What he is saying is it wouldn't look the same as a mirror but the actual reflection plane doesn't change. The actual physics behind it doesn't change. The only thing that changes is what you are able to see based off the hardwood floor, angle and distance and lighting source.

I think it is funny but unless 2K is hiring a lighting expert/engineer and is willing to go into details of each stadium and how the actual jerseys shows up then the reflection will not be right. There should also be shadows on the court but we are going Beyond the Shadows we are talking lighting and mirror effects. I think this is already in the game though but I had to say it anyway lol.

Good job on the clarification.

Thanks for explaining, stillfeelme. I'd use an image to explain but I'm without a mouse or wacom, and also lazy.

As far as lighting experts and engineers go, 2K already has one of the best guys in the business from what I know. Naty Hoffman's the VP of Technology and I've been using some of his Siggraph papers on physically based rendering as a resource at work. Technology wise they know what they're doing, and I'm pretty sure/hopeful the missing reflection is just an early build issue since player reflections (and shadows) have been in 2K for a long time. Improvements that are needed are likely more of an art direction/time issue.

We talking about mirrors now?!


Maybe we should get back to chipped teeth and lighting talk.

We are still talking about the perfectly fine lighting...

My bad. Didn't know I was in a 2K14 thread.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that Curry will be the only player in the game with a mouthpiece seeing as that he's one of the cover athletes this year, and chewing on a mouthpiece is apart of his free throw routine. I find it hard to believe that we still can't change jerseys in Mycareer mode but our Myplayer will have the choice of wearing a mouthpiece; Just doesn't add up to me.

Are there really any other players who chew their mouth guards like him tho?


I hope they show him take it out, like after he gets fouled, etc. like he usually does.

Ah, yes, Mr. Hyberbole. Because people who think 2K14 has better lighting automatically think it's a better game.

Not to my knowledge but I know for a fact he's not the only player that wears a mouthpiece. It would be a great cosmetic addition to the game but something tells me he'll be the only player wearing one, and we'll only see it during his free throw routine.
