Barkley is on POINT!!

Gotta admit, for the few flaws, I'm quite excited for this!

Now......LET US EDIT THEM!!!


Jordan looks cartoony and like a goof. Eyes too big. Never really smiled showing his teeth and something wrong with his shape and ears are bad. Why is he so bad and pippen and Drexler look fantastic ? Who's in charge over there ? Lol lets hope the signature shots are rocking

At least it's not just me.

Was beginning to think I was heading back here the same time every year, seeing the legends unchanged - perhaps I was just looking for something to gripe about.

Seems to not be the case.

Here's an image I found from 2k15 vs a PC mod - the contrast is shocking.

Year after year they have made him look terrible, and his body is always far too clunky.

White guys in 2K are just awful in general. I really don't understand why they find it so difficult to create white players that don't look like aliens and have hair that doesn't look like big clumps on their heads.


I find the hair is especially bad. And for non white guys hair its not amazing either. Curry's preview pics from last year I remember looking very "fuzzy" haha...... it was odd looking.


They need an art dept. OVERHAUL or a major sit down at the very least haha.

See that PC mod is great! And take that away, the original MJ in the previous gen 2Ks were solid to begin with. Now stay with me but if they had;


Each of the legends with that level of facial quality and a good core signature animations I'd be happy. VERY happy. I'd run with Bulls all the time now that Czar has a very nice free lance triangle in the game.....


And it's not THAT big an ask I don't think. 2K11 dropped 6 years ago nearly. So you'd think they could've "built" from that.

But the legends have gone backwards. MJ doesn't even appear to have much "signature" about him now and he once did.


Here's hoping....

I hope not, Pippen in the OP looks a lot better, IMO

Agreed for the improved Dream Team version - hopefully that translates into his other versions.

But in terms of his standard in game models, the mod looks to be superior in my eyes.

2K11 Jordan had different signature animations for different era Jordan aswell. That REALLY added to it.

I am hoping one day these legends slowly have more and more signature animations added - really increases my want to play with them.

All honesty, I haven't touched ANY legends since 2K12 as I feel they've just been some what..... "generic" since then.
Plus, in 2k16, they completely messed up Jordan 85's look. That was disappointing

I just feel like this isn't a huge deal to 2k,like it is to us. It's cool to continue adding players to the pool.

I was so excited to play with that Vince Carter led Raptors team, and the to see what Vince looked like and Mcgrady. It was almost a joke.

It just doesn't feel like 2K builds their classic players from the ground up, it feels rushed every year.

Totally agree.

Almost of a case of 'Well you shouldn't moan about it - you have the legends, what more do you want??'

Where I agree with that sentiment, I'd rather have them, than not at all - should we really be sitting back and not critiquing their look, which has lacked any real improvement in the last 3 years....?

I dunno. It's early days yet, perhaps there's been more improvements than we've seen so far. They could surprise us.

I'll give you guys Stockton and Jordan, but Bird looks a ton better imo. Still not great but he looked awful the past few games.

Yes, I'm just not holding my breath anymore, I don't wanna be cynical, but I don't expect much improvement in that area. Prove me wrong 2K.

Laetner looks great. Pippen and Ewing look so much better, especially Pippen. He looks so much better than the 1991 and 1993 Bulls Pippen. I'm truly hoping that they replace the 93 Bulls Pippen player model with this 92 Dream Team Pippen player model. And please please please give us the Nike Up Tempos for 96 Bulls Pippen.

I'll be pretty mad if they don't switch out the old models of Pip and Ewing for the new ones. The two of them are looking much better.

Would LOVE the Uptempo's in the game - have wanted them since the inclusion of the '96 Bulls, but I can't see 2k making good on it.

Everybody but Ewing look hideous

Laettner definitely doesn't. He almost looks like he's been scanned, best one there by a country mile, sadly!

Pippen & Ewing have had a facial upgrade. Drexler, Mully, Bakley, Magic, aint bad.

Jordan looks damn weird. Stockon is AWFUL. Bird looks like he's improved. Malone is the wrong version, and D-Rob is average.


Could be so much better, but could be a hell of a lot worse.

and it's shocking an old previous generation engine looks a lot better than these new incarnations on next gen hardware. Just makes no sense and how they pick and choose to make Christian Laettener look better than Michael Jordan is just beyond logical understanding.

Here's my grade for the team.

Malone B-
Pippen A-
Drexler A-
Stockton B-
Jordan D+
Bird C+ (Maybe)
Ewing B-
Barkley B-
Mullin B-
Robinson B-

Previous Gen when Dream team was there, what was that 13? , I would have put all their faces at B+. Jordan was probably the best looking of them all.
