NBA 2K16 Screenshot of Dennis Schröder, Cover Athlete in Germany

11:34 AM - August 6, 2015 by Steve_OS

Dennis Schröder is the cover athlete of NBA 2K16 in Germany, check out the screenshot of him in action.

If you missed it, the French NBA 2K16 cover features Tony Parker, confirming 25 Euroleague teams.

We are still awaiting official word on which teams they are, but it's very likely it will be the same teams as last year.

He looks exactly like him in real life.

That screenshot looks good. I'm liking it more than the shots from yesterday.

Kind of strange Dirk isn't the cover athlete. That screenshot is crazy. So pumped for this year.

This looks beautiful... But he's an unattractive fellow... In videogames and real life

Good to see a ATL on a cover. First time i can remember seeing one of us. Hopefully, he will have better ratings this year.

the screen is decent but i liked the skin textures of Curry and Davis better... this one has a semi plastic look to it

Ever wonder why Dirk's face seems off for next gen? I think he's one of the players that opted out to be scanned. Might also be the reason why he's not the cover boy....

that or they are trying to get young talent on their cover opposed to an older guy to cater to younger people

Schroder has a lot darker complexion than Davis or Curry. I think that's where that "plastic" look is coming in. The game doesn't show the character of really dark complexions, like it does the lighter skinned guys. It's the imperfections that bring it to life in the game. Hopefully in the future they can get the darker complexions down.

And his hair is still screwed up...

I actually stated this in one of my youtube videos.. the white or lighter players seem to have better skin textures, where dark players look like they rubbed WD40 on them... direct quote from my video lol

Why do they keep showing just the upper half of the body & not the entire body in these screenshots (with the exception of the Lowrey shot)? I want to see the full body (legs, calves, etc..) to see just how effective this body scanning is.

I was thinking the same thing I just knew they would only be releasing full body pics after they announced body scans were in this year. Esp. with a guy like Anthony Davis on the cover show off his full body scan.

the full body scans dont concern me as much as the faces and the skin textures... The bodies will be fine

What's wrong with his hair?

I see they still didn't fix the issue with Dennis' shoulders & arms being a different skin tone than his head and neck (not sure about legs). It is a pretty glaring issue that I was hoping they'd fix. Maybe this is a old face scan, obviously the same from 2K14/2K15, and they will fix and update him before launch.

Sam Cassell, Popeye Jones, and Tyrone Hill have just had a new inductee to their wing in the Hall of Fame.

The non black part is more of an orange than a blonde yellow like it is IRL.
