Agreed. Plus the skintone on his face is darker than on his arms.

But these screenshots of these players models has been terrible body wise. Then you have Ronnie and Czar laughing like we have the issue and it blows my mind that they can look at these models and say "Nailed it". It's ridiculous. Yes, Czar the screens at first players were too big and yes now they are skinny. Man, I just don't understand it? This dude has no type of muscle definition or anything. Not a game breaker but I hope they can fix this stuff before 2K17 releases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The point they seem to missing is that it is not about being "too skinny" or "too bulky", it is about being ACCURATE; looking like the person they are tying to represent. And for some inexplicable reason, this is such a big challenge for the 2K art department.

The fact that this is still an issue makes the whole body scanning thing last year seem very gimmicky.

I work in a videogame company and I manage the community through social media and I would be fired in 2 seconds for those twits.

Only a company that does not have anything to lose would allow that.

There's humble and then there's the 2K Team it appears.

They have the market. They know they have the market. And they don't mind taking jabs at said market knowing it's going to pay for their product anyway.

And they have my money. I can say that with 100% confidence. I just wish EA could inject some humility back into them.

Hopefully, they bring it next year.

I dont get how some people give them a pass. Their behavior is not professional at all and the criticism of the body types were really justified.
While these dudes are out here making fin of the community.

some players looks great, while others look so-so. interpretation is based on said artist's perception of any given player and artistic skill level/style.

Funny, I was working with a social media manager the other day.

I watched as he copied and pasted criticisms/feedback from his company's facebook and twitter accounts into an Excel spreadsheet.

He even had them categorized by the type of comment. I imagine someone is doing this for 2K (Probably LD), but what they actually do with this feedback is a different story entirely.

EA's presence in the ecosystem is very important. Even if they never catch up to 2K quality wise, just them having a game out and being competitive is better for all of us.

Not a fan of this "new" 2K.

Czar is one of the most humble guys on the team...but he's human. Thats why the tweet is still there...his team knows this and has his back.. Its incredibly weak to me that guys (not you) feel like they can call these dudes everything under the sun and then want to act like their feelings are all hurt when guys react. Very weak. I'd personally have too much pride for that.

I also realize that there are guys that were simply providing feedback that get caught in the crossfire- but those people arent the ones that caused his reaction- guess Czar has earned the benefit of the doubt from me..

It's odd that no one has posted his series of tweets after that though...probaby because it doesnt fit into the whole 'mean 2k' narrative...but as always he gave some perspective on the whole thing..
