Real Referees Project - TONY BROTHERS CF (Preview)

Sticky-fingers gave me an interesting idea with his "new referees mod". I´m going to try to make 3 real NBA referees.
My first cf is for #25 Tony Brothers ( This is his 25th year, Brothers has 1,453 regular season, 127 playoff, and 8 NBA Finals games).
The reference pics for these referees are not so good, so if you find good ones, post them here.
Preview on Blender:


I have thought to make Bill Kennedy and Ken Mauer, but I would like to hear suggestions.

Thanks mate

this is awesome I cant believe no one thought about this before, just adds so much more to the immersion. Looks terrific I hope you add the other two refs.

Sure bro, I´m waiting suggestions for the others referees.

The idea has been kicked around quite a bit over the years on next-gen 2k, it's not original. The problem is as Shuajota mentioned the lack of reference photos. The picture quality is like 400x300 for most refs. And finding a suitable base for an older looking guy is difficult.

Best of luck Shuajota, don't mean to be negative because I've always thought this would be nice. I'm just skeptical of the quality because I know from experience that the reference photos out there are ROUGH.

wow. Tony Brothers looks awesome man. GREAT JOB. I'm ecstatic about this mod. Ken Mauer and Bill Kennedy would be great. If you do Joe Crawford as a throwback mod, Scott Foster is another ref that is well known, although not for the best of reasons, haha.

Now we're talking

On the right track, but I'd try to get an image where he's not smiling.

I'm so happy you take the lead on this idea because of my (non) skills
Keep it up

I know he is retired, but Joey Crawford would be a nice addition.

That’s a problem, because the pics are smaller.

Thanks man!

1 - thank you for creating tony brothers, fantastic work
2 - is it possible to use this referee in 2k18?, i know the faces work but how do i convert the body.png from 2k19 to 2k18, if anyone knows i be very happy, cause i want to use this referee in game for long time, but i can't buy 2k19 now

Thank you sir for this creation

Best one I could find, without him smiling. He's smiling on most of them.

2K19 cfs are not compatible with 2K18 at this moment.

Thanks but that picture isn’t good to make a cf.
Anyways I will fix him before to release the pack.

But can't 2K18 Cf's be used in 2K19 ? I thought I read that somewhere.

Only the face textures and hair/facial hair models. But not the body model. They are different skeletons.

very unfortunate, i wanted enjoy this mod, if you have time for creating for 2k18 is good news..thank you brother

what about add some "legendary" referees? just like Jess Kersey,Dick Bavetta...

I always wonder that why did 2K series care about the real refs...

official game with generated referees..

good work,keep it up

by the way here is a source for referees

http://www.nbra.net/nba-officials/referee-biographies/

I know this one is smiling too, but may help as its dead centered. Facebook will be a good resource for tagged pictures of people.

I wonder why there aren't more "real referee" and "real cheerleader" face mods

You could do Dick Bavetta as well
