Low res is the general feel I'm getting from the overall player textures from what we've seen thusfar.

Meh, I don't see how you've come to that conclusion. Player models look good other that the husky legs which I never notice.

I'm sure they will look nicer in the game on your TV/Monitor than through a picture.

Got a good feeling about the shoes this year

As someone who likes to make rosters, I'm guessing we won't be able to edit teams into retro teams anymore as they will all have these socks generically. The only option would be to replace them with ankle braces/ wraps, given the quality of the graphics this year it won't be as easy to substitute socks with these accessories anymore as they will look too realistic.
I hope there's an option to change them...

The leg/calf area actually looks slimmer to me than it does in NBA2K15.

Didn't come to any conclusion, just said that's the general feel I'm getting from what we've seen thusfar. Once they decide they would like to share some screens and videos in high resolution, perhaps that feel will change. So far though, the overall textures and lighting on them looks very mediocre to me.

NBA players can wear normal black and white socks or the team themed socks.

I really don't see NBA players during the game wearing those team colored socks, especially the older guys.

I hope they have themed socks at least for the All Star games this year, probably the only time the players will wear different socks. Surely if they're showing them in an in-game screenshot we have to be able to equip them how we like.

Let me put it in another way: you rather 2k focus on making the gameplay the best it can be or focus on socks, shoes, headbands, customising players, having your own face in the game? To me these are all distractions and side tracks to what the game is really about and still has not improved that much in 10 years: gameplay. If that was solid, I can understand why you would like most of these things to be like in real life, but with so much of the actual game far from perfect, I just hope 2k for once really goes all in on getting the best game possible on the court.

Though I agree that gameplay trumps everything, I don't see these as competing features. There's a gameplay team, and there is an art department. They can work in parallel.

What would you lead you to think its not with him being the cover boy ? The celebration is obviously mocapped

What makes it "obvious"? It's not a hard celebration to replicate. Anyone could have done that. Heck, they could've had Rivers do it.
