I agree that is the case for many people. But if you watch a Knick game and then turn on the game and see a different color, then there is an issue. As a Bulls fan, I feel the Knick fans pain.

Not for nothing, but some sports games are "required" to use the league style guides for colors and logos. Problem is, the style guides are made by a third-party company and are not always accurate. For instance, MLB The Show does this, which leads to the Brewers missing multiple jerseys (including the Brewers blue alt home, one of their most popular ones) and having erroneous colors (sky blue throwback, anyone?). This seems to be the standard for developers. A few years ago, people complained about this process in Madden, which led EA to ditch the style guides and just replicate what they saw on film and in photos.

Other developers have insisted that they need to follow the style guides precisely. I wonder why, because if they DIDN'T use the style guides, how would anyone know? The errors that persist in the style guides prove that no one audits them for accuracy.

Also, I'm fairly certain that the problem isn't the calibration of our TVs. If the Clippers logo and player images have red, why do the jerseys look pink? There is a disconnect between the jerseys and the logos despite both being displayed on the same screen.

Absolutely true! Has nothing to do with tv settings at all. 2K keep using wrong colors again and again! What's annoying me the most is the fact that they were actually doing things right one year in order to do them wrong next year. For example: The Miami Heat black road uniforms! All of a sudden they're gray for whatever reason. Why? It definitely has something to do with either bad color perception or insufficient quality management. Apart from that this game is a beauty in (almost) every sense...

People stopped talking about Bulls red being pinkish for yeeeeeears.

They gotta fix that. Other teams are darker so it's not like it's impossible to them

Maybe there's an issue with the color they are programmed and the color that is displayed? Who knows it would be nice of they could release an update that adjust both jerseys and courts

BINGO!

This is exactly what I could check when I was hex editing team colors for 2k12. I checked websites and photos with photoshop to extract the "real exact" colors team used in order to add them to the game. Those colors in my computer and in photoshop looked great (even I printed them to see if my screen wasn't properly calibrated), but when I added, for example, the real Bulls red color to the file, you'll never guess what color was displayed in the game...yes, pink.

Same happened with blues, oranges, yellows and navy, all of them were different; so I'm 99.9% sure that it must be an issue with some kind of filter they use in the game.

This color issue has nothing to do with the calibration of the TV. I play a lot of other games and all the colors in these games are always spot on.
The only time I see this issue is when I play NBA 2K.

I hate playing as and against the Knicks because the blue is too distracting. The Bulls red looks less pink to me this year, not sure if I'm just used to it or if they changed it a little.
