Player faces really need to be better worked. KD does not look like KD. Barkley is too muscled in DT'92... etc
I am worried about it, guys.

Nothing to be worried about imo. They look good. of course, work could always be put into that department but it's not like it detracts from the game.

KD might not look much like him in that pic but in the moving video he does look alot like himself. I've seen still frames from movies where the actors don't look like themselves but there's a difference between a still and a moving picture.

Not at all, but if there's a choice between getting players who are out on the court for a long stretch of games to look great and getting a bench player to look accurate I'd rather have them spend time on the "important" players.

There are 450 players in the league, there's no chance they could get all of them to look perfect.

You know a game is good when we're just nitpicking at cyber faces and what not. I am thankful for 2K13 after seeing the other game.

# 27 Eman5805 @ 08/22/12 01:33 AM

Most of those cyber faces aren'te ven that far off. I mean other than less...I don't know the technical term, whatever makes certain player's heads look so shiny, only ones that really need updates are CP3, Paul Pierce, Jeremy Lin, and Tyson Chandler. And I'm certain Lin will get a better look cuz I don't even think he had a cyber face before that bruhaha started with the Knicks.

# 28 BezO @ 08/22/12 09:04 AM

Melo, pay attention & stop looking at the camera!

Trust me, when video of gameplay (from the broadcast view) is released there will be PLENTY of criticism to go around. The truth is, as much as I love 2K's basketball games, 2K doesn't want that type of exposure at this point in the game of marketing.

True, but I already saw a couple of things that I don't like anyway

What is wrong with Avery Bradley defensive stance in that picture? And check the play in the video insight, he doesn't even try to help to stop tony parker layup, he just stays like that and looks like doesn't even notice Parker driving to the hoop. And the scary thing is that Bradley is supposedly a good defender...

Good find - in reality the whole team would've recognized the mismatch well before Parker got past him and adjusted accordingly. It's possible they could've just turned help defense down just so T Parker could go 1 on 1 with KG for purposes of making this video.

Me? I'm all about audio. I want to hear that solid thunk shots make when they bang off the back iron and in. And certain arenas have their mics in the rim scaled up when shooting FTs so when whoever swishes nets it plays really loud. The Mavs do that, and I know others do.

I think that's going too far as far as anylising screenshots. We have no idea how, or for what purpose thoses little gameplay bits/screenshots where taken.

# 33 JerzeyReign @ 08/22/12 10:29 AM

Plus, most big men need to get of their 'half ***' stance anyway to keep up with a speedy guard turning the corner to keep up and/or to get in a better position to make a block/distract the shot.

Edit: Reading back over that it sounds like an excuse -- I hate excuse -- I apologize

CP3 looks way better than the nba 2k12 version of him. It's a plus, and no one is showing kevin any love? lol

KLove looks on point. Looks like they made sure to take into account his weight loss too.

Yeah, that's a strong possibility.

me too i want to get hype in big games. Like months ago i ask 2k, when a big shoot goes down can you make the whole arenas erupt. And with popular teams like chicago, lakers, miami, and knicks. whenever they visit some teams, can they have the crowd kinda mixed. especially when the knicks come to miami its always a good amount of knicks fans in the AAA. I so want presentation over players sweating. cause when playing the game i don't even notice the players not sweating or sweatinh

So, I'm an accessory and sneaker guy, checking to see if the shoes are hi-res instead of low-res and if certain sleeves and knee pads are correct and what not, and the first thing I notice....

YTF are the Thunder wearing white socks and white shoes on the road???? I mean seriously that is sooooo frustrating. 2K does this EVERY YEAR, as well as Heat with white socks black shoes and Bulls with black socks black shoes (didn't look through all screens to see if they still do this). I don't think the Thunder have worn white socks white shoes on the road since they first moved to OKC and finished 23-59. I seriously hope they fix this before the game releases cause that's inexcusable.

Yeah I figured the Bulls get the black/black cause I think they've been doing that since the Jordan 97 days possibly, so I can understand that being a mistake as "that's the last thing we've seen them wear", but really the Thunder haven't work white/white on the road at ANY point this season, and possibly last season, and being that the team has been on the 'rise' for the past 3 seasons you'd think they'd figure that out by now. I've noticed the Kings get their socks and shoes messed up like you said, hell I remember the Heat started off with white socks on the road at the beginning of 2K12 and it's so frustrating because I have to wait like a month or two for them to get up and update the rosters to the correct colorways just so I can start my association or myplayer.
