LEGENDS Thread - NBA 2K18 & beyond: (Accessories, jerseys, sig styles etc)

[VDusen04]

As someone who really enjoys playing Quick Games with classic teams, here's another huge correction in 2K18 for me:

The generic blonde coach talking to you in random clichès during time-outs is gone.

This was one of the biggest immersion breakers for me in 2K17. Every single time-out, there'd be a cut scene of a 30-year-old rando pulling the '96 Bulls/'87 Lakers/Everyone to the side and saying things like, "Alright guys looking good out there!" It was the worst.

I'm still waiting for some new annoyances to pop up (create-a-player is one) but for now, 2K18 seems to have addressed a lot of my personal borderline game-breakers from the year prior.

Separately, to keep my post on the thread topic, just for my own amusement I decided to re-visit an old friend who's been struggling since he made his first appearance as a stand-in for Chandler from Friends in NBA 2K12. These days, he's just... he's in a bad way. I think we need to finally get Vinny Del Negro some help:

2004 Kobe is just NBA NBA 2k16 Kobe. It bothers me they couldn't just add a bit of detail to Kobe. They obviously got it right in NBA 2k4 look at the comparison.

It's interesting to me how some legend players look spot on and others look horrific. Almost like they let the new guy handle some of the faces without supervision. Here are 3 easy examples:

I'm pretty sure my second full game of 2K18 was better than any of my 2K17 experiences at any point. Also, pretty pumped about the inclusion of this guy. Perfect for adjusting those Pistons to an '05 squad for a Finals re-match with the Spurs.

He reminds me of Buck Williams, for some reason.

Dont like KJ and X man, but that King is fine imo

[alecast]

Xavier and Johnson look terrible. Ugly as hell.

[jmarcguy]

KJ & Xavier are two of the bad ones. Then I looked at Dale Ellis and they nailed him I think. Also, Xman was 6 7'. I think the game had him as 6 9'.

To those playing with classic teams, can you replicate era specific style of play? Naturally the game plays best with current perimeter focused teams but I was wondering if anyone tried a 90's low post focused style. The post game is such a change for me coming from PS3.
