Hmm you got any other examples though? Only seems to apply to the player who's facing the other way (as a result of the attempted block).....I see what you're saying though...

I guess they stopped handing out the screenies.

Or they ran out of players who would "drop them a follow".

I just don't understand how 2K can look at some of these player models & not tell that their arms are too skinny let alone missing muscle definition smh. I mean look at this comparison pic. What's worse is they changed certain players body types that didn't need to be changed (Dennis Schroeder comes to mind). Idk it just baffles my mind how this game can be so detailed but yet they can't seem to get something as basic as player models down. Most players in the NBA don't have huge traps like NFL players but in 2K they do. Most players in the NBA have broad pronounced shoulders but in 2K they don't. This type of stuff really puts a damper on the game for me. I get that it doesn't bother some people but I'm big on authenticity & immersion. Player models need to be top priority next year.

Seriously bro. These screenshots are killing the little bit of hype that I had for this game smh.

I actually don't believe muscle definition is in the game. There's bulky body types but not defined or "ripped" from what I've seen.

That seems to be the underlying issue.

But yes, next year perhaps. From a playable cam hopefully it softens the blow for you bro.

I hear ya but I'm just gonna make peace with it with fingers crossed for 2K18.

I'd like to see Iggy. He'd be a good indication.

These player models are so terrible, the only thing I can think of is they're doing this on purpose, so next year they can tout "all new, more realistic player models".


That's the only conclusion I can come to, because there's no way their art department can be this incompetent. And if they are, then whoever is in charge of the bodies needs to be fired.
