Look at Turkoglu they fixed his head! and Rondo also looks updated in terms of his face

Also Rondo's armband looks shorter

I think that is a bare calf. The shadowing gives the appearance of a leg sleeve. But I'm getting geeked for this game like it's the dreamcast NBA 2K ORIGINAL!!!!

I Hate to be a nit-picker but from these screens were getting. I don't see any graphical improvements. Besides the models of cource (if you call it graphical)

If Barkely was 6'4'', the MJ was 6'4'....just sayiing (BTW can someone tell me how to post pictures in these posts without it just being a link).

For the Chuckster to only be at 6% is kind of baffling because who is voting for Wilt over Barkley? I'd love to play with a Wilt led team don't get me wrong, but Charles IMO is a better choice over Wilt right? Aside from MJ, Charles would be the 2nd most wanted player in the game especially during these times with how the game plays today (Reggie Miller would be 3rd on that list). Barkley has to be in this game, I mean it's only right. Had it not been for Timmeh, he would still be considered the greatest PF EVER TO PLAY.

Now the screen shots look good. Love the sock OVER the long leg sleeve, hate the fact that jameer nelson looks like himself in nba2k6. The Adidas arm sleeves are very welcome. As far as sneakers go, I know that will change closer to launch or whenever the art person who does sneakers gets around to it. My only hope and wish is that they have been given the ability add as many shoes as this basketball season will release. Also, besides MJ's shoe collection and Dr. J Rockin the chucks, they have to (I'm hoping) have more classic bball kicks. I'm a sneaker guy and while probably some of you don't share this love for kicks, I do and I know I'm not the only one. So please if any one on 2K development staff reads this, I love what your doing, I can't wait for the game, but please gives us more shoes!!!! And Charles Barkley

It seems a little better, just a little, but I agree. Graphics haven't been boosted seriously since 2K9 (after the terrible graphics in 2K8). Now, you'll read some posts from guys saying: "Who cares about graphics? It looks good, and gameplay is much more important!" and: "It's the limits of this generation, they can't do anything until next gen". Seems like you an I are the minority here, so don't expect graphical boost when so many people take these graphics for granted and don't ask for more. If people wouldn't complain about glitches and gameplay problems, do you really think 2K would be where they are today gameplay-wise?

Not on everyone's list. Personally, I can't stand Chuck on TNT as a TV personality, but it'd be nice to have him in game. I have zero interest in controlling the Suns or his Sixers, and the only time I'd use him is if I had or make a '92 Dream Team.

You don't speak for everyone nor do can you determine what's "right" for 2K to implement.

And also, Karl Malone > Charles Barkley IMO.

Finally someone who understands me.

As for the rest of what you've wrote, it's a matter of opinion. I'd love to have the 1993 Suns. I actually remember seeing Dumas back in the early 90's before returning to the NBA. The guy was one of the most athletic players in Euro basketball back then and he won a couple of local dunk contests. Too bad he couldn't say no to some things...
