Based on that All time Bulls team screen, Jordan looks to be very improved.

Any chance there's a street hoops / style badge for guys like Jason Williams. Would be really cool if we could get some of those handles and passes in the game.

Like that old freestyle nike commercial. He's in that. Check it out on YouTube

- Shaq's face texture and model is really good. The only downside is that it's huge in relation to his body. His head isn't that big in real life.

- KG's face looks good too, but perhaps a little too old (for 2004) and his head a little too big.

- The muscle definition in both players is clearly noticeable when flexing, although Shaq looks more defined than KG when it should be the other way around.

Spoiler

- Chris Webber looks much older and a little zombie/pale looking (his skin is darker and his face should have a healthier/happier aspect).


Here's a good picture with his real skin tone:

- Where is Kendall Gill looking at? (a cheerleader on the sideline?) Isn't he supposed to be looking at the breakaway dunk of the player he was guarding?

- Too bad they didn't have time to update Scottie Pippen's face texture...

Do you think we'll be able to edit and customize the player's size and body types so they're more accurate?

Based on the new video, they have severely and inexplicably butchered the 2004 Lakers.

Kobe's player model is bald and looks more like current Kobe
Karl Malone is the same player model from the All time Jazz team and has hair instead of a completely bald head.

Also the 91 Bulls, I guess? Even though Jordan is wearing Jordan 8s, look like they are using that horrible 91 Scottie Pippen player model instead of the improved 2k17 92 Dream Team Pippen player model. I also have yet to see Jordan stick his tongue out in any footage, and am starting to be concerned that it may be either removed as it was when 2k17 first shipped or that the strange "fix" that was added to it after release is still being used.

You are touting all this All time teams content and new classic teams but you are not making efforts towards authenticity. Especially when it comes to these easily acheived instances of accuracy. Such as giving Kobe from the 2004 Lakers the correct hair or Karl Malone a bald head. This means it is probably likely that Alonzo Mourning on the 2006 Heat is still inaccurate and has the 93 Hornets player model with hair instead of a bald head. It also likely means that 2006 Dwyane Wade is the same player model since the 2006 Heats inclusion in 2k16. Which looks much more like 2009 Wade than his actual appearance in 2006.

I'm pleased that Shaquile O Neals player models look to be improved but the All time teams trailer showed that Shaq's early superstar teammate, Penny Hardaway, looks to have the same player model that he has had since probably 2k14. Which is one of the worst least accurate player models and it goes untouched.

Honestly I'm grateful to 2k for the work they have put in, but man some of these inaccuracies are just glaring.

I still think KG needs to be skinnier. He always looks 'bulkier' in 2K than he was in real life. In real life, in his prime, he was something like a more muscular Durant (maybe one size bigger on the jersey/shorts).

Pippen looks fine. Not everyone has to be updated every year.
