The floating jerseys gave an illusion that people were bigger than they really were. Add the broad shoulders 2k gave everyone and the entire league looked like LeBron. Now that shoulders are narrower and jerseys are tighter, things look off proportioned body type wise. (Though arms could be slightly bigger)

I don't think that's it. The proportions just look off especially when you've been staring at NBA players every night. It's really the arms though, and not so much the chest.

Could it be that some of their heads are too big in relation?

KG doesn't look bad

Would you guys prefer everybody is huge and looking like they're on steroids?

Even Lebron. It can't be that hard, can it? Overall much better than Cur-Gen. Even the freethrow fist bumps look so much more lifelike. Guys who need SLIGHT beefing up: Tyson Chandler Lebron James David Lee Andre Iguodala Kevin Garnett It's probably an all around problem with bigs/muscular forwards.

What is wrong especially with Lebron? he looks perfectly fine

[Sundown]

Gotta say it's pretty sweet that everyone looks like themselves though-- at least all the stars, except I don't think Carmelo looks very good, and Curry wasn't great.

He looks decent but his arms and especially shoulders are somewhat bigger in real life. Same with Dwight. But both of them are jacked so when they look smaller in 2K they still look good.

Nah, the heads are ok, it's the arms that aren't in relation to the body making things seem weird. Apparently it must be the "normal" body type that's the problem since that is the most common among players. Looking at LeBron, I know he has a different more muscular body type so I'm guessing it's like it was before except the normal is too skinny. Maybe the update Beluba was referring to fixes all the normal subtypes as well(normal, muscle, ripped)

I never said he looked bad. He looks great. I'm saying how he could be improved even further-- especially for being the cover athlete.

If every valid critique got dismissed as "nitpicking" just because others don't see it or care, the game would never be or look as good as it does today. It's because the devs are nitpickers that they care about realistic lighting and measuring light levels and the manufacturers of LEDs.

Chandler's head looks really big too.

We don't seem to have any ripped body types anymore. Guys like Iggy are quite a bit more defined. They used to have *really* ripped models in 2K11. Everyone seems to kind of have the same definition.

I think it's hilarious that Lopez had possibly the worst animation I've seen in NG 2K14 after his foul. It's comical-- then it's immediately followed by a super-lifelike fistbump from Paul Pierce. That looked GREAT.

I understand that but compared to some other players arm's Lebron looks great
not too many complaints about him i rather have them take looks at bigs like Pau Gasol , D12 ect
