Personally I don't really care since I'm on PC using mods, but recently they've been seeming to put in a little more effort on cover athlete likenesses / animations. They did improve Kobe for 2K21, right? I think they touched up Dirk for 2K22 as well, and they definitely improved Jordan for 2K23. It's a minor thing, but for retro players on console it's good for 2K to have a reason to improve the retro likenesses, and the more the merrier.

Pretty cool. We may possibly get a Kobe challenge? Score 81 points challenge would defiantly be one of them. Defiantly would like to see the 2006 Lakers, 2009 Lakers and 2010 Lakers added to the classic teams.

Maybe this year they'll make the jump to next-gen for PC ... if Madden can do it, 2K sure as hell should be able to.
