Yeah, a lot of missing portraits this year. They are even using a lot of the fake placeholder portraits from 2K10 days (and some from even before). They are using a lot of them.
Its few hours for teenager to complete 100 portraits. How its possible they dont have time for basic things. They have whole year. I dont understand. Is it because of copyrights?
Here are some examples. I counted, and it contains about 30-40 of these from last gen. If you remember correctly, these were used for the classic players when a portrait was missing. It's the last gen graphics.
For the record, I'm cool with this as long as I love the gameplay, because that matters most. But, maybe they think that most people won't notice, or it's mostly younger people who didn't play the older games.
In regards to paying for using photos, why not just use the new render like they do with some of the players? For example, that Julius Erving "fake" portrait doesn't look anything like this gens Erving, same with Shaq. A lot of inconsistencies in the roster that scream rush job. Also, with all the money they have made over the last few years on VC, sales, etc, I am sure they could afford small portraits for the players.......
