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

So far, I've been able to overlook most of the facial inaccuracies. That said, as if the 1989 Pistons didn't have enough facial inaccuracies as it is, I happened to notice something fishy going on with Isiah Thomas' left eyebrow tonight, haha. It's not really noticeable during gameplay but if you freeze-frame it...



I've been cycling through real life photos of Isiah for the last five minutes or so to see if I just never noticed he had a larger left brow. It actually kind of looks like he does in some shots. I can't figure out whether to laugh or be impressed.

Wow great find. A few players look better in 18, but like I said. Only a few. They clearly got worse . Dumars, Mullin, Lambier, Divac, and Richmond are laughably bad. That's too bad. You add an all time teams list and screw it up. New additions like Majerle, Smits ugh, horrible . 2K shame on you .

VDusen04, I don't think it's eyebrow itself, I'm almost sure at some point he got hurt above the eyebrow. I think that's what it was supposed to be, but it just got messed up.



EDIT:

I don't know if this is it, but in Dec. 1991 Karl Malone gave Thomas 40 stitches - (NSFW?)

he also got it split again in a great game vs the bulls in Chicago in the early part of the 92-93 season. I think he banged head with BJ Armstrong.

Speaking of Karl Malone, they did a pretty good job with him this year. Face is solid & his moves are pretty accurate. I just played a season with the 90's Jazz last year on PS3 or I'd be tempted to use them again. I'd love to have gotten early 90's Karl with more hair but this is well done. Could be a tad thicker. I think it's the neck and traps that's throwing everyone off. He still looks good though, especially in the old Jazz jerseys.



Solid work here!

some are better some r worse, but overall they're just different. what's important tho is how much better the gameplay is.

Good call. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Has to be it. He seemed to have that little extra bit in 90's photos but not so much the younger ones. Still a little overdone in 2K (and technically unnecessary because he didn't have that mark yet) but it's all good. I probably would have never noticed if I wasn't editing his accessories.

I wish we could have this one stickied. It is going to be helpful for as long as there are retro players/teams.
