Listen if that's the case then fair enough. But at the end of the day the general consensus seems to be that the arms are a bit too skinny and the shoulders a bit too broad - based on the Gamescom footage (which has to be the most recent build) - with a few exceptions of course.

No big deal - we've talked about it and thrown it around for a while so as to create the illusion that it is a big deal, but to me its not and I'm sure neither for you.

I think people just saw something (myself included) and voiced an opinion.

Seems to be the general consensus on the Schroder pic also (back on topic). Which I agree with.

But overall and at the end of the day, thin beats thick. Hands down.

I'am not sure we're talking about the same thing. You're saying that the 2K17's trailer Durant isn't the same as the gamescom one right ?

I'm led to believe that's the case (based on Czar's tweet today). But he may have been referring to 2K16. At which point, see my previous post.

I also feel like he looks skinnier in the Gamescom footage which leads me to believe they made a change.

My eyes may be deceiving me though - so I could be wrong about that.

Yeah he appears to be skinnier but it's hard to tell, I don't really trust theses videos as far as proportions go. It's possible the builds are different from the trailers to the gamescom demo but I highly doubt they made Durant skinnier after the trailers reaction. I don't even recall people calling Durant too bulky or anything in the trailer's thread. I think Czar was saying that in a more general sense that people complain all the time that the players are too huge or too bulky and now we're here complaining that Durant is too skinny. But it's true, he is. Not a big deal to me and I take NBA 2K17 trailer's Durant any day over what we have last year. Now it'd be cool if they could add some muscle definition to thoses arms.

Seconded. 100%.

Durant wasnt bulky in 2k16

He was too wide in the mid section area and those traps made it look worse

I could post 2 screens of an edited one to show you how he looks with his arms a bit longer and his shoulders narrower.... looks good, but its the midsection that irked me because those guys are still skinny, not thick

I like the new KD though, i just think they have to get the jersey fit right to pull that off. Id like to see how he looks with his shoulder width reduced a bit.

The muscle definition is def. something that needs to be had.



Live had some nice models, but there were things off about that game too. It just looks better in stills..but they had the right idea


I wish 2k could do the shorts like this
Spoiler



Even with a dude who is kinda fat, you can give him just enough definition to still not look like he has baby fat for muscle which makes him look soft

Problem with KD's upper body in 2K16 was the fact that his shoulders were ridiculously wide. Somebody at 2K decided to give him a 75 in shoulder width.. that's higher than what Anthony Davis got (72) . Not here to bash the art department, but the 2K17 Durant change was unnecessary and exaggerated. All they had to do was drop the shoulder width.






Could still use more definition, but you get the point.

Damn, didn't know he was that big in 2k16. And now he is way too skinny. They had him perfect in 2k14.

I still prefer 2K17 team USA trailer KD.

To each his own I guess. Can't get past the fact his shoulders don't slump at all in that trailer, personally. Looks like they fixed that though.

Schroder also did not need a new body type. Contrary to KD, all he needed were his shoulders enlarged.



But anyway, I'm done now lol
 
# 97 gantous @ 08/20/16 03:50 PM
I like the body type variety even if they aren't 100% exactly true to life I like seeing Shaun Livingston and other skinny guys in the league actually look different from the other bulkier guys in the league. I will be absolutely outraged if they don't incorporate different body types for the generated rookies in Myleague im sick and tired of all the rookies looking exactly the same i wanna make my Shaq 2.0 rookie!

I am not mad about it. They both just look silly IMO because they are acting like people are seeing things or can't make up their minds. They are the ones that seem to have been in they feelings the past few days. We're just calling each screen what it is; even some casual Twitter fans notice. Some of the beginning ones was too fat or wide. And now their so called skinny is way too skinny w/ no muscle definition.

Like I said, I am not big on noticing shoulders too wide, necks and etc but when I seen Jimmy Butlers SS, I noticed ASAP this dude is huge and his waste looked terrible. Then KD and Schroeder, I instantly knew their arms was too skinny and looked weird. I am sure we can deal w/ KD arms but from that SS, I don't think anyone can say that he isn't too skinny and that's the best 2K can do. But that USA screen gives me hope. It looked good.

Agreed. Plus the skintone on his face is darker than on his arms.
