    Players Too big on the court

    The players are too big on the court, if you ever watch real basketball you would notice that players are much smaller compared to what 2K has.
    They really should just downscale the players down a bit and it would be perfect. Doing this helps broadcast angle be easier to play with as it improves spacing and makes the corner 3's easier to see. This also slows the game down a bit as the floor is bigger and makes fastbreaks/coast to coast plays much more satisfying. Without the body scans i would say downscaling the players would have been difficult as players would be hard to differentiate but with the scans it would no longer be an issue telling different players a part.

    also for some reason during free throws segments the players traps seem overly muscular. It seems to only happen during close ups but the actual on the court game play is mostly fine.

      its not a huge issue but just an added touch that will help with realism. One of the few + live has over 2k is the smaller player models.

        I agree that players are still too big despite what most people tend to say. It's been a pet peeve of mine for years.

          The guys in Live are way too small, there was a major thread showing how the space behind the short corner is close to 5 feet with how small their players are

            It's been stated several times in the past by the devs that the players to court ratio is accurately scaled.

              You have to see a game in person to really see how big the players are in comparison to the small court. TV doesn't do it justice. My first live game I saw that's the first thing I pointed out. 2k has it right.

                        It isnt a big issue but if they could just re-adjust player sizes by 5-10% i think it would help even more in terms of it actually looking like you are watching a real life game. They could even just make the court a bit bigger and players a little bit smaller.

                          In those two links the players look nearly identically sized to me.

                            I think the sizes are pretty accurate. I'm more concerned about the lighting compared to the vibrancy of a real broadcast.

                              Honestly, I always thought the court was too small for the players, but after getting used to it, it seems more realistic
