When can we see a Uniform fit option ?

Mon Oct 13, 2014 3:28 am

I and I'm sure many of you have been very impressed with the amount of options they gave us for editing players this year. Almost every single skill you can have as a basketball player is there and if it's actually reflected in the gameplay then that's amazing, lots of accessories, and they could use a few more body type options because there's so many different ones in the league some guys are built like football players, some guys like marathon runners.. I've seen Kyle Lowry play in person numerous times and I'm constantly amazed at how this guy is almost always the biggest thickest guy on the court even with the big men there, dude is literally a running back taken off a NFL field.

But they've gone through all this effort but still missed the mark because all the players still look almost identical, and this is because the way the uniforms fit. No matter how much you change body type, etc.... when the uniform fits identical on each player, then each player will look the same body wise... The PC tight uniform mods made a small difference but this is something only 2K can get right at the source and it's a small change that would make a world of difference, some you can see below in the pictures

this first picture here with Kobe and Klay, they in the same posture and look how Kobe's jersey is and tight Klay's is, in the game they would both look identical... and Dwight's jerseys keep getting tighter and tighter soon he'll ask Adidas to make a special Spandex version for him like the one D rose is wearing in last picture

I'd like to see this made by 2K. AFAIK, last year, on the current gen we had 4 body types (Slim, Normal, Athletic, Fat) and on 2K14 they reduced it to two (Muscular, Slim), and the jersey models that we're used were the same for both models. Hopefully, 2K gives us back the current gen body types next year on next gen.

I think VC should add some real-time clothing physics system, at least for PC (PhysX maybe?).
Not only it would be "sexy" extra feature, but it would be also great for showcasing.
That way not just jerseys would look better, but that should also include the net.

Players then would get to choose between fits/types of jerseys and the game would simulate the rest.

BTW is nVidia still providing engineers for AAA titles for PhysX support?

Nvidia is extremely proprietary and they won't do anything unless the other party (2K) agrees to exclusively work with them.... I don't think 2K has time for that type of bullshlt, so no I don't expect anything from Nvidia
