Sometimes it's little nuances that throw them off, for example, here's CJ McCollum. You can tell he's scanned but his eyes have a certain "bulge" to them irl that the scan didn't really capture:

Lighting looks better than last year and faces look awesome!

BUT: I've been noticing the last couple of years that uniforms have been left behind, most of all seeing the huge leap faces and skin textures have gotten. Tissue textures and stitching in logos and numbers look lastgen-ish and low res compared with the rest of the body.

I'd love to see some improvements in this field soon.

What no one I've seen mention is that it seems 2K completely redid the hands. 2K14 and 15 had great hands but they were a little sausage like.

The new shots look properly bony at the knuckles and more slender in the right ways. Look at the shot of Whiteside pointing. His hands look amazing.

Also check out the faint brachial veins on Gobert. That looks amazing. His actually aren't that prominent but that looks very realistic. It'll help white and light skinned guys look a lot more believable.

Good point out! Didn't notice this..... looks great!

I'm doubting the body scans get dissected by 2K as to what/how it all went down/works etc. so having a guess, I would think they scanned as many as they could, but maybe focussed scanning as many different body "types"..... I would think any of the unique ones (Durant, Davis etc.) - lankier, long wing span etc. they got (or tried to get) and then just scanned some other normal bodies and applied to the common types where applicable.

This is how it would make sense to me in a practical way (without having to scan 100% of the leagues bodies - that seems like quite a task) and as such, they can blanket apply cool little features like having real looking hands, visible veins etc. as we're seeing in all of these pics....

This is all a guess, but yeah.....wouldn't mind knowing more about the process....

Loving the screens, especially IT's arms as it really got to me last year lol. Also nice seeing Hassan finally make it to this generation with the new face lol.

Only nitpick is some issues with jerseys, like the side of the Miami Heat jersey not going right to the armpit area. Been an issue since 2K14.

Other than that liking what I'm seeing!

I think the game looks damn good since 2K14, for this year, it's an evidence body scans are giving some players an extra realistic touch but overall it pretty much looks the same across all 3 games for me.
Just hoping they perfect some of the scans and that they have new presentation/audio this year, + crowd and bench player refinements!

The thing that was really messed up in 2K15 was the size of the size of the hands ended up looking like Kawhi Leonard size hands and then the actual size of the hands were too thick lol I guess like sausages. Which made the hands look even bigger. The size proportions of the hands were not right. The actual models of the hands look better but I hope all are improved, had to edit this they look better.

Examples

In game


Real life






His hands are big but his fingers are long but they are shouldn't be like sausages.
