There is a right answer, you go with whatever lighting gets you closest to an accurate representation of an nba arena

^^^ bingo.

Uhh... no. It's preference. What you think looks realistic isn't what others think (see oldheads post). The fact that you can't see this tells me everything I need to know about you.

Enjoy your hairstyle debate. I'm out.

Bye.

I thought the skin textures made the players look like clay figures up close. Here's the thing though...these consoles don't have infinite power. For every enhancement and addition...like better skin textures and animations...something will have to get scaled back. You being as old as you are and as experienced with video games should have a strong grasp of that. So if sweat is cut back or SSR is not as prominent...hell, if the lighting system had to be scaled back it's not because of gross negligence or lazy programming. I'm sure if 2K artists could max out every detail without losing performance they would. Do I wish there was a more realistic, vibrant lighting solution in 2k16...yup. Do I wish arenas were more detailed...yup. Do I realize that both consoles are being pushed by 2k as far or farther than any other sports game out there...yup. So I enjoy the game for its visual strengths and hope as technology continues to advance one day we get what everyone on this forum is always clamoring for.

Fully agree with a lot that you said though really what huge thing was added to 2k15 that would warrent them not to have enough room to keep the superior lighting of 2k14? 2k15 had better gameplay but lets be honest nothing leaps and bounds past 2k14

What are you speaking about. The way nba stadiums are lighted isn't some opinion based thing. It's some thing that stays relatively constant throughout the course of an 82 game season. It's not different than the logo in the center of the court.

If the seats are dark in the back of the Pelicans arena that should be reflected in the game. If Staples is a bright arena that should be reflected. The way players are lighted should reflect the brightness of the arena. It's not a matter of opinion, just compare a real nba game to nba 2k, and try to reflect that lighting in the game. Nba 2k14 came closest to that

How often are you going to look at that in the game? It seems a little off yeah and if they were to scan his head again or edit it then great. If not whatever. As a basketball fan I'm more concerned about his jump shot. **** his hair. Shave him for all I care, can he ball?

I'm going to be looking at him pretty much every moment of the game, because I'm playing as GSW. As a GSW fan I would think you'd actually want him to resemble himself as much as possible in the first game he's the cover athlete for.

2K just needs to take off some length from the front and top and it would be a pretty close match to his Finals appearance.
