Getting the 2K16 Steph Curry body model back would fix so many of these issues.

I'm just going to paste my idea from the art team thread here since it seems much more fitting.

Wall of text incoming:

I'd be willing to wait until next year to see them fix this only if they rehaul how they design bodies.

Like, an entirely new system that has anatomically correct bone structure with muscles and skin over the top of it.

Examples:

Spoiler

Once this is in place, you allow us to change things like the body fat % (lean and ripped vs no definition) and the size of individual muscle groups with sliders. You'd already have the proper human anatomy as your basis.

Currently it seems like the way bodies are depicted is that an artist just made an approximation or rough estimate of a human body and didn't use actual anatomy as a guideline.

Which is cool for fantasy games but not so much for what is supposed to be the most realistic NBA sim on the market.

This results in the bodies being in the uncanny valley which is why it's so unsettling to look at sometimes.

For those who don't know what the uncanny valley is:

Basically the human brain can subconsciously tell when something that isn't human is trying to be human and it weirds us out. The better job something does of convincing us it's human, the less creeped out we become.

But if 2K was to implement a similar system they wouldn't even have to do full body scans of every player. You should be able to get relatively close just using the human anatomy as is with adjustable sliders.

Give us this tool for CAP, and let 2K adjust and tweak the NBA players on their end. They can fix body inaccuracies via patch this way too.

Can we please get that tweaked this year and not ignored again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I never understood what Ronnie meant when he said we finally got compression pants cuz compression pants were in the game last year. We were stuck to the same dull colors last year too.

Not to mention you can only equip them for MyCareer games and they are blocked from being used in MyPark. On top of this, it's tied to team color and you can't choose the color for yourself.

I'm going to do an extensive post on accessories soon too.

I've noticed a few players hair look purple instead of black. Jrue Holiday and Isaiah Thomas are 2 that I remember.

Thabo Sefalosha still has no neck and other players necks are too short.

Please replace the super skinny body type with old Steph Curry body for all equipped except for Brandon Ingram.

Please correct jersey and court colors so everyone can be happy.
