NBA 2K9 Preview (ESPN Videogames)

[WTF]

I love this time of the year... haha. New guys registering... and infractions everywhere.

Anyway, the skin tones are definitely improved this year. For some reason, I've always preferred the player models of Live over 2k... seems like 2k's torso's are always short, thus making the models look "squatty". Still the same this year. Regardless, the graphics are looking much improved, as far as textures, and facial likeness. I want to see the game in motion, as that's where true updates will shine.

And come on RJ... get your artists to render LBJ's face a tad better... But from broadcast or nosebleed view, I don't guess I"ll be able to tell too much, haha. As long as LBJ plays like LBJ... then I'll hold my peace.

That's the "stumpiness" that I'm referring to. Look at Bowen and Finley If you've seen these guys in person, you'll realise how lengthy their torsoes are. Thats my one problem with their player models.

Let's leave the guy alone who likes to accessorize. He might be the most fashion conscience guy on the site......

WT, that's the jersey moreso than the players, but it might be a tradeoff for the cloth movement. I dont know but yeah their models never seemed lanky enough
