It's a video game anyways.
Dudes act like they are marketing something that by withholding information it's becoming life altering for them lol.

The level of detail they're going for is staggering
+ Arm hair, always an impressive detail lol
+ the script on the kicks
+ bouncing phalanges
+ scanned teeth
+ good looking mouth-guard (a basketball game first?)
+ signature ankle braces
- As in the screen, the hair is off. has that 'finger in a socket' look
- poor lighting again. Hides the dimensions of the face (cheeks and forehead).
- Seems too light in the face
- sliding as he steps to the freethrow line
- ankle braces are grey ( a legacy 2k white issue)

Curry's real ankle braces are grey, the straps are white.

And I don't think that would replicate what we see when watching real games on TV or in person, where we can see all of the details on a player's face and body.So it's not really a problem with the scan-- there should be little lighting information outside of ambient occlusion, and I'm sure 2K has their scan data adjusted correctly. It's more about how the characters are actually lit and shadowed and how the specular response brings back depth as it does in real life.
An additional difficulty is that basketball is played on a shiny hardwood floor that does tend to reflect back much of the arena light and flatten out some areas of figures. You don't really get harsh shadowed areas that help with definition. You get a lot of occluded soft shaded areas which 2K has done well simulating in realtime for a long time (even on last gen). This is what sometimes feels "real" vs. crappy graphics from the 90's. Notice how much 2K players do feel like they belong in their environment-- and notice how in the comparison shot the tones aren't THAT off from the actual video capture/photo even in areas not facing towards the arena lights. The rendering of shading under legs and between limbs is also quite well done.
But what's subdued or missing in comparison to real life are the bright highlights (adjustable through gloss and specular fresnel maps or lighting functions), and the self-shadowing. Notice how Curry in game doesn't have any highlights that reach white compared to his photo. Also notice how Curry's brow doesn't cast a shadow on his cheek in 2K nor his bottom lip on his chin.
The former can be improved in a number of practical ways. The latter is actually quite a difficult problem to get running fast and looking good in real time. That's probably more than you wanted to know.
At any rate, I'm more concerned about the fact that the scan process sometimes produces bulbous heads with facial features that are too small in proportion. Curry looks good, but when compared to a photo, he looks like he has a mild case of encephalitis or had a minor nose job to celebrate his NBA ring.
Im not going to over analyze the scan. Sure his skin could stand to be more yellow, but all in all that looks like Steph Curry
Doesn't look like his eye lids are taped to his forehead or anything
I hate that people have to nitpick stuff but when you hold back things like a new government secret project then when its released people are going to look harder.

Well if you watch the video the grey/off-white coloring on his leg sleeves actually moves, and it's the same grey/off-white coloring that's on the shadow of his jersey..
It is a shadow

Thats not grey, its still white, and its not a shadow
That grainy pic you just posted is a bad reference because the lighting is all messed up.
Anyway, whatever. Like I said i hate to nitpick here because there are alot of nice details, just wish it was more to see

Spoiler
The brace is white. It only looks grey because of the black padding bleeding through.

Now that 23 has brought it up it does look very grayish to me hopefully we can edit the color of it I would just leave it black if possible.
Beyond the shadows?
There you go guys the teaser/sizzle trailer will show off the new lighting system!

So it looks grey because the padding in real life, yet it's a problem that it looks grey in the game.... Ok then.
