Those are the ones that were in the video and taken out. I guess that's why they had to replace the footage cause they had unis in there that they shouldn't have revealed yet.

People complain that 2k does have the right accessories etc. Let's see if the same people give them credit for having jerseys in that haven't even been announced yet.

Hahaha, unbelievable... Come on...



2K always gets the latests designs from the NBA teams so they can put these into the game. This happens every year for the new season, they need to have the right jerseys. It's part of the deal they made with the NBA, else it wouldn't make sense. There is really, nothing, special about this. Give me a break.

I feel like that might be a little bit of a different situation. NBA 2K has historically been pretty solid at including the newest jerseys every year, as well as including most "official" retro releases by the NBA and they've been commended for that. There's times where they miss details on the jerseys and there's times where certain alternates have gone missing (strangely) but more times than not, that part of their game has been pretty solid.

On the flip side, the accessories have always seemed to be pretty far off the mark. Again though, they've made strides in years past, now including nearly all the types of accessories players actually wear (ex: the gridded calf sleeves were introduced in 2K12 and calf sleeves in general I believe stopped making player's socks disappear). Also, now that I think, there were also a few years where knee high socks went entirely over a players knees and other years where knee high socks would only come in black, no matter what.

Long story short, the accessories have experienced enough problems in the past, in my opinion, to warrant folks having an issue with them. I know nothing of the in's and out's of game production so I'm assuming something on the accessory front is complicating matters and preventing 2K from cleaning things up. But again, as someone who knows nothing, I'm always amazed with the ease with which OS users are able to hex the game and provide us with accurate home/away/alternate accessory colors. And truly, I do believe it makes a very significant difference, just about as significant as shoe color (wouldn't be at least a little weird if your favorite team always wore white shoes in real life but rocked nothing but black shoes in NBA 2K?)
