NBA 2K16 Screenshots - Steph Curry, James Harden & Anthony Davis

[The 24th Letter]

Actually a mod suggested changing the pace of the conversation....being that opinions on the lighting had been stated.....over...and over again. No one said anyone violated TOS though...it just went to that overboard level...as it often does around this time...and yeah that can get annoying.

Outside of the guys who have already pretty much concluded they aren't going to like any pic that drops from 2k.....I know most here are fans of he game just giving feedback though.....that's fine. I was actually serious tbh....Why not just start a thread on it? I think everyone can at least agree it has room for improvement..

The lighting in 2k14 was great and vibrant, but not that realistic. No court has that much shine sitting live at a real basketball game, and players don't look like they have shiny wax smeared on them when they sweat.

Amazing that a thread made about 3 new pics of their cover athletes has turned into this, I applaud everyone.

IT'S A THREAD ABOUT SCREENSHOTS AND WE'RE DISCUSSING HOW LIGHTING EFFECTS THE GRAPHICS???!!!!!

Can people stop cluttering already with the "it needs to end" "omg we're still going" stuff??? lol..you're complaining is actually what's off-topic not discussing how lighting is effecting graphics on a picture of the game's graphics lmao

2K14 was a little over-exaggerated, yes. But it was still closer...more vibrate more life-like.

2K15 hands down was smoother and the player models were better...but the overall feel felt more like a game and less lifelike.

We're just wondering if because of gameplay improvements did the graphics take a hit...or did whatever direction the art directors take steer away from 2K14's look. If they could have improved on 2K14's lighting I think it would look beautiful 2 years later.

Like people have said we just want to see the game look lifelike as possible. No one's bashing the game or saying it's ugly at all. The game looks great...and I'm just saying if the game can push the lighting even further it could really set 16 off the top and be the best looking game, period.

The thread is about 3 screenshots. What exactly would you like to discuss in this thread?

The point is. The discussion should already be over. Say your piece and move on. What is there to discuss? Some like it. Some don't. End of. It should have ended 30 pages ago. There's no need for three pictures to be a 40 page discussion when historic teams aren't even on 8 or 9 pages.

This isn't a difficult thing to understand. It's pretty damn simple. There's not a lot to discuss. It shouldn't last this long and people are just being overly critical desperately trying to find something to keep the argument going.

40+ pages on Steph's hair is insane. It's Stan level creepy.

The lighting could have its own topic but unfortunately it's completely subjective and nobody will ever agree. Some people just prefer the warmer tones and some don't (I'm the latter). Still, having its own topic makes some sort of sense. Discussing one guys hair doesn't.

But hey, still just me. Never mind. I'll leave you guys to your argument. It clearly means a lot to you. Everything has to be perfect for you guys, not me. I'm more concerned with gameplay and game modes. Each to their own.

Obviously people still feel like discussing a topic that's relevant to the screenshots posted, especially in the absence of any other information. With all due respect, I'm not sure what's supposed to be achieved by dictating what you think should be in a thread and for how long, over and over and how many posts are acceptable before the thread should stop.

In all honesty that seems more off topic, repetitive, and unconstructive to me, and it's always been odd that certain folks attempt to control other posters based on their own particular sensibilities. There have probably been more posts by yourself about what other posters shouldn't post than any single person has actually posted regarding lighting or Steph's hair. Think on that for a second.

And I say this as a GSW fan. I'm GLAD people actually care about Steph's appearance and accuracy that much. You might be satisfied with a game where Steph doesn't resemble himself when he's the COVER ATHLETE, but I would think that would be all kinds of screwed up, especially after we've waited for so long for even his shot to be correct. The latter only took a few broken records, a lead vote getting all-star selection, and a ring to finally happen.

For all I know, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime thing for some of us-- that our favorite player from a much maligned franchise somehow grew into an All-Star, then an MVP, then a NBA champion, and topped it off by being the main cover guy of our favorite video game. It's surreal and something that I both never thought would happen and simultaneously knew had to happen sometime last season. I don't want 2K to give anything less than they're capable of.

I'm going to go even further and say I don't just want 2K to get his hair right as is-- I want them to keep it accurate if he changes it during the season. At least there's some hope for that since they updated haircuts in a mid-season roster update.

LMAO... I was leaving this but since you insist on dragging me back into it.



1. How does he not resemble himself? He looks awesome his face is staggeringly realistic it's insane how on point he looks.

2. His hair looks exactly like it did when they scanned his head, go see the old vine of him being scanned. If he didn't brush it out that's on him.

3. You hardly see players that close during the game.

4. I'm more concerned with them getting Steph's jump shot and dribble animation right. But hey, keep salivating over his hair. I'll stick to basketball. Agree to disagree and move on. Each to their own.

5. It doesn't require a 40 page discussion to say "his hair could be better". It's a one page discussion at most, then another 9 pages for lighting. People are being nit picky as ****. Appreciate what you've got because overall he looks incredibly realistic. That's not up for debate.
