LOL. Actually I didnt. In my last post, I stated that I havent played every NBA game. So I have no idea if other games have done player models right. Even games I played last year, dont answer the question for me.
I played Live for about 30 minutes last year but played their pro am mode so I didnt see any of the actual player models. For all I know, EA couldve got it right.
A legit excuse is....its all subjective. There is no middle ground. There are some models that I think are exact (D. Lillard) but I promise you there is someone who has a "major issue" with his bicep or calves or fingers or mustache.
It depends on the person. That doesnt mean that a person cant complain about the model being "off" in their opinion. But you cant follow that up with "2k needs to get this right" because "right" depends on the person.
I promise you 2k's art team looked at Paul George and thought "he looks realistic." Others disagree.
