    I'm surprised the guy in the video was harsh on Isiah...he looked good to me. He forgot Kerr as well.

    Turns out the legends did get a bit of work, though there's room for improvement. We should keep this in mind next year, lol
    Yeah, can't complain too much. Don't mind eating some humble pie. Just gotta get my hands on the game now.

    Just a few hours left and it's off to the United Center with Jordan and the gang......

    Still sulking about Steve Nash and the Sixers though.......

      It's a shame we don't have the filters so we can really appreciate those improved legends.

        Just have to re state how TERRIBLE the "thin" players look, I bought Rudy Gobert in MyTeam and he looks absolutely ridiculous, it's even more noticeable on tall players like him.

        He looks like the biggest pencilneck ever lol, someone should tweet him with an image of his player.

          It would be nice if someone could post some screencaps from the video I posted maybe with side by side comparison pics from 2k16. Some of the player models were improved dramatically. Bill Russell is a definite standout improvement, as is Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, and Dennis Rodman. I also thought Isaiah Thomas looked good and we have seen that Steve Kerr was significantly improved as well. I thought Mark Price looked much better as well. My only real complaint is the 2007 Cavaliers LeBron, his player model in 2k16 looked more accurate to his 2007 look than the 2k17 version does. In 2k17 it looks closer to his 2009 look and would actually be a great face to use if they ever included the 2009 MVP Cavaliers LeBron, they would just need to add a few more tattoos and bulk his build up to the current Cavaliers LeBron player model, but for a 2007 LeBron last year's version looked more accurate.

            I'll be home in a few hours - I'll throw as much legends content here as I can.

              Hey man, do you think you could also post a picture of Hakeem "The Dream" if you get the chance? Thanks.

                  I know man, I almost want to start a patch request thread for the classic team filters like they were in NBA2K12 to be put in NBA2K17.

                      Faces aren't bad. Now the two big issues for me are signature styles & arena atmosphere.

                          Game is loading up now - will be live streaming soon.

                          Man, can't BELIEVE they removed MJ's tongue.

                          That's SIGNATURE stuff right there. One of the most iconic bits of imagery in the NBA.

                          First the pump fake gets removed. Then 'The move' was taken out. Then two of his signature layups, now the tongue......will we even have him in the game in the next few years??

                              Ahh yeah, that too!! And also screwed up his ankle brace!

                              Not exactly giving the deserved respect to the GOAT since last gen. That's not on, man.
