NBA 2K17 Screenshot - Paul George

[MarkWilliam]

Kinda on/off topic.... I wonder if 18 pages of thread will happen for every picture they release on Instagram.

I'm keen to see it from a broadcast cam - can't wait for that day.

This pic looks great (despite the issues most people seem to have with it - myself included), biggest thing I took from it is the nice lighting.

But this just means we've ascertained 2K looks great up close. Can't remember the last time we didn't think this.

But sure.....keep 'em coming.

It's used by players like Dwyane Wade, DeMarcus Cousins, Kemba Walker, Derrick Favors etc. Bodytype #3 - This is the skinny body type. It's used by players like Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Kevin Durant (2K16) etc. Bodytype #4 - This is the muscular body type. It's used by players like LeBron James, Isaiah Thomas, Dwight Howard, Nene, David West etc. Bodytype #5 - This is the awkward fat body type. It's used by players like Dirk Nowitzki, D'Angelo Russell, Andre Drummond, Jonas Valanciunas etc. Bodytype #6 - This is the fat body type. It's used by players like Draymond Green, Glen Davis, Shaquille O'Neal, Al Jefferson, Zach Randolph Bodytype #7 - This is the high school body type. It's going to be the body type that Kevin Durant is going to be using in NBA 2K17 and it looks ****ing stupid. When they say body scans they don't mean they actually scan the size of the arm/legs etc. All they do is scan the wingspan, the shoulder height, and the body length.* To prove my point watch what happens when I swap out a player with the same body type and give them the same height, wingspan, shoulder height and the same body length as the previous player in this GIF.

Wow GREAT post! Here I thought 2K actually went and scanned every player's actual body type, and you're telling me there's only 7 in the game?

This is a problem I have with videogames in general and sports games specifically. It's very easy to make a game look gorgeous from a screen shot with or without touching up the image, especially in a close up, zoomed in screenshot.

That's not to say the game will look bad or worse than whats portrayed in the image but you can't always judged graphics accurately from these close up shots.

The real judgement comes from seeing the game in motion from a gameplay camera. Still images can look clean and great but the real test is how the game looks in motion. Animations can make or break how realistic a game looks and typically things like jaggies and clipping issues are more prevalent in motion than in a specifically chosen screen shot

Even with 7 body types they could edit certain features on those bodies to make them more like the true NBA players.

NBA Live is doing the same thing.. so is Fifa.. so is Madden..

At what point would they decide to sit down and go to work on overhauling these 7 body types? Not the whole body but trim the unnecessary bulk.
