NBA 2K Hairstyle Disasters

12:25 PM - September 5, 2012 by RaychelSnr

Players come at sports video games from a lot of different angles these days. You can run a fantasy draft and make the dream team you’ve always wanted. You can try to take your favorite team as-is and do your best to better them. You can play with friends or strangers around the world. But ever since I can remember, my favorite part of any title has been designing my own player to draft onto my favorite team or (more recently) run through a game’s career mode.

And since the beginning, the NBA 2K series has been disappointing me with its hairstyles.

The game needs more legit black guy hairstyles.

# 2 RedSceptile @ 09/05/12 12:31 PM

Not specifically black guy hairstyles, just hairstyles in general.

# 3 sschevyridah @ 09/05/12 12:35 PM

i dont know why they just dont the haircuts from actual players and throw em in the created players section. they are already in the game

# 4 Scramz718 @ 09/05/12 12:35 PM

Agree they should get rid of the bad ones and add some logical hairstyles

# 5 kmiree16 @ 09/05/12 12:38 PM

Same with tattoos and nicknames. They're all so terrible.

I want Faried dreads for my CAP dammit. Faried REAL LIFE dreads not that dumb style they have in game.

Also before the PC master race starts...I don't have a pc strong enough.

i think they need to add the taper fade

# 8 shindiana @ 09/05/12 12:42 PM

Thanks! I've been saying that for years.

Hair style, body types, faces in general all need major work!

Have you seen ronnie's myplayer in the GM office? NBA 2K13 is bringing back all those fake looking haircuts for another year!!!!

I also want to be able to add facial features, like freckles, and small moles. Just something that makes the CAP's look less like porcelain dolls and more like real people.

Edit: And there's no such thing as to much customization, when it come's to a game mode where you play as one guy for his entire career.

I also would like to change the haircuts of real players.

A guy like Nick Young changes his hairstyle every ****ing week..

# 12 BRxSKINSx @ 09/05/12 12:59 PM

The same generic tats and hairstyles year after year..... 2k has to know we're sick and tired of em, and they still haven't changed em.... I'd rather they put in a couple real life hairstyles than those fake generic ones.... Give us the option to use real life NBA player hair styles at least...

Weren't we supposed to get a "dynamic hair update" from the 2K Insider during the entire season last year? James Harden had a clean cut and a small beard all year.

Preach!

# 15 BRxSKINSx @ 09/05/12 01:05 PM

especially for the people who dont have a last name that can be said in the game. I dont want my player being called dimes, or buckets.. Lame

# 17 rudeworld @ 09/05/12 01:21 PM

This is why my CAP always rock a normal cut or cut it all off and wear a head band (except 2k11 cause of the glitch of wearing it during pressers and walking into the arena.... that was wack)

# 18 SouthBeach @ 09/05/12 01:34 PM

Wow. You guys are trippin'.

Y'all don't want the George Costanza/George Jefferson Cul de Sac?

# 19 BlakkMajik3000 @ 09/05/12 01:40 PM

The hairstyle for waves absolutely sucks. No option to get "360 waves" like most people with waves have. Brandon Knight had the perfect hairstyle for this in 2K12, but you couldn't use it on your own player.

I also didn't like the afro hairstyle. All you could use was some Ben Wallace type afro, but you could never have the cleaner more "rounded" afro like Josh Childress.

C'mon 2K. Visit some barbershops and see what hairstyles people (all races) are really wearing and put those in the game, and get rid of the junk hairstyles that have been wasting space for years.

2K amazes me with how great and realistic their game is but the CAP is one of the worst for a game across any genre, they still don't have a decent looking short cut with a shape up which is the hairstyle used by about 60% of the players in the league. Every year in franchise mode the rookies come out looking more and more ridiculous, I'm hesitant to even draft some of them when they barely resemble the human race. The CAP needs a complete makeover, not to mention every player no matter what the skin tone has the same generic face.
