The hope we can have with the jerseys not touching the shoulders is that it looks like they haven't implemented the new "tighter fit" jerseys that the nba has

Not bad for now. Not sure if that's the graphical upgrade I was expecting for, but I'll wait until we can see it more clearly and in action.

I wish they would let us see Stevenson's feet, so we can see if they fixed those calf sleeves (which I doubt).

I wonder if Dirk is wearing low or medium socks...?


EDIT: They've finally made the sleeves shorter, so players can wear a sleeve AND a wrist band.

Overall I think it's an early build screenshot. The players and lighting on them look much more better and realistic than in 2K11, this is a great improvement.

I don't think this will be the final graphic look of the game, but I also don't expect a massive improvement over this example.

That shadowing on Dirk looks really awkward, needs a bit of work.

Those socks really need some better texturing as well, to get rid of that "plastic" look.

The player likenesses still look nice, though.

Looks like LeBron jammed his right thumb in a car door.

That's the first thing i noticed. I hate to complain about something that doesn't effect gameplay at all but I feel like that's one thing holding the visuals from looking truly amazing. Very rarely in a basketball game are players going to have blank stares on their face (no matter what is happening) yet it happens all the time in 2k (again no matter what is happening). If you watch replays you can even catch players with their eyes closed at inappropriate times.
What I don't understand is that on some plays (shots, dunk, layups, etc) players appear to emote or yell (at least open their mouth) but it seems to be random and not consistent. I'm not expecting L.A. Noire face animations but I would atleast like to see player faces show emotion at the appropriate times, not just whenever the game feels like it.

I think what I've noticed that's extremely different from 2K11 (at least I think so) is the muscle definition. Like look at Dirk's legs you can see the scar, or vein whatever that is, and his calf flexing as he's rising in the air. To me it's the little details that make a game look that much more realistic. Nice job even if it's early 2K!

New sock texture!!!!
 
# 50 youvalss @ 07/01/11 12:15 AM
Dirk's face reminds me of those Leonardo Da Vinci paintings for some reason...

Finally you can wear rubberbands and arm sleeves. Loving the colored shirts worn by the fans in the crowd, Game looks great already.

I hope they put more body types and different WINGSPAN (but sadly I have a feeling that this is impossible for this generation of consoles)

And they better remove those Aldridge's long socks , update his tatoos , give him some beard and HIS OWN sig shot.

i feel you with the whole nba socks thing. when i first got the game i was like wtf is up with these dudes wearing the wal-mart brand nba socks. i also think they should get the license from adidas too nba live 10 had Dwight's sleeve and Rose's ankle braces and ea not even making a basketball game so 2k need to go head and get the license. i also hope that they have everybody tattoos right this time like Wilson Chandler, Brandon Jennings, Monta Ellis, and etc. i also want to see better shoes and better colorways for the shoes. instead of giving me 3 slots for colors why not 8,9, or 10 slots i couldn't make the cool grey jordans on the game cause i couldn't keep the middle white

More shoes and more than 3 colors, they need to copy NIKE ID



Something like that would be perfect.

Hopefully players will actually hold the ball in 2k12, rather than having it hovering an inch from their fingers. From the look of this screenshot it doesn't look like they have fixed it. It amazes me that they've had the same problem since they launched the series.

It was stated around 2k7 I think...that this deals with shooting mechanics, ball physics, and overall game design. Players aren't ever going to fully hold the ball. They can get it as close as possible, but never completely realistic. Again, this was stated a long time ago by 2k.

DWade's arms look very realistic. Not as muscular as 2k11

I agree, they also need to fix the hight of shoes. There is no reason the Air Jordan VIII should be the same height as the cp3 IV.
