The skinny highschool model brought over from 2k16 has to be one of the most dumbfounded decisions imaginable.
Like here's Evan Fournier and Mario Henzonja. Both not overly muscular, but this build just makes them look so cartoony and just out of place. They stick out like a sore thumb when playing.

Yea I hope there's some coding reason behind it. Like gpu could only process 60 frames if they were smaller models. Because I agree, it almost looks like a joke. I still have hope that it'll get patched on day one. Maybe they ran out of time.

Instead of listing everyone that shouldn't have that skinny body type (it's a long list..) we should identify who should even have it in the first place.

The list is: Brandon Ingram.. that's it. Maybe include Durant there. The Terrence Ross/Wiggins/Curry body type from 2K16 needs to come back, no question.

I know your just speculating here but I guarantee you it's not a performance-based decision.

I think the senior leaders/management at 2K made a conscious decision to have the art team focus on the new shoe models for 2K17. With the main reason behind that being shoes earn them VC, accurate and detail bodytypes don't.

Really? I am super disappointed, and really hope this can be fixed. those skinny models are an absolute embarrassment.

This was just a bad choice through and through. They would have been better off sticking with the Durant frame from 2K16 as the skinny frame and leaving this super-thin one out altogether. There is literally one person in the league who this is appropriate for...Brandon Ingram. That's it. Bad bad choice, and it's pissing me off that it is 1. Worse than last year and 2. It doesn't seem like something they can or will even attempt to address in THIS GAME, seeing as how these complaints haven't even been acknowledged as legitimate by 2K.

Very upsetting to know that you have a whole year to deal with this f'ed up thing and the game hasn't even released yet.

Third repost:





1. Logo too small.
2. Shade of blue should be much darker.
3. NBA logo should not be on the front of the jersey.

They made Derozan too bulky.
