Body scanning still a thing? So out of all the screenshots of players with the wrong body types Gobert gets special treatment?

It probably went down like this;

RG: Yo, can I come in to body scan? I think I need to....

2K (amongst themselves): He doesn't know yet.....*laughter*

2K: Yeah sure, come in. The more the better. Our body scanning tech is better than ever.....

To be fair, this happens in real life as well if you look only at a still shot:

Hmm you got any other examples though? Only seems to apply to the player who's facing the other way (as a result of the attempted block).....I see what you're saying though...

I guess they stopped handing out the screenies.

Re: NBA 2K17 Player Ratings & Screenshots (More Added as They Are Revealed)

Or they ran out of players who would "drop them a follow".

What do you guys think of these arms?

I just don't understand how 2K can look at some of these player models & not tell that their arms are too skinny let alone missing muscle definition smh. I mean look at this comparison pic. What's worse is they changed certain players body types that didn't need to be changed (Dennis Schroeder comes to mind). Idk it just baffles my mind how this game can be so detailed but yet they can't seem to get something as basic as player models down. Most players in the NBA don't have huge traps like NFL players but in 2K they do. Most players in the NBA have broad pronounced shoulders but in 2K they don't. This type of stuff really puts a damper on the game for me. I get that it doesn't bother some people but I'm big on authenticity & immersion. Player models need to be top priority next year.

The way they have some of these shoulders shaped/sloped just looks so unnatural.

I think the art team needs to take an anatomy class.

Seriously bro. These screenshots are killing the little bit of hype that I had for this game smh.

I actually don't believe muscle definition is in the game. There's bulky body types but not defined or "ripped" from what I've seen.

That seems to be the underlying issue.

But yes, next year perhaps. From a playable cam hopefully it softens the blow for you bro.

I hear ya but I'm just gonna make peace with it with fingers crossed for 2K18.

I'd like to see Iggy. He'd be a good indication.

These player models are so terrible, the only thing I can think of is they're doing this on purpose, so next year they can tout "all new, more realistic player models".


That's the only conclusion I can come to, because there's no way their art department can be this incompetent. And if they are, then whoever is in charge of the bodies needs to be fired.

I'm with you on this. It's like they're going backwards in progress and not forwards. 2K14 had everyone skinny, 2K15 they made some progress, 2K16 had some too big, 2K17 is a mix between 2K14 and 2K16. It doesn't make sense that a better body type is available in game, but they choose something totally wrong for most of them.

This may be the first year that I skip a NBA 2K game if they can't patch this stuff.

You guys have to think in business terms 2k is in bed with ps4 and Xbox One so their screwing up player models up on purpose on the current consoles so when the ps4 neo and Xbox Scorpio come out people will be like wow look at the graphical jump from the current consoles. Player Models will be on point, player detail, photorealistic faces, you got to be a fool to not think 2k holding back graphically, people would jump at the opportunity to abandon the current consoles and game to upgrade to ps4 Neo and Xbox One since it is a cartoon direction 2k is heading in, for photorealistic graphics knowing we had that already in 2k14.

It's fine to criticize the models, but to say 2k is going backwards is one of the most preposterous things I've read.

That's a stretch. The Neo and Scorpio aren't even going to be huge leaps ahead graphically speaking anyway.

Let's throw faking the moon landing on 2k while we're at it.

Just think about how cell phones work nowadays you download a app than the app comes out with new features but you have to upgrade to the new iPhone, android to get it and you upgrade. Just think in business terms 2k is in bed with ps4 and Xbox One this is all a plan to upgrade consoles, Easports is involved also.
