The leg/calf area actually looks slimmer to me than it does in NBA2K15.

Didn't come to any conclusion, just said that's the general feel I'm getting from what we've seen thusfar. Once they decide they would like to share some screens and videos in high resolution, perhaps that feel will change. So far though, the overall textures and lighting on them looks very mediocre to me.

I hope there's an option to change them...
NBA players can wear normal black and white socks or the team themed socks.

I really don't see NBA players during the game wearing those team colored socks, especially the older guys.

I hope they have themed socks at least for the All Star games this year, probably the only time the players will wear different socks. Surely if they're showing them in an in-game screenshot we have to be able to equip them how we like.

If that was solid, I can understand why you would like most of these things to be like in real life, but with so much of the actual game far from perfect, I just hope 2k for once really goes all in on getting the best game possible on the court.

Though I agree that gameplay trumps everything, I don't see these as competing features. There's a gameplay team, and there is an art department. They can work in parallel.

What makes it "obvious"? It's not a hard celebration to replicate. Anyone could have done that. Heck, they could've had Rivers do it.
