Inaccurate colors/uniforms in video games that should know better

[ThunderCeltic]

After seeing those NFL2k5 pics it makes me wish that EA would add several more throwback uniforms to Madden but they've been too lazy since the PS2/Xbox days to add any more. Same with SDS not adding missing Alternate Throwbacks or missing Away Throwback uniforms.

 

Also I believe NFL Xtreme 2 (released in 1999) had the Detroit Lions in Blue pants while NFL Game Day 2000 and Madden 2000 had the Lions back in their traditional Gray pants.

 

The NBA 2k series has done a fine job of adding throwback uniforms but several are still missing:

 

New York 1979-1980

New Jersey 1999-2005 Gray Alternate

Philadelphia 1994-1997

Philadelphia 2007-09 Red Alternate

Atlanta 1992-1995

Atlanta 1994-1995 Black Alternate

Indiana 1980-1986 Home White/Home Yellow/Away Royal Blue

Cleveland 1981-1983

Cleveland 2014-2017 Dark Navy Alternate

Denver 1976-1983

Denver 1983-1985 (Dark Blue Rainbow set)

Utah/New Orleans Jazz 70's Home Yellow

Dallas 2003-2004 Silver Alternate

New Orleans Hornets 2008-2013 Yellow Alternate

Kansas City Kings 1980-1985 Away Script

1974-75 Buffalo Braves (Powder Blue)

1987-1989 Los Angeles Clippers (Away Red)

TECMO NBA on NES had the Nuggets playing with green colored zones/baselines on their court.  Obviously when the game came out the following month on SNES all courts looked better and more accurate. Same for the SEGA version that came out in December 1993 with updated logos and rosters (minus rookies) for the 93-94 season.

Good news, this set was finally added to 2K24.

And these ones are in 2K23 already, along with other sets like the last San Diego Clippers jerseys & the early-00s Cavaliers jerseys (the minimalist black/orange/light blue ones) but in a frustratingly limited way: they're only useable if you play as that team in those specific years of Eras, and either keep them wearing that yourself or export it to a more modern MyNBA file, an option that'll only be available for another year or so. As well, those Cavs jerseys and the Clippers' 90s jerseys (which aren't quite the one you were asking about, but it's pretty darn close) have also been added to their teams' normal rotations for 2K24.

I did see the team uniform selection and they added Iverson's rookie jerseys and the better 90's Clippers set plus "Some" sleeved jerseys. It does suck that the missing sets can only be used in "Eras" and not in other modes.

The NOB on the Giants' away jersey in Madden is blue. How does this happen

[Old School Fool]

In NBA 2K24 it seems that the 2002 Denver Nuggets have a glitch where the red and blue paint has disappeared and in it's place is darker wood. Reminds me of the Grizzlies in that era and it looks kinda cool.

 

In my brain the Nuggets decided to screw around in my current Sonics franchise, after all the Hornets stayed in Charlotte and the Grizzlies stayed in Memphis.

 

 

By the way, every All-Star Game uniform up to 2018 is in the game so whatever year you play in they will be accurate. The court designs are a problem though, it's generic enough though. I suspect that would be too much of a task to get all the ASG courts. The jerseys are enough.

SDS again refuses to add proper missing throwback and throwback alternates to MLB The Show. The new Derek Jeter storyline shows his 2001 ALDS playoff game against Oakland and they are wearing the 2000 Black Alternate and not the Forrest Green set like they did in real life. Also last years trailer had Cal Ripken in the current Baltimore Away uniform as they still won't add the proper 1995 Away uniform.

SDS (The Show) has become just as lazy as EA (Madden-FIFA) when it comes to accuracy and missing throwbacks/throwback alternates. If it's not MUT/FUT (EA) then they don't care. Now with SDS if it's not Daimond Dynasty or the new Story Mode then they don't care. The new Derek Jeter gameplay footage is full of errors. The 2001 Oakland A's are wearing their 2000 black alternates and not the proper Forrest Green moneyball uniforms. Also the 90's Orioles are wearing the current Away uniform and not the proper 90's Away uniform. Also Mark McGwire is seen in the Kingdome wearing the new A's Kelly Green Fauxback. SDS refuses to add missing throwback uniforms and pay attention to detail.
