In today's NBA 2K11 Insider blog, 2K Sports has released a jersey code. Just use the jersey code - ronoilnm, to find secondary road uniforms for the Hornets, Magic and T-Wolves.
Quote:
"Uniform Code – The following uniforms have been unlocked, but you can enter this code if you do not get roster updates or have a franchise season already in progress."
I believe that The Nba wont allow any jerseys that have not or will not be used this season..I liked the silver 87 Piston Jerseys But I wont hold my breath for it to come out.
I am uncertain this is the case. For instance, I do not believe the Pistons are planning on rolling with any throwback jerseys in real life for the 2010-2011 season. However, available in the game are the currents, current alternate, Bad Boys 1990 throwbacks, 1997 Teal Horsepowers, and the Lightning Bolts they rocked as retros back in '06ish.
I never quite understood the rhyme or reason behind the inclusion of throwbacks in video games. It seemed Live always had every possible retro available back in '05 on the PS2 while 2K had a shaky selection to start then slowly but surely added more and more over the years. I always presumed it was either an art issue with 2K or some brand like Hardwood Classics (who is sponsored on 2K now) or another retro outfitter somehow gathered exclusive rights to certain designs and teamed with EA Sports in the early to mid-2000's.
And to verify the post above, this new alternate jersey code does indeed work in Association. There is a "Codes" tab under "Options" I believe.
The Nets are suppose to be unveiling a new uniform that they'll be wearing this year on Wed. Hopefully 2k takes note of this. I would really like to see our soon-to-be star Melo with something else other than white and red
I really don't like 'em either. What takes the cake is that not only is the dino wearing shoes, but he's either wearing shoes with his toes sticking out or worse, shoes that were made with toes that stick out. Kinda reminds me of the Miami Dolphins with that dolphin actually wearing a helmet.
And I agree infamyice: they put Jordan's Bulls in, they put the Jordans in, so please put the Bulls' black alternate jerseys in from Jordan's era--I don't care which, pinstripe or not, but it would be great to have them.
I with you guys too. Those raptor jerseys were simply ugly (not to mention their counterparts' expansion team at the time Grizzless) amongst the ugliest jerseys I've seen alongside the 95-96 Hawks and the striped Rockest jerseys (Attention big animals and spaceships inside)
For what it's worth, I don't think those inaugural Raptors jerseys are some kind of masterpiece. I more or less would like them included for the sake of historical accuracy. I'm big on classic teams and it'd be nice to have a real looking Charles Barkley era Suns team and a solid Vince Carter rookie or Damon Stoudamire era Raptors team. Though I guess, really, the fact those jerseys were so loud do seem to bring about some sense of nostalgia.
We saw the Warriors go back to the classic blue and yellow... it would be nice to see the Suns go back to the sun burst unis. I loved those jerseys so much back in the day... I had a black Barkley jersey and a Suns Starter coat back in 6th grade! Looking back on it that purple and orange Starter coat was UGLY! Still love the jerseys though! Much better than the current ones. Ill never understand the concept of putting gray on the away jersey.
