If you photoshop and create a fake shadow on his arm in the game pic, you'll see how much like the real like pic it looks. Sent from my SM-G955U using Operation Sports mobile app

Pretty much...lighting on 2k makes the players look flat. 2k has the muscles but thanks to the poor lighting you can't really see it. Lighting shadows...the other game seems to capture it.

It's not just the lighting; it's the actual shape of the arms.





These are all from broadcasts, and there aren't nearly as many shadows accentuating the muscles. Yes, the muscle definition itself isn't there in the game, but I'm talking strictly about the shape of the arms/muscles. Even if the "cut" lines aren't as pronounced, the shape of the players doesn't match real life.

Yeah the biceps don't really have a peak.You see in this pic i took a while back the lights hit him at all the right spots making him appear ripped.

Just look at how short his lower body is. His head is a little big too, but these dudes are soo long in real life, and he just looks like a little kid. It looks so bad from all angles.

They should hire artists who really know their human anatomy.

Not to diss the artists they have, but yea.
