NBA 2K18 Screenshots and Ratings - Towns, Giannis, Beal, Ross and More

As a Wolves fan, Gianna's should be rated better than KAT right now.

I wonder why Giannis' picture is such a lower quality compared to the others; it's all pixelated.

Towns looks too skinny, he's way more bulky than that

Yea his face looks like he is holding his breath. And I wanted a full body of Greek but so far the 2k16 body for Greek actually looks better to me because it was more ripped in the arm and shoulder area.

Looks like they're showing off giannis's huge hands. Pretty cool

EDIT: So no one actually misinterprets what I wrote. Bradley Beal's arm length only looks short in the NBA2k18 screenshot because his arms are bent. If his arms were fully extended in that position, then that would be anatomically incorrect.

In other words, Bradly Beal's arm length looks fine.


I had to do a double take when I read your comment because I was extremely worried about what you said about the arm length because to be anatomically correct, your arms need to extend way, way, way past your waist.

If his arms truly ended just below the waist, that would be anatomically incorrect. His arms are bent, that is why they're at that position. Unless the person has some very different genetic variation, everyone should be able to cuff their butt with their fingers and the wrist joint at the crotch level.

Anatomically correct means the arms including hands reach past your hips/groin area. Waist is where one's belly button resides or the location of the belly button. Anatomically correct also means that your elbow crease is closer to your waist than your hands.

Bradley Beals arms/hands need to be well past his hips/waist with his wrist joint positioned at the groin area, and hand in full extension pass his butt (EDIT: ... which is what will happen if NBA2k18 had Bradley Beal fully extend his arms. In other words, Bradley's arm length is fine. Click on spoiler tag below.


Bradley Beal back view and Anatomy Chart
Notice how a person can cuff their own butt when their arms/hands are fully extended, and that their hands are well past their waist/hip area. And the wrist joint in where the groin is at.

His arms are not straight down in that image. Doubt he has short forearms.
