Yeah, everyone has different things.
I think the thing with the gloves and other gear (at least for me anyway) isn't that it's something I'd normally focus on, but that the textures are so poor they draw attention to it. In other words, when it's right, you don't pay attention...and 2K's aren't right.
It's the same with the color palette and fonts. I don't spend too much time firing up a game and trying to pinpoint the difference in shades of red or blue, but when a team's colors aren't right, I immediately notice. If the numbers take up an entire players back, I notice.
That said, I can certainly look past it if the game is up to snuff. The rest of the visuals are fine, with the stadiums taking the biggest step forward and looking mostly great last year IMO.
