    I've been thinking about this for a while now. I really hope we choose body types, and not have everyone the same for every height.

    I really hope they fixed the way he plays. Felt like in 2k16 they made him slow and a little too bulky.

      This may seem like a funny post, but the rim and net look better to me. Might just be in my head though.


      The net just looks a bit more real than last year from the angles I saw it.


      Rim and net animations are big for me haha. Keen to see a vid where I can see rim/net physics though. Gamescom I guess.

        I'm not excited!
        Playing NBA 2K feels like a job that pays minimum wage and then cuts your pay when you get your Bill's right to make it even harder to succeed. I do not like this game but it's the only one in town.

        At cheese, I'm trash. At basketball, I'm great!

          Looks nice, other than some faces. The big news is that it looks like they finally gave MJ an ELBOW band. Big moment in the history of accessory accuracy. I'm impressed.

            Looks pretty good for no scan eh?

            Crazy how much better the 2K11 Jordan looks than recent attempts.

              2K11 MJ looked good other than the body model and skin tone. He was too big, and the skin tone was way too light. His skin tone fit Pippen more than MJ. I'm glad they listened and changed it at some point.

                ^^ Body types was a game-wide issue; The face model is no comparison to me... One looks like Mike one doesn't. Stuff like this is why I'm only buying for the PC going forward.

                  However that doesn't mean the player models weren't overly buffed out.

                  In other words they look bigger than normal actual basketball players who aren't as big as they look in the game.

                  You know good and well Chris Paul is not this huge

                  You're right but I remember not too long ago, all players were too skinny in 2K. I'll take these player models any day over the anorexic ones we used to have lol.

                    God, that abrupt key change got all up in my head. Ugh.

                    Game looks real purty.

                    That's all.


                    Can't wait for the gameplay info to begin the flow. I think a lot of great groundwork was laid out last year. This year could be my favorite. Also, since Westbrook ain't on the competitor this year, hopefully he gets a proper head to toe scan.

                        The Dream Team's shorts look pretty good and encouraging for old school teams.

                          I'll just drop my small knowledge on the old legend faces vs the new since I used to mod. This may seem like an excuse but, it was easier to make cyberfaces for players on the old gen. I actually went back the other day and looked at 2k14 players and I couldn't believe how good awful it looks compared to now (and this is a modded 2k14). It was the same reaction I had going from Live 08 for PC to NBA 2k9 for PC.

                          The worse the graphics, the easier it is/was to hide imperfections with players and even other art assets. Given that face/body scans have revolutionized the art in the game, it creates this weird dynamic of having 100% accurate faces for most current players and then having hideous legends. Some may not remember this, but you'd have to wait yearly to see if they'd be able to accurately create cyberfaces FOR CURRENT PLAYERS, some of which never came.



                          Modders had some photorealistic ones and obviously people started the "why can't 2k do it when some modder did it." Well that modder took days and countless hours getting it that accurate while the art team at 2k has to worry about creating the art for the entire game and putting it into a pipeline to meet certain deadlines. Like do any of you know how much time it takes for them to edit one shoe so that we can go in and create any colorway we want? They have to essentially take apart the model and create distinct RGB layers on each section that can be edited.

                          With all that said, is that excuse to be as off as they are? Hell no, especially if you're going to focus on bringing retro teams and players in. But like I said previously in prior post, unless a lockout happens and the only thing they can do is focus on legends, they'll get minimal focus because it's not the priority. Personally, I wish they'd focus on getting everything current as close to right as possible first because things like guys being the wrong skintone, having incorrect bodytypes, having outdated hairstyles, incorrect uniforms, etc. is inexcusable given the visual assets they have access to and the scanning process.

                          EDIT: And we're still doing the yearly this isn't gameplay so w.e thing huh? Lol. You guys should know the schedule by now given it's been the same since 2k15. The week of Aug. 7 is the first short clip of in game footage. The week of Aug. 23 is always the first "official" hype trailer. September can be random sometimes, but there's usually 2-3 trailers that month with the last being the Momentous trailer a week or a few days before release(last year was a bit weird since the trailer released the same day as the game given the early tip-off weekend pre order thing).

                            What there was seemed pretty good. Just hope that horrible rendition of the National Anthem is not indicative of the quality of this years soundtrack.

                            That said I am usually lukewarm on the soundtracks and then by the time a year has passed about half of them have grown on me.

                              Ld2k excuse was because face scan and the legends where too old etc etc...

                              Thing is though last gen faces didn't need scanning at all. My guess is that they cut some art staff when face scanning came to the fold.

                                Sadly, this makes sense. If true, they cut the wrong people....


                                Put the gen 3 Jordan face on the gen 4 body and I'd be happier than having this hideous thing running around posing as GOAT. Haha..... and I'm actually serious (that's how bad it is to me).
