Meh, I don't see how you've come to that conclusion. Player models look good other that the husky legs which I never notice.

I'm sure they will look nicer in the game on your TV/Monitor than through a picture.

Got a good feeling about the shoes this year

As someone who likes to make rosters, I'm guessing we won't be able to edit teams into retro teams anymore as they will all have these socks generically. The only option would be to replace them with ankle braces/ wraps, given the quality of the graphics this year it won't be as easy to substitute socks with these accessories anymore as they will look too realistic.
I hope there's an option to change them...

The leg/calf area actually looks slimmer to me than it does in NBA2K15.

Didn't come to any conclusion, just said that's the general feel I'm getting from what we've seen thusfar. Once they decide they would like to share some screens and videos in high resolution, perhaps that feel will change. So far though, the overall textures and lighting on them looks very mediocre to me.

NBA players can wear normal black and white socks or the team themed socks.

I really don't see NBA players during the game wearing those team colored socks, especially the older guys.

If that was solid, I can understand why you would like most of these things to be like in real life, but with so much of the actual game far from perfect, I just hope 2k for once really goes all in on getting the best game possible on the court.

Though I agree that gameplay trumps everything, I don't see these as competing features. There's a gameplay team, and there is an art department. They can work in parallel.

What makes it "obvious"? It's not a hard celebration to replicate. Anyone could have done that. Heck, they could've had Rivers do it.

This right here is a CRIME

# 91 MoneyOvaHuds @ 08/15/15 04:54 PM

Again what makes you think he didn't cap it being he's a cover boy ? What athlete in recent 2k years that was on the cover wasn't mocapped ?

Where did they mo cap them? Those dudes don't come in for mo cap

Exactly why it was stated here it was Steph's contract to be on the cover

# 96 CookNBA03 @ 08/15/15 05:14 PM

Will the have the option to wear the normal socks?

That's a release already in 2k15. A lot of the time I've spent on 2K is editing shots so I would know. The "C. Bosh" form is what they have Harden with in that trailer and it's clearly not correct.

Seriously. How about we refrain from jumping to conclusions and save the "the textures look low-res" complaints until we see the game running in 1080p/60 FPS?
