Nothing was doctored. You have to catch him in replay mode when he makes these faces. This is from my xbox one x.

The Ignite engine they use for Live is exceptionally good at creating environments and using lighting. That's why Lives courts look so incredible and that's how it makes sense.

2k player graphics with Live's courts would be the perfect combo.

Finally a sports video game cover that actually looks dope.

It took developers years to realize that personalizing the cover with aspects pertaining to the chosen athlete makes it unique and creative. The quotes are a great way of making it interesting to look at and memorable.

I got so tired of looking at an athlete in front of a colored background that every sports game has been doing since forever, I know it's a small thing but I appreciate it.

2K18 was the best looking 2K as far a player models and uniforms, I can't imagine 2K19 looking better but we'll see.
