Come on, Man! If you can do better, then I would highly recommend putting in a job application. Otherwise, you got to chill with this talk every chance you get. Heaven forbid if they "mess up" the Bucks. We might have to talk you away from a ledge somewhere.

It could be as easy they got to who they had time to get to this year, and they'll get to more in NBA 2K18. There have been improvements in the player models which should CLEARLY indicate that they're working on them. There have been improvements in the arena lighting which should CLEARLY indicate they're working on them.

At this point, you just need to decide whether or not you're going to skip 2K17 due to the player models.

I agree, some people remind me of that South Park episode where Stan only sees the bad in things and everything looks like crap.

I'm going to put it in simple terms so you guy can understand me better, 2k is in a position where they don't have to give major improvements especially correct player models. Just think if 2k gave us everything we wanted player models and modes what would give us the reason to update. For example I purchased WWE 2k16 as a casual gamer I downloaded over 300 Created Wrestlers that are more detailed than the on disc models do you think I'm going to upgrade to WWE 2k17 knowing I got the roster I wanted, heck no let me remind you I'm a casual gamer. Just put that into perspective if NBA 2k gave us similar abilities to update our created players like WWE 2k there will be casual NBA 2k gamers satisfied with that current game and not want to upgrade, that's bad for business. You have the best game developers in NBA 2k you telling me they can't get a player model correct, no they can its just bad for business. Watch when Neo and Scorpio come out how player models are correct on one system and not the other, just watch and everybody going willfully upgrade consoles because they don't think.

Best post I've read on OS in a while. I've been thinking the exact same things for a while. That's real talk and makes perfect sense.

See, I'm down with them making the appropriate changes and all, but this is when you start to go beyond just being constructive.

No one needs to lose their job or is "incompetent," but they do need to add more body types, fix the one's that look bad and such.

It sucks to say this, but people need to realize that this is a video game on a one-year development cycle so things will be missed. And I'm saying all that knowing damn well that most of the accessories issues (which I care about) won't be addressed. That's life.....

Oh damn. You actually believed what you posted earlier.

Let's put some perspective on this. First off, it's a short development cycle. They only have so much time and resources to fix old stuff and give gamers something new.

Second, the Neo and Scorpio are capable of delivering more "power" to the graphics due to the hardware. If the player models are better on the new systems, it's due to the hardware simply being able to handle it. It's not, because 2K Sports was holding back on the quality of their product. What company does that???

Lastly, a large group of people are going to buy the game every year on the simple premise that 2K Sports turns off the server on the previous title. Unless you're a die hard offline gamer, people are going to want to play the newest roster and continue playing My Park.

That's all excuses.

Many player models have seemed to have gotten worse. Period. Lets not act like they didn't have time to make Player X's arms bigger, etc. That's just ridiculous. It's called not having attention to detail. And it shouldn't be hard.

And trust me, I already saw the pic where they had the Bucks uniforms messed up...same as last year. But I guess I'll just assume they didn't have time to fix the colors.
