The lighting is still so sterile and drab. No vibrancy in the flesh colors and all reflective light on the models produces a grey highlight as opposed to reflecting the vibrant colors of the court, jerseys, arena lighting.

Atleast the sweat in 2K14 gave it a little more dynamic look to the players. These screens still have that lifeless plastic appearance of 2K15.

Someone should fire up 2k15 and get that same angle....I think you'd see the same head shape...

They just scanned him two weeks ago

after further inspections, anthony davis looks borderline pink like rufus from kim possible. james harden just looks off, but steph looks good

Not really impressed tbh.

Kinda looks exactly the same. Maybe it's the lighting?
But considering this is year 3 on ps4 I was hoping for a huge graphical leap. I guess they can't get anymore out of the graphics but the ps3 versions made significant leaps year after year until the cartoony looking washed out effect.

It's only a screenshot but with each new bit of info I'm second guessing buying.

I'll reserve judgment for the release tho.

Looks good to me but I agree about what some are saying about the lighting. I'm curious why this game along with other sports games don't have an in game brightness slider similar to most FPS or rpg games?

Looks good. Can't wait to see some actual gameplay.

i agree. 15 takes a more true to life color scheme. i do like that it seems they smoothed the jaw line of Steph in 16.

I just put that photo to assure you that they did full body scan of AD and it will (probably) look good.
 
# 113 Teddy_Long @ 08/05/15 01:13 PM
they need to scan the players in their actual uni imo

With all the nitpicking going on here I'm not surprised they aren't willing to show gameplay yet.

id suggest you take a look at the 'photographic' thread from 2k14. Im not sure that ballon look you speak of was an issue. The skin in 16 so far is red.

Curry has kind of this "thousand-yard stare" (crazy) look in his eyes

as I said in a previous post, the pic Curry pic is good, but there really isn't much of a difference (other than hairstyle) from 2k15. The one thing about lighting in the other game is that it highlights a player's facial bone structure, dimensions, creases etc. So the proper lighting has more to do than just making things brighter. Without it, surfaces still look kind of 'flat'.

Why are people trying to damage control? lol we all know the lighting was superior in 2k14. Just stop it.

They also released a new Michael Jordan Screenshot. Now it actually looks like Jordan for 2k16!
