Manni, you know I've been supporting your work since like forever so I hope you don't mind if I write down some constructive feedback.

I know you've probably spent a lot of time to nail that parquet design and it looks fantastic but I believe different courts have different versions of wood. For me, the MSG and CEA have too many different shades of color going on on their woods. I've always seen them as a one dominant color type of court. I've even watched some 1080p games just to be sure my eyes weren't messing with me. Cavs look good, but that's because they kinda have a white-ish color going on there and everything is lesss noticeable.

I'd use what you have know for those courts that look messier (aka uglier) when it comes to parquet design. You know what I am talking about, the Raptors, Mavericks, maybe the Pistons, all fit in that category. For the other courts, I'd try to keep everything more limited when it comes to color. I'd use a hand of colors, just enough to give that real-life parquet feeling but without going too far.

There is probably no reason for you to fix those before the season starts because you will probably get back to those and release a second version of them once you get the real-life colors. Maybe you can do something about the parquet design then.

Youre supposed to drag the iff file into your 2k18 directory. Unfourtetly im on my phone therefore i cannot check it myself but are you having problems trying to get them to load?

I Hate Mondays, ofcourse i dont mind some constructive feedback you've ben my biggest fan so id always appreciate your input.

Just to clarify, do you mean that i should use the parquet ive been using now for the other teams such as Raptors Pistons and the Mavs? Im waiting for the season starts to release certain courts for certain broadcast as i normally do.

For the parquet for the MSG do you think its off or are you trying to say that i should release 2 versions like i normally do?

^Even if it sounds bad, I mean that I find MSG and Chesapeake Energy Arena off.

I will explain myself with pictures:

Here are some close up photos of the Raptors' and Mavs' parquet design.

Image
Image


Even though you can tell one color is "dominant", you can spot those little variations in wood design. Like for both floors you have some brown pieces that look like the floor has mud marks or something, lol. Also you have different shades of the dominant color. Some are brighter, some are darker. It looks messy, it doesn't look some a perfectionist would do. But that's a real life choice of the people from the organisation.

Meanwhile, you don't have that messy-ness for the Chesapeake Energy Arena for example. You can actually see that the dominant color is that bright yellow and there is a little variation when it comes to wood color:
Image

^The same thing goes for MSG.

Yet, your version of the CE Arena makes me feel like you've chosen the "messy" design over the "little wood variation". In this screenshot, I've circled different shades of the parquet. You have a little bit of white, a little bit of brown, and everything in between:

Image

For the 4 colors found inside those circles, the software I am using actually stated that the colors in the RGB format are way different. In the real-life CE Arena photo, wherever I click on the parquet, I get colors which are almost identical.

That's why I said I would use the textures you have right now for floors like the Raptors and Mavericks and use a different textures for courts like MSG and CE Arena.

Maybe that's just me and I don't have an eye for this, I might be way off with my assumption. I hope you understand now what I am talking about.

P.S. Can't wait for your basic two versions when the season starts. That's the coolest part about what you do (Y)

I got those two photos from the 2017 season. Anyways, I was just trying to prove a point. I am more than sure Raps and Mavs use that kind of wood design. If you believe my suggestion given to Manni is way off, please let me know guys. I am just one guy and you are a community. I might give bad feeback and you can always step in.

I just checked both of them they are fine. You may have have winrar to open the iff files. Or in your case just drag the modded folder into your 2k18 folder
