"The Tongue" *Confirmed "tongue" and Sig Calf Sleeve (Post #3)

[LeBronistheKing]

After seeing the new trailer (which was phenomenal by the way) I was a little disapointed to see that the ever present tongue that Michael was so famous for was nowhere to be seen. 2K has recently really stepped up there facial animations and it really adds a lot of emotion and realism to the best basketball sim on the market. This year with Jordan being involved so heavily I hope they include the tounge animation. It's definitely signature to being "like Mike".

thought it was in the last 2 dunks, but because of the resolution of the video it was impossible to see, but you can see he has mouth open.

The Tongue, among other things (including MJ's signature calf sleeve), wasn't in the build when Mo cut his video. The art team did a fantastic job with the virtual MJ, you guys will be pleased with the final look come retail.

Thats good to know..

Off topic: the bad boy pistons shorts were too long in the trailer. If yall want it to be authentic the art team must have them a bit shorter.

Seeing how these issues are adressed the only other thing I can think of is the sweatband on the elbow as opposed to the forearm for 1991 to 1998 MJ. Either way I am very happy about this news.

It's nice to hear that...also it would be awesome if there could be 2 short shorts lengths that could be assigned to players...a shorter version and a less shorter version like the ones shown on the trailer (which look more like 90's shorts). I say this because guys like Rodman, I. Thomas, Laimbeer, Magic and Worthy continued to use the very short shorts even in the early 90's (as opposed to MJ for example).

The shorter version would be suitable for all of the Bulls and celtic players from '86, the 1990 Pistons and Bulls (with exception of MJ and Pippen) and the 1990 Hawks and 1990 Cleveland Cavs.
