What I'm really asking is are we sure both classic and euro teams are all in next gen. If so, amazing. Seems odd that they would create so many new players twice in such different aesthetic styles and with such different fidelity, not just resolution or detail. They were modeled with a completely different approach with different models and textures.
Maybe there are two teams doing it which explains why the Euro current gen guys have the same style as 2k12-13 and the new guys look closer to that high quality cg ad for 2k13 awhile back.
They were obviously made with a different style/aesthetic and I had guessed those were the beginnings of the next gen models. If I'm right Blake/Rose/Durant/Michael will all look stunningly realistic as will everyone else that team has created in the meantime.
