First NBA 2K12 Screenshot: Mavericks vs. Heat

That shadowing on Dirk looks really awkward, needs a bit of work.

Those socks really need some better texturing as well, to get rid of that "plastic" look.

The player likenesses still look nice, though.

Looks like LeBron jammed his right thumb in a car door.

That's the first thing i noticed. I hate to complain about something that doesn't effect gameplay at all but I feel like that's one thing holding the visuals from looking truly amazing. Very rarely in a basketball game are players going to have blank stares on their face (no matter what is happening) yet it happens all the time in 2k (again no matter what is happening). If you watch replays you can even catch players with their eyes closed at inappropriate times.
What I don't understand is that on some plays (shots, dunk, layups, etc) players appear to emote or yell (at least open their mouth) but it seems to be random and not consistent. I'm not expecting L.A. Noire face animations but I would atleast like to see player faces show emotion at the appropriate times, not just whenever the game feels like it.

I think what I've noticed that's extremely different from 2K11 (at least I think so) is the muscle definition. Like look at Dirk's legs you can see the scar, or vein whatever that is, and his calf flexing as he's rising in the air. To me it's the little details that make a game look that much more realistic. Nice job even if it's early 2K!

New sock texture!!!!

Dirk's face reminds me of those Leonardo Da Vinci paintings for some reason...

Finally you can wear rubberbands and arm sleeves. Loving the colored shirts worn by the fans in the crowd, Game looks great already.

I hope they put more body types and different WINGSPAN (but sadly I have a feeling that this is impossible for this generation of consoles)

And they better remove those Aldridge's long socks , update his tatoos , give him some beard and HIS OWN sig shot.
