Definition. KEY word. Muscle def is not in the game. So they are trying to replicate body types with shape but it just looks odd in some cases without definition.

Butler is also quite defined in real life. But if they bulk his arms up he'll just look fat(ter)

But the shoulders are also key to the issue.

Besides getting a Jack the Pumpkin King vibe from Durant, I am liking the slimmer body types from the game play

Why is KD's free throw form so off?

For example A player's pull up release will be different than their fade release Plus it is subtle enough to not be a distraction for people that don't use it.

Same - plus not everyone can dedicate time to memorize multiple releases. When i beat my friends in 2k16 there was always a legitimate excuse. Bs things happened - releases were weird - open shots didn't fall. I like to win knowing i outplayed my opponent - more times than not - in 2k16 it just felt like whoever was luckier won. Not whoever was more skilled or made better decisions..

2k art team not messing up on a player that's not a superstar? I expect muscles on this kid....

In the context of a VIDEO GAME that is not a one-for-one exact representation of real life I'm good with Durant's model. I'm actually VERY satisfied with his model. I'd much rather error on the slimmer side when it comes to representing NBA players in a video game.
