2KShare glitch for courts that are already in the game but if anyone know how to fix or avoid this issue, feel free to let me know.

Unfortunately whenever you change anything with custom arenas (full court edits) you lose a bunch of stuff like natural crowd attire. So it defaults to old 2K stuff like generic team colors for crowds. It’s the reason why I don’t download the 90’s United Center from 2K share for my Bulls in my custom superleague roster.

Ah, big time bummer. The weird thing is I don't remember the bland fan shirt thing happening with other custom courts I've downloaded. Typically it's just been the dark shadows and modernization of the stanchions and arena halos when someone edits the arena and not just the court.

1988-89 in the books. Pistons-Lakers final just like real life. Lakers took it in seven though. Playing through the 80's makes you really understand the impact of adding four new franchises in a two-year span, both from a league depth standpoint and from a design standpoint. Miami, Charlotte, Minnesota, and Orlando really pushed the league into the modern age and you can feel it in 2K.

Small role player correction needed:

Will Perdue appears blonde in the game, both from up close and especially during gameplay.



He was/is very clearly a brown-haired man.

How many games do you play/sim per season, V? Further to that, are you implementing accurate rosters every season? That must take a painful amount of time.

I've only just finished a full 82 game season and playoffs in 1992. Was a beautiful grind.

Great photos there.

My loose routine has been to play a game every two weeks of the season or so, heavily weighted toward Pistons games but sampling teams of note every given year. I'm in 1990 at the moment and there's a lot of teams that intrigue me so I'm taking a bit longer to cut through this season (1990 Pistons, Spurs, and Sonics all a lot of fun).

I am, indeed, handling all the offseason transactions and it's been a lot of fun. I have a routine of firing up a Spotify playlist of whatever year I'm working through then I take my time and make it happen. It's rewarding to see the teams change and take form from year to year.

Are you doing the real transactions from year-to-year? I was so lazy this year with the Eras, but I'm thinking of diving in like I originally planned during the offseason.
