NBA 2K16 Screenshot of Kevin Durant (Overall Rating 91)

Nah, they got it perfect. If you've seen KD in the last year or so, he is carrying a bit more weight in the upper body these days. That 2K16 pic is basically exactly what he looks like now.

I think this is the best looking lighting we've seen so far for 2K16.

The neck and arm openings on the 2K15 jerseys always had those strait/jagged lines (if that makes sense). Looks much better for 2K16.

I really don't understand all the negative backlash about the new rating system. It basically means that the rating system is based upon the greatest ever at any one thing instead of the current generation of players.

Yes Lebron may well be an all time great, but a lot of that is to do with his size, speed for his size and his IQ. He's an unspectacular shooter from 2....average at best from 3 and hes declining athletically theses days.

What I believe the rating system will mean is that across the modes, a 99 in any attribute means that you are the best at that particular thing in the history of the game....which is a lot better than a whole bunch of players maxing out simply because there is no more room to go with the stats (apart from Myplayer I cant speak for that mode - as far as we know ppl could still buy their way to 99 on that...). The obvious benefit is with MyTeam but it makes sense for the ratings to be universal across the modes so you can relate to the numbers across the modes.
