There was no shoot around in NBA2k16. Ingram and Simmons weren't in NBA2K16. But I do agree we need more

is it me but the colors seem dull?

Spoiled? A lot of us are spending $100 on this years title.

The game isn't free...

This is just a bad oversight and something that should be fixed. This is one of those scenarios where I wish more 2k devs were on twitter were people could tweet them about this issue and it gets passed on to the art teams.

Some people care about these details some people don't. YES WE GET IT. No one is acting like twitter internet gangster kids on here, no one needs to be policed by the "I don't care what they look like cause I remember what they looked like in Kobe Bryant NBA Courtside - types. Yes we all agree gameplay first. That is what makes a video game good or crap. Duh. But A) the same dev team that do the "body scans" are not the same dev team that implements gameplay improvement. B) This is a TRAILER. It's showcasing the aesthetics. If members see things that are off that you think look fine, cool. It's not about being satisfied or not. It's about the desire to see technology pushed towards realism with each installment. Other wise why aren't we just all content with our old antenna tv with analog programming?

I dont think anyone was using that as a precursor to "bash." Its just an acknowledgment that many of us have some perspective when it comes to NBA games.

So when I see people describe a player model as "horrible", I remember other NBA games that had actual "horrible" models and recognize that the statement is just hyperbole.

I see people go over the top with their descriptions and it makes me tune them out because while they may be unhappy with D. Howard's hair or George's body....those models arent "horrible" or some kind of "insult" (actual quotes from this thread).

The Knicks 3 point line should also be blue. That should've been picked up on by 2k, and I've never seen anyone post it. Now I understand how others complain about small things like ankles etc. it's small details that matter sometimes

In this thread. I would never take one thread or even OS as an example of the "overall consensus" when it comes to anything about a game.

I guarantee 99% of people who play the game think Paul George looks fine.

U Guys.. ! im starting to hate this board.. the level ob crybabys here is absolutely ridicoulos.. all u guys doing is cring about fin muscle definition, big jerseys, the wrong blue* and what ever.. its a joke with u guys.. and the Master of crybabys is WIsports.. 2k should just ban u from playing it if the game is as **** as u guys make it out to be... go out and play some real ball u guys are taking this stuff too serious.. next thing axillary hair are to long huh? and u guys saw the knees?? omg the knees look too clean.. and drummond needs his hair on the back omg its a disaster.. incredible..

Look man I understand where you're coming from on this but this is exactly what we don't need at OS. Throwing out personal attacks because people have different things that really bother them.

When it all comes down to it, this is the main problem the board is having. Those who don't care about something putting down those who do, visa versa and the general "your opinion is trash cause it ain't mine"

Realize I'm not standing up for the "The devs are lazy" "This game is trash (with no explained, well thought out opinion)" types

I agree they aren't horrible.
I thought Durant was fine last year, but i took in his shoulders a bit because they were editable.

I also don't mind this years Durant... that's never really been an issue with me.

However I do think a guy like Dwight could be better.. not only because of reference pictures, but nba live did it (even if the gameplay was average), and so did 2k14 last gen.

The hair has been wrong for 2 years... his model is weird looking when i see the real dwight and nba live's IMO, and that doesn't make me spoiled, whiny, a crier or anything like that.

It also depends on what you are looking at. Jordan in those screenshots was unfinished and didnt have his correct facial features.

A haircut or a body that is slightly off isnt something that I consider "horrible" but to each his own.

Fair point as I did describe Chris Bosh's model as horrendous. Poor choice of words, but I find him the most glaring example of the resulting issue of players being assigned to just a handful of body types. I don't feel that looks like Chris Bosh at all.

I wouldnt use those terms to describe your feelings or you. You have every right to describe it as off or say it could be improved.

Like I said, my issue is with the over the top statements.

I agree with you about the excess. It brings some perspective.

Hate to say the dog days of August and the super slow release of anything at all has contributed to this.

# 216 DMTS @ 08/22/16 03:36 PM

Really disappointed to see that around the 0:45 mark Durant is knocked off balance by winslow and thrown into an animation similar to the one in 2k16 when you would get hit while trying to do a spin layup and rendered immovable for a good second. Was really hoping this would be removed from the game but 2k has continued their theme of prioritizing things like better bench celebrations and bench players wearing warmups rather than fixing gameplay issues. On a side note Westbrook looks so much better than previous games.

# 217 sdhatt3 @ 08/22/16 03:46 PM

A lot of talk about peoples right to bash/not bash details.

It's okay to be critical, it's not okay to assume incompetence or laziness. These devs have under a year to deliver a polished basketball simulation. Of course they work hard, but they will miss things.

The thing is, they also get our money, and a substantial amount of it. So we reserve the right to criticize parts of the game that are substandard.

It sucks when certain details are completely missed. Muscle tone, shoulders, arm size, leg size, jersey size, etc. DO matter, and it sucks that 2K hasn't nailed it down yet. I'm sure it's incredibly hard to do so, but to me, body models deserve priority over cheerleaders, virtual interviews, half time locker room cutscenes, 2KTV, and all the **** like that which comes off as 'look, we made it shiny!' I just wish those assets were poured into the core gameplay and visuals. What increases the value of your product more, having players and jerseys move and look as close to lifelike as possible, or having a flashy broadcast presentation with pointless sideline interviews, the same tired halftime and end game cutscenes, dance team pan outs, stupid player dancing into timeouts after being up 10, ALL that **** I just wish I could immediately skip that could have been completely ignored to spend another few weeks/dev salary on player modelling/close attention to every important gameplay and player detail.

# 218 lakers24 @ 08/22/16 03:49 PM

BTW, MSG and Staples both look exactly like 2k16 as far as the stage lighting is concerned.

# 219 Vni @ 08/22/16 03:59 PM

That animation we see at 0:54 on Noah is that an animation to hold the ball up (instead than holding it down and risking a steal) after grabbing a rebound and to create some separation with the arms ?

# 220 23 @ 08/22/16 04:03 PM

Think someone had mentioned the nets previously. It finally looks like they got it right with the knots and everything.

If the rim physics and sound is improved then bravo.
