I still hope the colors of jerseys and accessories can be adjusted in the retail version. Tap Tap Tapatalking away from my iPhone

It's not. This involves audio files that if PC modders can't modify, then its something complex.

My rule of thumb is, If a PC modder can't mod something, then I believe its difficult. Maybe its just a very very very compressed file that can't really be amplified normally.

Well for the games sake I hope that you are wrong. It won't be a game killer for me if it stays the same but it would be nice to see it added. 2k seems to improve quite a bit every year, many good things to look forward to in this years addition. Crowd noise seems to be an issue in 2k games period.

Please take your childish argument to the rest of the folks that complain as if 2k hasn't improved for the last few years. You are part of the problem, complaining just to complain yet you will still purchase the game anyway. Wanting the game to improve is fine, joining a site just to complain over and over again about the same thing is just mindless. Have fun with that if it makes you feel any better. I chose to embrace the improvements, instead of acting like an infant when everything that I dream of is not in the game. Carry on.

You're that mad? No, I am not saying people should be angry, but I also don't think people should be optimistic and defend everything 2K is doing like you are. Like I said, I am happy with this game and where do you see me complaining just to complain? I am saying the crowd needs to be better, am I wrong? You up in here talking about, "Maybe it'll be in the retail version or can be patched." Are you serious? People have been asking for crowd improvements for the longest and you are up in here basically saying people shouldn't complain when it's their money?

Where do you see me just complaining to complain though? I am definitely buying the game because for one, I need my basketball every year, and I feel like the game has improved game play wise. Still needs to be improvements though. I don't see a problem w/ people complaining about Association, the crowd, Crew, etc. All you are doing is complaining about people complaining. All this talking you doing isn't going to fix anything, people are still going to complain and they have a right to. Like I said, as long as you're happy you shouldn't even be tripping. Everyone has their own issues with the game. You're up in here letting people get you mad because they are complaining. It's funny to me.

It's not about defending everything about the game and yes i said I hope that I hope that it is in the retail version. If that bothers you then I suggest you only talk to the pessimistic folks on here so that you can feel at home. I'm not mad at anyone I am simply voicing my opinion about you and the rest of the complainers as you voiced your opinion about me, see how that works? The bottom line is that I am happy with the improvements and you are not, it happens, let it go and move along.

Recently, I still see that thread, but we seem to burn through most of the observed uniqueness much earlier than we used to. Since it's clear this won't be happening on the current generation, I'd love to see things like this on the next gen: -Wild, spazzing reactions and celebrations from a player and his teammates after he hits a buzzer beating, game-winning shot. -Realistic crowd noise -EA NHL-like crowd response (graphic-wise) where they jump in near unison on an important play (big shot, buzzer beater, etc.) -Violations for crossing the baseline when attempting to defend an inbound pass -Displacing or knocking over people, chairs, equipment when diving out of bounds -A coach giving last second instruction to a player on the verge of checking in -The actual removal of warmup pants/shirt with re-application in certain instances when checking back out -An occasional fan half court attempt during time-outs (to go with other possible time-out entertainment) -Players returning from serious knee injuries wearing a brace, at least temporarily -In-game injuries where the game camera doesn't zoom out and pan uncomfortably to the player writhing on the court by himself while teammates and opponents just stare blankly in other directions It's small and medium things like those mentioned above that can often make one game feel new in comparison to its previous effort alongside, well, not keeping just about everything the same in terms of appearance aside from some detailed gameplay upgrades.

You seem to want to keep punishing them for their ridiculously good previous efforts by saying they should be making similar gains every year - which imo isn't fair or practical to expect. I guess it's a matter of perspective, but in a game that was already doing things several years ago that most other sports games weren't doing - or still aren't doing today - you seem to keep expecting them to make the same monumental leaps every year/continually lapping the competition when there are limitations from a technology standpoint and I'd think even a developmental standpoint.

Sure, it's possible for every release to feel like they've thrown the kitchen sink into the game - but I think it's unfair to hold them to that exact standard every year. There are so many little things that get added to the game during any year that much gets unnoticed in part because they don't toot their own horn - such as people in the crowds realistically trying to "yell" at a ref that an opposing team's player travelled, the way much of everything along the baseline is interactive, the varied coach reactions, etc. But you seem to be faulting them for not having added the things YOU'D like added, based on your list. There are limits to what can be done. It only makes sense that in a game that already has a lot of little things content that they're going to be able to add the same amount every year where it's noticeable. Especially to people that play the game near non-stop for 11months out of the year.

I mean c'mon - it'd be nice to see them add players taking off/putting on their warmups when they come in/out of a game. But that's an out-there expectation imo. I'm still amazed they have various animations for players waiting to check into a game, varied free throw reaction anims that mix seamlessly with the individual player free throw routines, etc. I don't see how this game can be faulted for not paying attention to the little things (sorry if I misinterpreted what you were saying)

It is. I'll agree with that. I just don't believe that it can be simple as adjusting the color of floor for 30 teams and 60+ jerseys cause I want my game to look like the NBA.

Yeah I'm sure it's not that simple but we can hope. It's probably not good to expect much more now that I think about it, since this is the last version of the game on current gen platforms.
