From what I saw in the Draft Combine, it's an improvement from last year but its not in the final stages of the game yet so hopefully it can get better till the release.
There's a couple issues and suggestions I had about player accessories. It might sound like I'm nitpicking but I'm just giving suggestions to make the game as authentic as possible.
Great addition of the ankle brace, undershirt and compression shorts but how about face masks, goggles and even a mouthpiece. I remember 2K for Dreamcast players were able to use a mouthpiece. Alot of players uses mouthpiece in the league why don't we bring them back this year.
FACE MASK- Instead of creating a player's faces that has a face mask in them already like Richard Hamiltion last year they should just have it as an accessory. So people could just add or remove it for those players that wore them like Courtney Lee towards the end of the season.
GOGGLES- New school goggles, modern version of the old-school goggles players use to wear back in the day such as James Worthy and Horace Grant. Bo Outlaw wore them on occasion when he was in the league. And Amare Stoudamire has been spotted wearing them as of late.
DOUBLE WRISTBAND- We should able be to choose a different color for each rubberband instead of having just one color for both wristbands.
ARM SLEEVE- We now have long and short arm sleeves. But maybe we can shortened the sleeves in the wrist area so if we add a wristband in the same arm with the sleeve we would be able to see it. Last year if you wear a wristband with an arm sleeve, the sleeve completely covers the wristband.
FINGER STRAP- Looks very thin in the game, kinda like a ring even. Should be a little thicker. They should have it the way they had it in 2K for Dreamcast. The finger straps looked really good in that game plus a given few had numbers in them like Iverson.
In the game there are 2 finger straps in one hand. The middle and ring finger. Usually when a player wears a finger strap it's just in one finger, either the middle or ring finger but not both.
Leg Sleeves- We now have full leg sleeve (leggings), calf sleeve and half calf sleeve but there seems to a be a glitch with the leg sleeves. First you can't wear calf sleeves on both legs, only on the left for some reason. When one wears it on the right leg it shows as a full leg sleeve even though its calf sleeve. They need to fix this.
CALF SLEEVE- 2K should ditch these long calf sleeves. It's too long and covers the socks. They should have a gap of skin between the calf sleeve and socks.They should make it shorter, make the half calf sleeves the calf sleeves and the half calf sleeves shorter.
Heres a pic of Carmello Anthony in Live 10. It should look something similar to that.
And heres one with medium socks with a calf sleeve. The sleeve shouldn't cover the socks but under it.
HALF CALF SLEEVE- In the game when you wear a half calf sleeve your socks disappears. They should have a gap of skin between the calf sleeve and socks. 2K should replace long calf sleeves with these and make half calf sleeves shorter.
Leg Sleeves should be in its own category not a knee accessory. Therefore you can wear a knee pad with a calf sleeve. Or have a knee strap with a half calf sleeve to make it look like Michael Jordan's calf sleeve.
LEG BAND- Not in the game but should be added. It's like an arm band for the leg.
SOCKS- We should be able to change sock colors other than black and white.
High socks completely covers the knee like a leg sleeve. Maybe we should have 2 types of high socks, one that covers the knees and one that ends right below the knees. Call it a high and double high socks.
Last but not least, color coordination for accessories. In 2K9 headbands were set to a specific color for home and away games maybe we should expand the color customization and be able to color coordinate each accessory (head band, arm band, calf sleeve, etc...) to any specific color for home and away games.
