NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #3 - Art Direction

[shonuff2k]

so the trailer comes out tomorrow?

judging by the screen, D Rose doesn't have his adidas leg sleeves that go from slightlt above the knee down to near the bottom of his calf. then there should be a little bit of skin showing, then his socks a little, then his ankle braces.

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #3 - Art Direction

Being a 2K PC player, I can't say I'm impressed watching these screenshots. To be honest, they look worse than last year's (I know, it's taken from consoles without mods) but where are the facial expressions?

And I too gotta say this insight is pretty weak. Show us comparisons from last year instead of releasing a bunch of random screens with half the players looking stoned or like zombies.

On the positive side, looks like they finally got Bynum face right.

</TD> <TD style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(/vBulletin/images/quotes/00.gif); WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 1px" width="100%">

Also from this quote, it sounds like they put back the cheerleaders under the basket yet every screenshot released doesn't feature them. Screenshots from an old build? Maybe that's why the players look so lifeless.

great job 2k. im not complaining but are we going to see ingame facial expressions on these new models...D. rose looked great but his face didnt tell the storey that he was attempting a ferocious banger

No offense but you guys complaining about accessories are funny to me with all of the things to complain about you choose calf selves instead of gameplay seriously!! I mean you have to play the game you guys know that hopefully and I hope when or If we get a Game that's crappy because all we complain about is calf selves and the skin between them that 2k says that you guys wanted this all show no game

wow i was thinking the same thing...not complaining but 2k has to correct thatasap...drose is the reigning mvp. 2k owes it to him to be spot on...they have to fix it bc it gives him that distinctive signature look

andrew! is that you?!

[LM1213]

you know what gets me? ( well I'm gonna tell you) Ronnie said they held off on the insight so they could release the video with it. So today they release the insight with no video saying it will be tomorrow, because of IGN. well if you weren't sure you could release the vid with the insight, just release the insight.

Or better yet, just release the insight Friday like you said, and release a video Monday. But okay, all that aside, my big thing is Ronnie couldn't even be like "sorry guys, we dropped the ball, but here is the update."

Nope, they just act like they never even said anything at all. Like they didn't know there consumers were waiting. Now I've seen this before from 2k so I am not in the least surprised. But damn, some ownership of a lie or mistake would have made the world of a difference. If any of the the 2k peeps check up on this board, a simple sorry to your consumers could go a long way instead of acting like nothing ever happened. mistakes happen, and that''s fine, but heck, just man (company/marketing) up. DONE.

He does have the elongated knee sleeve. I remember seeing it in one of the pics. Go to the screenshots section on this site in fact.

When people get into the whole "i cant believe your worried about that" post it gets under my skin a little. Some things interest others that may not interest you! Thats just how things are. Nithing is more significant than the other! They all come together to make a great game!
The way it looks,plays,simulates,stats etc. all play a part! I personally dont care about "my player" or sim stats or online but that doesnt mean its not important or doesnt have its place. I just dont get that response? Ig cost you nothing...pay the post no mind if you think its a juvenile request.

Juvenile request... You don't even know me don't say it's a juvenile request you need to look at your self I just stated my opinion if Ivget under your skin so much ignore me?

@Green Magic om not trying to argue I dont do internet arguing. And I meant if you think their request are juvenile let it be we are all looking for the same thing...a great game! What makes it great to you might not be what makes it great to someone else. I apologize if what I said seemed different.
Its when people say "why are you worried about that" it goes from critisizing the game to critisizing the person imo. To each its own though
