Re-read what I wrote. That's exactly what I'm saying.

I just needed to address a poster's earlier post saying that the arms looked "better" shorter (as in 2k have variation in arm length), which is anatomically incorrect. Arm length variation doesn't come at the expense of incorrect anatomy.

Bradley Beal arm length is fine.

Players models do look MUCH better than last year, but they still have a little ways to go with getting player bodies to look more accurate to their real life counterparts.Many guys need to have more muscle definition.

I'm not seeing much of a difference in all these bodies we've seen so far.

And some of the guys have the same face as last year. Not sure if that's on the player or 2K. But looking at the Greek Freaks, it doesn't look much like him...it's the same as last year. Same with Marcus Smart, which has been pointed out. And also they have Malcolm Brogdon with short hair, which he hasn't had in a long time.

I wanna see more legs tho. I wanna see some long, lanky legs.

It all looks seriously good. But anyone wonder when we're gonna see players with ripped physiques look...ripped? Like guys with muscles that look like this:



With sinews and stuff. I bet it's HARD as hell to render that cuz then you're basically talking about actually simulating muscle groups realistically...for 10 players all at once.

Might have to wait for PS5 and Xbox Zeta or whatever they call the next gen.

The lack of muscle definition is one thing that definitely stands out to me in almost every screenshot. For example...

I noticed that too. It's like someone snapped a picture with their phone of someone zooming in on GA during instant replay. I will take this GA over 2k17 by a mile though. Stop playing though 2k..Time to drop a Westbrook (MVP) and a Harden (Live cover guy) image.

Sorry didn't mean to say his arms looked better shorter. I just liked that his arm length looked shorter than other players, indicating that wingspans should be noticeably different.

I wish they rescanned Giannis's face because his hair and facial hair have changed a lot
