Also, that's a mind blowing fact for me.
Thats not actually true. For example, EA didnt have the MSG license when Fight Night Champion came out but they wanted a NY arena. So they made an arena that looks EXACTLY like MSG and called it "NY Arena".

The only thing the MSG license grants is the right to use the name and logo of MSG. That isnt the reason that 2k's color is off.

There are multiple examples of games that had the same colors and floor/field/ice art but didnt have the license. NHL 15 didnt have the United Center or PNC arena licenses but it had the same ice art and colors as those arenas.

Paul George still looks Lebron big.

The only one that hyped me was Ingram (at least his upper body)

Korver hair has been fixed it seems
I disagree with you. Thats the thing about judging player models. Some people will love them. Some will hate them. Its in the eye of the beholder.

So you're saying that NBA players are that big and bulky?
Just look at George if that seems fine to you!

Re: NBA 2K17 Trailer - Friction

Last year the player models were too big, now they too skinny and yall complain about muscle definition. Obviously you'll never be happy.

Hell I remember playing Jordan vs Bird and Bulls vs Blazers and each arm was like two pixels. Maybe thats why im not so picky.

Only time the muscle definition stuff matters is in close up shots or replay...I (personally) hardly notice that stuff when I'm playing. I totally understand wanting to see greatness visually but some of you guys really take it too far.

The models look fantastic as compared to 2k16 that's a fact. Everything else is everything else and most likely going to be a WIP over the next few years.

I would guess that's 2001 Kobe Bryant from the 2001 Los Angeles Lakers team that was included last year.

Rookie Kobe rocked the old Lakers jerseys.

LeBron's calves are still too large.

Bosh has the KD/Ingram body type when his was already pretty accurate in 2k16.

Wade/DeAndre/DeMar still haven't been touched.

CP3 still has the completely wrong bodytype when there are a couple better suited for him (the average bodytype given to most players last year is a better fit for example)

MSG still has the wrong shade of blue (more likely than not Milwaukee is still too dark as well)

Reggie Jackson and Thaddeus Young still don't have updated hair.

Robin Lopez doesn't have his beard.

Andrew Bogut hair isn't updated.

Some chest logos on jerseys are still too small (Pacers, Lakers, etc.). Striping still isn't fixed on Pistons jerseys.

Color palette still appears washed out as well when it comes to unis and accessories.

The game appears to be a lot more physical this year. I like it.
