He mocapped the shot....

You're right. His free throw form is slightly off in that clip. But they're right. They did mocap him.

If they mocapped exactly what he did. How do you explain it being off? They edited the mocap for no reason?

Or could it be when they recorded that footage it wasn't a perfect release. And they shot the ball too soon resulting in a shorter stroke or more abrupt motion?

Maybe it was a slight capture accuracy issue or Curry actually shot it that way. He doesn't always fully extend when shooting free throws. Sometimes he gets a little more extension than others, but in a clip I just checked he stops short of extending fully though similar to the clip. His next free-throw he seems to shoot more extended.

First Curry FT maintains a slight arm bend.

The animation will probably look a lot better in full speed especially with that wrist bounce.

Now they better get his 3-point shot right. THAT better show full extension and even hyper extension in his release with that same wrist bounce.

Agree with his shot. Been waiting on that for... well. Since he entered the league.

Hyperextension and no hitch in his shot or I riot.

For all this talk about lighting and reflections... there's one thing MAJOR that's missing!

I couldn't point it out at first but something looked really off and a little fake in the shot of his shoe. I just realized what it was-- THERE ARE NO PLAYER REFLECTIONS IN THAT SHOT.

That's why his feet kind of don't seem to be solidly grounded. At that camera angle, the reflection should be very prominent.

I'm hoping it's just a case of an early build where it's not turned on. 2K DOES have player reflections, or at least it did in 2K14 and 15 (however faint).

Hmm looks like graphics are the are new crew, when it comes to year end complaints.
