Look man I understand where you're coming from on this but this is exactly what we don't need at OS. Throwing out personal attacks because people have different things that really bother them.

When it all comes down to it, this is the main problem the board is having. Those who don't care about something putting down those who do, visa versa and the general "your opinion is trash cause it ain't mine"

Realize I'm not standing up for the "The devs are lazy" "This game is trash (with no explained, well thought out opinion)" types

I see people go over the top with their descriptions and it makes me tune them out because while they may be unhappy with D. Howard's hair or George's body....those models arent "horrible" or some kind of "insult" (actual quotes from this thread).

I agree they aren't horrible.
I thought Durant was fine last year, but i took in his shoulders a bit because they were editable.

I also don't mind this years Durant... that's never really been an issue with me.

However I do think a guy like Dwight could be better.. not only because of reference pictures, but nba live did it (even if the gameplay was average), and so did 2k14 last gen.

The hair has been wrong for 2 years... his model is weird looking when i see the real dwight and nba live's IMO, and that doesn't make me spoiled, whiny, a crier or anything like that.

It also depends on what you are looking at. Jordan in those screenshots was unfinished and didnt have his correct facial features.

A haircut or a body that is slightly off isnt something that I consider "horrible" but to each his own.

Fair point as I did describe Chris Bosh's model as horrendous. Poor choice of words, but I find him the most glaring example of the resulting issue of players being assigned to just a handful of body types. I don't feel that looks like Chris Bosh at all.

I wouldnt use those terms to describe your feelings or you. You have every right to describe it as off or say it could be improved.

Like I said, my issue is with the over the top statements.

i think we both can agree here, in general, as my gaming experience doesn't hinge upon likeness. but i literally know a guy that has not bought nba2k since 15 bc they continuously screw up larry bird(in his eyes) as well as other legends. the likeness struggle is real, for many.

I agree with you about the excess. It brings some perspective.

Hate to say the dog days of August and the super slow release of anything at all has contributed to this.

Really disappointed to see that around the 0:45 mark Durant is knocked off balance by winslow and thrown into an animation similar to the one in 2k16 when you would get hit while trying to do a spin layup and rendered immovable for a good second. Was really hoping this would be removed from the game but 2k has continued their theme of prioritizing things like better bench celebrations and bench players wearing warmups rather than fixing gameplay issues. On a side note Westbrook looks so much better than previous games.
