Why is it so hard for 2k's art team to fit players Jerseys to their body and make shorts a little higher and not baggy? Do they not understand that the little things always go along way? Especially having to wait a year for the next installment? Sure, gameplay is most important. Glad to see and hear its much improved, but when players look nothing like themselves (lebron Carmelo) and uniforms are wrong it really takes away from the experience. And don't come at me with your fanboy-nism like its not a big deal! You know you want to play a accurately depicted game!
I think the jerseys issue is a matter of tech, not the art the dept, per se. Possibly cloth geometry middleware. I really don't know and, yea, it looks stupid and has for years but I can't throw out the baby with the bath water when it comes to that. I did with that damn iso-motion but that baby water is now history!!
Still don't understand that NBA Guitar-Star Dunk Contest. Could use Live 05's controls, for real....
I for one am extremely excited about this addition. Concerned about the Rising Stars Challenge jerseys though.
I liked the video as well. I was really skeptical about the Dunk Contest controls, and I still am, but seeing the classic players participating sort of softens the blow. The one thing I kept holding out for though, was perhaps catching a glimpse of a new classic player somewhere. Alas, I only caught members of all the same teams from last year. I suppose there'd be a small chance of them withholding glimpses of any new classic guys, but I'm betting we're rolling with the same stack we had from 2K12 (which is 30 times better than no stack at all).
Regarding the Rookie jerseys, I actually like to think there's a good chance they'll be properly attired by release. I mean, they wouldn't just roll out a Rookie Game as a pre-order feature then have everyone decked out in generics, would they? I like to think not. It seems feasible that they could not showcase the jerseys of all the teams involved just yet (the Knicks and their new jerseys, for example).

Had it gone down like that in real life, I would have been a lot more impressed. It'd have certainly topped the routine two-hander. Then again, if we wanted to get really picky, Blake's not much of a one-footed windmill guy from what I've seen. But I know all bets are off in video game dunk contests, so it's all good.

Thank God for hex editing! I really hope Reggie Miller and Allen Iverson will be in 2k13. 1 thing I really didn't get about 2k12 was why Malik Rose wasn't on the classic Spurs team. All 2k needed to do was leave him in the free agent pool so that they could put him in the game. I also hope he is in 2k13.
I'm happy. Core gameplay and usual mode info will come soon. Let's get the frivolous stuff going first and get to the important stuff for the middle, climax (demo week) and the grand finale before launch.

Ha, that was a random jump from Reggie Miller and Allen Iverson to. . . Malik Rose? Either way, I totally understand the need to have as many players accounted for as possible. For instance, I was pumped about 2K adding a real John Salley to the classic Pistons squad (I don't think he was there in 2K11).
I'm always trying to piece together how the process works but if I heard right, a lot of players are a part of a retirement players association, which always 2K access (for a fee) to their rights as a group. Many retirees may not be a part of that group and thus must be negotiated with individually. This is what likely results in the random MIA's on different classic teams (like Malik Rose).
