NBA 2K17: Reviewer First Impressions

Why won't they add tattoos to create a player?? This is a huge deal for me and they just won't add it back. Maybe they can patch that in!

Look-wise, the game looks better with more varied body types. The other tweaks are adding nice touches as well.

I can't trust anything he says about the game now.

A. The bodytypes are the same as last year.
B. They don't look better. If anything they look worse.
C. Look-wise, the game doesn't look any better. The similarity to last year is one of my main gripes

You'd be making a mistake. It looks the same but the gameplay is legitimately amazing. It's something you can only notice once you play it for a few hours. Everything is balanced really well

I just googled it and found the thread. I'm glad there is more people out there discussing this topic.
Instead on focusing (by that I mean financially investing...) on stupid MyCareer mode, they should acknowledge the fact that body types still sucks 3 years after the beginning of Next Gen !
Especially since we're talking about a damn sports game... Sports = Atheletes = Body for Christ's sake!

Yeah I know dude... He's part of a list of beefy guys looking awful in the game.
It's simple 2k marketing bragged about how amazing Ingram looks with his skinny arms and stuff... Well, they sure did not mention that half the league got the same treatment for some crazy reason.

Wow...serious? It's a good game and a good franchise.

I was happy with NBA 2K16 especially with the relocation feature. But once I found out they were going to have league expansion, I decided to go ahead and get the legend edition and wasn't disappointed.

Personally, the skin tones and overall lighting stand out to me immediately...
