What the 3D modeler would need to do a 3D model replication of a human head/face would be a full on profile/side view and a front view for any athlete if he can't get scanned. Check out some of the youtube videos of individual doing real 3D modeling work.

All from google images. Just search "Russell Westbrook side view face" or something like that.

I thought that was the throwback Russell model

Speaking of muscle definition. Why don't they use this body type on some of the guys like Russ who should have bigger or more definition in their arms? Unless this is a newer build and they do now?

That's not hard to believe to me. Russ seems to be a loyal dude.

The more pics y'all post of Westbrook the less I blame 2k for messing his face up lol that dude has a weird bone structure in his face...its like a cave man

And, for all the talk of how great the art/lighting is with live (and I agree, this has been always a strong point for them), with great-looking player body models, muscle definition, etc. I've noticed (at least from the demo) that live sorta uses just 1 general lean "athletic" body model for all players, and tweaks them to suit certain players (e.g. taking the general body type and making the extremities longer for KD/Giannis). Everybody is relatively lean, has well-defined muscles, etc. Because everybody shares the same model, basically... Dunno. It all comes down to preference, I guess. I personally like the fact that 2k uses different body types, and tunes them to suit individuals, but this approach is prone to f*ck ups as well. It's just that, in live, for guys like Bron and Russ, the combo of a great face-scan (when they do report for a scan) and that general athletic body type works very well...

LaVine? LaVine looks terrible in Live! I don't know how you guys can possibly think Live looks better. Westbrook maybe. LeBron?! You're crazy man. He has never looked better in a video game than he does this year. They looked pretty great in the Live trailer. But once I got in game and it looked like I was playing an old gen game, I don't see how it's even close.

Calling it as I see it man.. everything is relative, to each his own, all that...

[WTF]

Some very selective photo comparisons in here. lol. We all see people differently. Having met Lebron several times, he's nowhere near as smooth as what he is in 2k. Dude's skin is darker/blemished in a lot of spots, where I give Live a big nod. Others, Like ForeverVersatile see things differently and give 2k a nod, which is perfectly fine. Westbrook however, I don't know if 2k has ever scanned him. If it were "closer" it wouldn't bother me as much.

Regardless, from a broadcast angle we won't be noticing it nearly as much. Westbrook though needs a scan. In 2k, I hate playing against them because he's one of the most recognizable faces in the league, and just want him done correctly.

For me, I personally like this Lebron though (Selective Photo by me)
