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.

im a white dude. and i havent been able to create a white dude for years. hair styles and facial features just blow...

yea there are some pretty weird looking white and black people in the draft class generator. however, that is NOTHING compared to how bad they butcher their latino and hispanic prospects. its borderline offensive.

2k's lack of skin tones and facial templates (only 3 in 2k12) needs fixing just as much as the hair.

If only 2K would pay attention to the details in several gamemodes, the game would be so much better.

Now they're coming up with all these new additions 2K EVERYWHERE, fancy (olympic) teams to amaze you, wardrobes and other stuff hoping that we won't notice the things they never changed or addressed.

Imho, 2K is blowing smoke into our eyes. By the looks of it, they have added A LOT of things (I give them props for it) to the game. But I rather have them change vital details like these hairstyles/tattoo's/faces/...

Focus on the core. Things like these and finish them properly:
-gameplay
-servers
-art/details/...

AND then come up with all the crazy add-ons to amaze us.

The feeling I'm getting is or will be: "How can you hate the game when they added 1000 new things. That's not fair of you. They did so much for us already".

Also, Ronnie's caracter is so ugly. I swear, every time I see those random rookies created by the CPU they all look the same. Same light skin color, weird hair, same face and everyone has this weird tiny moustache. How hard is it to create 20 new players and not give each one the same face or look?!

hahaha this is awesome yet sad at the same time. I'd also like to see better black guy hair styles. Maybe give the ability to add designs in your hair or something to that nature.

A lot of my white people come out looking like this:

The sad fact of it is that's not really hyperbolic. Created white players in 2k10-12 really do look like this. It's crazy.

Saints Row the 3rd has some awesome selection for hairstyle, in fact their whole create a player customization is pretty good. It would be nice if 2K could update the hairstyle selection, but I doubt if they did (hoping I'm wrong).

# 70 ecovyoudug @ 09/06/12 02:23 PM

Great thread, they could definitely use a great deal of new hairstyles. Maybe a few options for cornrows not just one style. Flat tops, tapers, mohawks, etc. And the ones they have now can be a bit modified.

# 71 Onpoint17 @ 09/06/12 02:44 PM

Very well written and funny. And I agree, its time to get rid of those ridiculous hairstyles and bring in some new respectable ones.

# 72 JwP23 @ 09/06/12 07:39 PM

Hope 2K make some decent asian hairstyles.

# 73 Shinyhubcaps @ 09/06/12 08:39 PM

Agree: Add MORE and BETTER hairstyles
Add MORE and BETTER tattoos
Add MORE and BETTER names and nicknames
Add ability to change hair on current players

Disagree: The idea of subtracting existing hairstyles. I've used all of those mentioned except The Patch. Medium Flat works for my brother, who has long hair prone to getting wet/matted when he plays. It's not that bad, and no worse than the other very static-looking shapey hair models.

Equally as bad!!??...not really lol.

# 75 cavsfan2 @ 09/06/12 10:46 PM

I just hope white people look like white people and not a black person painted white.

# 76 actuallybrown @ 09/06/12 11:47 PM

All of this above, plus the fact that the actual hair colors (blonde, dark brown, black, etc.) aren't even that accurate. No redhead in the world has hair as red as the red hair in NBA 2K.

Also, the black shouldn't be charcoal. Believe it or not, most black people that have 'black' hair actually have very dark brown hair, so I'd say turn up the saturation on brown and turn down the alpha waaaaaaay down. You can keep the jet black hair for the asian players (unless theirs is also very dark brown, I haven't been able to check).

Natural patches haha....."Look like a whole bunch of spiders havin' a meetin' on his head!"

# 79 SuperNoVa27 @ 09/07/12 11:38 PM

I don't understand 2k doesn't just take a art book from a well know Tat show and throw those in the game. Add some sleeves as well...

# 80 thafablifee46 @ 09/08/12 12:33 AM

I remember 2k11 had the small Afro and the medium Afro , they should put that back in. I rather those than that curly bs Afro in 2k12 ! Like seriously what man's Afro is ever that curly ? Smh
