Personally I thought they can/have done better - might just be me though....

KD isnt as skinny as people say he is....probably the same crowd that believe Kyie was chubby. It like people still have that rookie frame in their mind. He's obviously still slim, but the Durant in the vid looks third-world hungry.

This is pretty much my stance too. I'd love for every player model and appearance to be a perfect 1 to 1 representation but it's just one of those things that will be an ongoing work in progress. I would imagine that 2k is striving to be as accurate as possible but there are bound to be imperfections.

And really that's just life. If we were all perfect everyone would achieve all there goals and never make mistakes.

Now someone please tell me what's wrong with his arms in this screen? Make them a bit longer and it looks perfect to me.

The man has some muscle on his arms and people act like he's pencil thin.

That is Brandon Ingram's body, KD needs to be thicker than that, the 2k16 body wasn't all that bad it was his legs that needed to be thinned out like that, not his upper body.

As far as the KD model...the dude is pretty much still a walking stick.

Spoiler

I think they got his body type this year closer than they ever have before.

Dude Durant in 2k14 had a wide body, no thanks

I think they just need to fix the shoulders and the uniform, which is throwing it off... the shorts at least because thats not how shorts fit KD

They don't go down to the knee like its apart of his leg.

But what about the actual arm thickness? Not factoring in the shoulders/body.

His arms look third world in 17 I think.....
