Another one that bothers me, not so much regarding the legends but in general, the arm sleeves never go down to the wrist. For some reason they always sit higher, basically nobody in the NBA wears them how the game presents.

The 97 Heat are coming to 2k18!!!

A few Zo pics for reference (REALLY hope they give us a bucket full of old school kicks to go with all the classic teams)

Latrell Sprewell has a very distinct dunk style. If 2K did it right, it'd be a great and somewhat easy way to make a user really feel like he was dunking with a unique player (as opposed to just giving him an athletic dunk package and calling it a day).

His go-to dunk, pretty much whenever humanly possible, was a jackknife two hander, where he'd swing both his arms and legs behind his head and finish with a dirty rim hang, often removing one hand from the rim and flailing to the ground (kind of a Kenyon Martin-lite follow through). He was kind of a savage on the rim back when the word savage still meant something.

Pretty much the blueprint for every Sprewell dunk:



Example after example after example:



He almost always went up as if his goal was to dunk with two hands, even if he ended up finishing with one on rare occasions. Here's a great example of his post-dunk zeal:

Re: LEGENDS Thread - NBA 2K18 & beyond: (Accessories, jerseys, sig styles etc)

if you look closely to the songs on the sound tracks a lot of old school goodies. a lot of early 90's some mid s 90's a few late 90's and early 2000 songs. Could relate to teams from what era we may be getting.

2k18 "might" become the new holy grail of retro teams, what 2k12 is to many retro head / 90's kids.

That's been bothering me for so long that I just blocked it out of mind because it's never been fixed.

Sleeves have been literally wrong for years.
