Is that 2K17 ?

Actually, fair point. That's 16 I'm sure. Haha.

But I don't think CP3 is much better in 17 from memory.

Re: The Art Team Really Tanked This Year.

I stated multiple times that this is just my opinion.

Did you even read what I said?

Havent got the game to see how the real players look, but in the Prelude I can say Im not a fan of the CAP system. Now Im not very good at making CAPs, but it does seem impossible to get you MyPlayer to look anything like you.

Probably my biggest gripe and maybe its just my incompetence when tyring to make a player, but it seems no matter what you your player will have a big nose. Not everyone has pig snouts for noses, and it seems no matter what you do your nose is always to wide, you can get the length right, so its not abig honker, but its still too wide.

I dont know anything about Facescan, so I cant scan myself, but you would think you could get close to what you look like with CAP, or whoever your trying to make for that matter. I know MyPlayer seems a little to big too, like Im a Line Backer, instead of what your typical 6'4 SG would nornally look like, especially just coming out of college.

I wasn't going to do this but I might do a full bodytype breakdown from a professional perspective.

Some of the thin bodies are SO bad this year (possibly the worst in 2K's history since... 2K7?) that I also mulled over a write up comparing player geometry and shading in previous games, to 2K17, and to actual players from a graphics and figurative art background. I'd love to read your take.

The only thing I can figure is that the curry body type from last year must have affected game play somehow so they removed it.

The new skinny body type was already in the game so it's not like they newly added it to replace the old one. Both body types existed in the game so why remove the old one if some players could actually benefit from that body type.

All they had to do was exclusively assign it to KD and Ingram. How hard could that have been if other players already have different body types?

Maybe they have a limit to how many body types are used between My player and normal NBA mode. I'm not sure how many body types were in Myplayer last year.

So there could have been some type of trade off. Make KD and Ingram skinny or have them look bigger. Either way the removed the old small body type for a reason and I think we should know why.

Re: The Art Team Really Tanked This Year.

I wonder if their was a max exodus of art developers leaving 2k because I heard that the art director left to work on WWE 2k so maybe more art developers left also.

Re: The Art Team Really Tanked This Year.

The art dept. needs to be held at a higher standard than this, especially when you have the developers putting so much into this game to make it great.

It's already bad enough for me with the whole Bucks court/unis being so bad. But this may be too much. Totally kills the immersion for me.

Last year the bodies weren't perfect by no means, but they were light years better than this year. No excuses.

Buy on PC, and download the mods. This is how it look my bucks court on nba2k16

Re: The Art Team Really Tanked This Year.

I think the developers were trying to appease OS community with the *skinny* stuff and they just went overboard..its our fault just accept it.

No, it's the developers fault.

Re: The Art Team Really Tanked This Year.

Are folks really trying to put the blame on us like seriously the art developers are professionals who get paid to do this for a living, just because we wanted some models to be skinny doesn't mean they had to go overboard and lose muscle definition like c'mon these are supposed to be real life athletes where representing not the highschool spelling b team.

Re: The Art Team Really Tanked This Year.

The skinny player models are terrible to the point it actually seems like a joke.

Even KD looked fine last year, maybe needed some slight shoulder tweaking but that's about it.

I agree that it seems impossible the devs couldn't look at the game vs. real life and think "Hmm, that isn't right..."

Realize that these are your opinions and not facts

He clarified it was his opinion. Nevertheless, stating something is your opinion when it's obviously an opinion is a ridiculous necessity around here.

I agree with the OP. However, ITS MY OPINION that control feels delayed again in some scenarios. I've already walked out of bounds on an inbound twice without pressing a button. And what's with the button memory when you don't have possession? (I.e. Automatically passing if you hit the pass button while ball is on the way to you).

Yes.

Its definitely apparent that some people struggle to stipulate the difference between opinion and fact around here haha.

Re: The Art Team Really Tanked This Year.

Well as a matter of fact, it's my opinion....that it's a fact.



That's enough out of me haha. Keen to hear from Books if he does decide to chime in on body types. That's gonna be a good read for everyone.
