NBA 2K14 Next-Gen only has TWO body types

With the game already out, I have noticed that there are only two body types (probably 3 with the inclusion of fat) for next-gen NBA 2K14.

Slim, and Normal (maybe Fat too)

In current-gen NBA 2K14, there are 4 body types. Them being Slim, Normal, Athletic, and Fat.

Slim Body Type

Next-Gen NBA 2K14 almost obviously based the Slim body type on Kevin Durant to achieve accuracy with his body. However as a result, other players who deserve to be slim are also affected by this.

Players like Roy Hibbert and Paul Pierce deserve Normal body type in the game which can be easily edited by 2K with the roster file.

However, players like David Lee, and Pau Gasol need a new body type which I would like to call LEAN.

That would be a body type that is not slim but rather normal, but has little to no muscle tone. Making it almost straight.

In Tim Duncan's situation, a new Slim Body type should be created instead of basing it on Kevin Durant. Current Gen's Slim Body Type works great as it can be applied to most NBA players.

Normal Body Type

We all know LeBron in current-gen has an Athletic Body Type that has broad shoulders. However, it is clearly not the case here as it looks like he has the exact same body type as other players such as Kobe Bryant (who IMO should be slim) and James Harden.

What can we expect from Next-Gen NBA 2K15? Well I hope that they add more body types in the game. Most notably, the Lean Body Type which is right in the middle of the slim and normal body type. Also, the return of the Athletic body types and more muscular tones.

They did develop it for two different generations. I think I can give them a pass on having only 3/4 body types lol. I'm sure next year they will have more time and resources to put on next gen, since current gen is topped off.

considering current gen 2k14 was basically a reskinned 2k13 with new controls they should have had more body types for next gen.

IMO, this goes under my no big deal. the product out the gate has exceeded expectations. Im sure in the upcoming years there will be more body types and better weight distribution in action
