Okay, I stand corrected. Didn't know they only had so many body types. Sounds like 2K Sports just need to add more.

I speculate that the body scanning is more about tones/textures/colours than about length/size/shape.....

Could be wrong though.

More info from that thread in case folks didn't go there and/or read it:

	Their bodies are literally the exact same. There are a couple of differences, like the length and size of Carmelo and Curry's legs but the size of the arms are literally the same. These supposed 'body scans' don't scan the size of arms. You will also notice their jerseys are the exact same, this jersey comes with the player model. It's a bit misleading to be honest and I'm surprised people haven't noticed this over the past two years. As I've said before, they have given KD the high school player model which is Bodytype #7. It looks like Paul George will have the same player model from 2K16, which is Bodytype number #1.

Trying to tell ya'll lol. There aren't any new player models. Just reused/reconfigured ones. 'Lean' doesn't exist in 2K. Just "less stocky"

Probably more so for textures, skin tones (maybe), & general player likenesses. They were never specific about exactly what they were doing. Just "scanning".

And folks...that's how marketing works. Lol.

Only for tones, textures maybe? I would say so. I think face scanning works this way aswell doesn't it?

They scan the face from many angles and then map it to a 3D model?

I mean I knew guys like Sully, Green, Big Al were essentially stuffed into pne body type....obviously...

Thought some guys were specifically modeled though...

Oh some of us noticed.

He still looks bigger.

Probably has LeBron's body type now.

Still... This is what we gonna roll with?

Basically that and tattoos, scars that can be mapped on a certain body type. 7 body types wow mind blown. They must not have enough memory to really do all those body types. Something is limiting factor maybe the real body scans are the limiting factor. Or they didn't have enough time. I am going memory

Im just going off what dude said...no reason to only believe some of what he posted... he was on point with the rest of it...

Think what we can conclude is these body types need an overhaul in general...

and I'm not even a guy who it bothers like that

It does seem odd that they can only use 7 body types. If this was a trivia question, I would have guessed 20 something. Sounds like a developer question. I just want to know for the sake of knowing.

Like it was said before...only seven body types for 430 players??? WTF?

Only possible theory I can think of is that these body types have to be removed & replaced (not edited) and that would be too time consuming.

Otherwise, there's no real reason to keep these player models. I dunno..

# 120 Goffs @ 08/16/16 01:14 AM

Eh...I'm surprised some of you graphic whores didn't even notice. I've noticed this after playing a couple of games...

The legs will be no different this year either. At this point I don't even care any more...
